Rebel Ridge (2024) 95% B+ EDIT “John Boyega was originally cast as Terry, but Pierre makes the role so thoroughly his own that it’s difficult to imagine anyone else pulling it off. He commands the screen with a handsome authority.” – IndieWire Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Getting It Back: The Story of Cymande (2022) 70% C- EDIT “Getting It Back: The Story of Cymande is halfway decent as a story about Cymande, but it’s sadly not even close to the story of Cymande. ” – IndieWire Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) 91% EDIT “The director managed to perfectly thread the needle, ensuring that ‘Glass Onion’ felt unique but still delighted the fans of its predecessor.” – The Ringer Mar 2, 2023 Full Review The Disappearance of Shere Hite (2023) 100% EDIT “Shere Hite is more of a boilerplate bio-doc, but some of its historical footage truly has to be seen to be believed, including a chilling sequence in which she appears on Oprah with an all-male studio audience...” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Little Richard: I Am Everything (2023) 94% EDIT “Little Richard: I Am Everything strongly makes the case that the most enduring and important traits of rock ’n’ roll were all innovated by a gay Black man, and it makes for fascinating counterprogramming with Elvis...” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review A Thousand and One (2023) 97% EDIT “[It] uses a beautiful Isaac Hayes–inflected score to tell its powerful story about a troubled mother in ’90s Harlem who tries to steal her child out of the foster care system.” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Fairyland (2023) 96% EDIT “Another fascinating theme that emerged this year at Sundance was movies that culminated with deeply emotional conversations between parent and child...” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Scrapper (2023) 94% EDIT “A disarming indie about working-class Brits...” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review The Persian Version (2023) 84% EDIT “A witty and touching look at a large family of Iranian immigrants in New Jersey, as told through the eyes of the family’s lone daughter, a lesbian filmmaker.” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Polite Society (2023) 91% EDIT “Every bit as ridiculous and delightful as it sounds...” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Kim's Video (2023) 71% EDIT “The designation fits, and if you’re a physical media treasure hunter (or if you happen to love awesome ’80s electro-pop scores that evoke the heyday of Tangerine Dream), this one’s for you.” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Cassandro (2023) 91% EDIT “Both give the best performances of their careers...” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Beyond Utopia (2023) 100% EDIT “An uncompromising look at the realities of people trying to defect from North Korea.” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review 20 Days in Mariupol (2023) 100% EDIT “The first major documentary to chronicle the ongoing war in Ukraine...” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review A Little Prayer (2023) 94% EDIT “Deeply touching...” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Magazine Dreams (2023) 80% EDIT “I nearly turned it off several times, and people who don’t have professional obligations to write about the film may be far less patient with it.” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Cat Person (2023) 47% EDIT “This added-on chapter really doesn't work, but it's an interesting swing that's fun to think and talk about even if it goes off the deep end. Cat” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review You Hurt My Feelings (2023) 94% EDIT “What ensues is a poignant and funny investigation into the little lies of encouragement we spout to our loved ones and the damage it can do when those built-up fibs are suddenly revealed.” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Rye Lane (2023) 98% EDIT “I May Destroy You that was purely about the chemistry and vibes between the main characters, that's kind of what you're in for with Raine Allen Miller's debut feature...” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Fair Play (2023) 86% EDIT “It’s the rare film that manages to substantially comment on one of the most prevailing issues of our current moment (toxic masculinity) while somehow feeling like a throwback adult drama from the ’90s intended for a mass audience.” – The Ringer Feb 4, 2023 Full Review
