The Prom (2020) |
Its constant straddling of the past, the present and the future -- mocking and enjoying all three at once -- leaves it feeling like a glib melange of half-baked progressive ideals. - GQ Magazine [UK]

The Boys in the Band (2020) |
The Boys in the Band deserves to be held up as one of the 20th-century's most important plays, but a revival that doesn't challenge the boundaries of the original work feels like a wasted opportunity. - GQ Magazine [UK]

Disclosure (2020) |
Sit down and watch Disclosure. Find an evening when the idea of anger, in an era of rage, is not too much to bear. - GQ Magazine [UK]

Marriage Story (2019) |
Their privilege is rarely checked or acknowledged, while the plight of others is never really addressed even slightly. It all feels very worthy, hoping insight will outweigh specificity, but it's something we have, literally, seen before... - GQ Magazine [UK]

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019) |
In the first few frames of the movie we're promised the story of a man who has fled and now needs to build a new life. Instead, we get something much less subtle, much more obvious and much less fulfilling. - GQ Magazine [UK]

Hustlers (2019) |
Everything about Hustlers absolutely astonished me. It was juicy and nourishing yet brittle and venomous, familiar but different in all the right ways. I couldn't get enough of it. - GQ Magazine [UK]

Toy Story 4 (2019) |
While Toy Story 4 feels unnecessary in many ways, it finds things worth saying, story arcs to satisfy and will make you cry more frequently than it's predecessor managed. - GQ Magazine [UK]

Detective Pikachu is so much more than the sum of its parts, a complete delight, and there is absolutely nobody who will leave this movie feeling anything other than joy. - GQ Magazine [UK]

Mid90s (2018) |
It's a smart, slight tale that stands strong even without the benefit of its famous creator. It's not going to change the face of cinema, but it might just speak to your own mid-Nineties memories. - GQ Magazine [UK]

On the Basis of Sex (2018) |
It's a film that becomes very confident in who Ruth Bader Ginsburg is, what makes her special, and why it came along in the first place. - GQ Magazine [UK]
