Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% EDIT “It's not perfect, to be sure, but unlike a majority of the films after Aliens, it's one made with more dedication behind it, and with a clear passion for the series itself. It's a ride worth taking.” – Film Inquiry Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 93% EDIT “Killers of the Flower Moon is both a faithful adaptation and a masterful epic from Martin Scorsese.” – Film Inquiry Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Blue Beetle (2023) 78% EDIT “With an emotional family-focused core and some unique visual flourishes, it is a standout amongst recent superhero films.” – Film Inquiry Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) 91% EDIT “Glass Onion is a well-made, multilayered murder mystery, whose appeal lies not only in its subversive story but in its prescient ability to predict the future. It's one of the best films of the year. ” – Film Inquiry Jan 2, 2023 Full Review Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022) 96% EDIT “Guillermo del Toro‘s Pinocchio is amongst his finer recent films as well as one of the more standout adaptations of the classic fairy tale. It’s a must-see for this holiday season.” – Film Inquiry Dec 17, 2022 Full Review Harold and Maude (1971) 86% EDIT “The characters of Harold and Maude are its lifeblood; but the visual and auditory elements of the film tell its story just as well.” – Film Inquiry Dec 30, 2021 Full Review Nightmare Alley (2021) 80% EDIT “It's a tense thriller that will be sure to please audiences if they can get past the film's extended length, but it still had more potential to be something greater.” – Film Inquiry Dec 30, 2021 Full Review The Power of the Dog (2021) 94% EDIT “The Power of the Dog may be among the most unsettling films of the year, as well as one of Jane Campion's career-best. This is a highlight of 2021, and not a film to be missed.” – Film Inquiry Dec 17, 2021 Full Review The Harder They Fall (2021) 88% EDIT “Despite its flaws, if you're looking for a fleeting couple of hours with some talented actors and some exciting action and music, you'd be hard-pressed to turn away.” – Film Inquiry Nov 6, 2021 Full Review Cry Macho (2021) 57% EDIT “Cry Macho is a middling later effort by a still-living legend.” – Film Inquiry Sep 25, 2021 Full Review Dick Johnson Is Dead (2020) 99% EDIT “Perhaps the best way to sum up Dick Johnson is Dead is through the tone set through Kirsten Johnson's voiceover throughout the film, which is at times funny, at others poignant, and overall self-aware.” – Film Inquiry Dec 23, 2020 Full Review Bull (2019) 89% EDIT “It's slow yet impactful, telling the story of a small town yet one that is relatable to people of all walks of nature. It's a feature worth checking out.” – Film Inquiry Apr 7, 2020 Full Review The Call of the Wild (2020) 63% EDIT “If you can see past the somewhat distracting CGI animals, you may find yourself caught up in its youthful energy.” – Film Inquiry Feb 22, 2020 Full Review Dolittle (2020) 15% EDIT “Dolittle is what happens when you take a story with potential but fail to make it interesting or entertaining, with not even a slew of talented actors both in front of the camera and providing voices being able to make up for it.” – Film Inquiry Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Earthquake Bird (2019) 48% EDIT “It's unfortunate that Earthquake Bird falls apart in the way that it does, as a film with this much of a unique premise and setting and populated with talented actors had such potential.” – Film Inquiry Nov 23, 2019 Full Review Motherless Brooklyn (2019) 65% EDIT “It's a film for which it's hard to completely recommend, yet not one to completely ignore either. It shows that Edward Norton has some promise as a director, and above all that his heart is in the right place.” – Film Inquiry Nov 14, 2019 Full Review Doctor Sleep (2019) 78% EDIT “Doctor Sleep may not be the most satisfying conclusion to both the book and film version of The Shining, yet it is still an engaging film in its own right.” – Film Inquiry Nov 2, 2019 Full Review Sound of Metal (2019) 97% EDIT “It's a devastating, poignant, and ultimately hopeful film, especially for a side of humanity that rarely sees itself portrayed on screen.” – Film Inquiry Sep 28, 2019 Full Review Judy (2019) 82% EDIT “Judy isn't a particularly inventive or game-changing film. Much of its success rides on Zellweger's performance. Yet, for a genre that has seen its fair sure of mediocrity in recent years, it's still a worthy tribute to one of cinema's great stars.” – Film Inquiry Sep 28, 2019 Full Review The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019) 92% EDIT “The Personal History of David Copperfield may not quite have the biting wit of some of Iannucci's more overtly political satires, yet, it's a delightfully engaging narrative in its own right.” – Film Inquiry Sep 28, 2019 Full Review Color Out of Space (2019) 86% EDIT “It's everything all at once, without even a chance to breathe in-between. But hey, if that's what you're looking for, you're sure to get some enjoyment out of Color Out of Space.” – Film Inquiry Sep 21, 2019 Full Review The Long Walk (2019) 96% EDIT “The Long Walk is one of those supernatural stories that, as bewildering as they can be, are also a real treat as well, the type that will stay with you.” – Film Inquiry Sep 21, 2019 Full Review Lucy in the Sky (2019) 21% EDIT “To conclude, Lucy in the Sky is an unfortunate misstep for Noah Hawley. It takes his visual style and attempts to transfer it to a story that is as chaotic in tone as the real Lisa Nowak's criminal activities were.” – Film Inquiry Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Dirt Music (2019) 27% EDIT “Dirt Music is amongst the more unusual love stories I've seen in some time. That is because, first and foremost, it's not really about their love at all.” – Film Inquiry Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Ordinary Love (2019) 93% EDIT “Directors Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn approach Ordinary Love through an everyday lens. The film likely wouldn't work as well as it does without the dual performances of Neeson and Manville.” – Film Inquiry Sep 20, 2019 Full Review
