If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) 95% B+ EDIT “There’s an entire world created in this movie, a reflection of our reality, but soaked in Jenkins’ dreamlike view.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Love, Antosha (2019) 97% B+ EDIT “Love, Antosha will make you want to dive into the actors work, and it may even inspire you achieve more.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Echo in the Canyon (2018) 89% C+ EDIT “Aside from Jakob hogging the spotlight, it’s absurd how little insight Echo in the Canyon has.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Yesterday (2019) 63% C- EDIT “If the best part of a film about The Beatles is a lame Ed Sheeran joke, we’ve got problems.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Booksmart (2019) 96% A EDIT “Something just clicks about Booksmart. It’s startlingly funny, maybe a tad over the top, but I struggle to find something that’s a genuine issue.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Diane (2018) 93% B+ EDIT “Poignant and sneaky good...” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Apollo 11 (2019) 99% B+ EDIT “Apollo 11 is something astonishing to see in cinema. Every shot brims with beauty in the capturing of a decade, and the editing is what makes the film.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Little Monsters (2019) 79% B- EDIT “The juxtaposition of cute kids, Miss Caroline’s incessant cheerfulness, and the occasional musical number against the darker aspects doesn’t quite work...” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review The Aeronauts (2019) 72% C+ EDIT “If this film were a seventy minute, close quarters thriller set in an air balloon, maybe it would be something exciting. As is, it's more of a halfhearted attempt at winning awards.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Vivarium (2020) 73% C EDIT “Even though the two tried, they couldn't overcome a script that feels both apparent and undercooked. A good idea or two can only get you so far it seems.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Spenser Confidential (2020) 35% C+ EDIT “It’s disappointing to see Peter Berg slink away from what seemed like a solid career as an action-craftsman/director for hire. He can apply competence, he just doesn’t seem to want to.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Blood Quantum (2019) 90% C EDIT “Even though Blood Quantum was a solid swing at reviving them, zombies movies will have to stay dead for now.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Days of the Whale (2019) 100% B EDIT “Despite those drier sections, the entire movie rests on the shoulders of Laura Tobón Ochoa. She often shows nervousness and eagerness in one expression. If there’s a single reason to see Days of the Whale, it’s for her performance.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review An American Pickle (2020) 73% C+ EDIT “Simon Rich is a great short story writer, but it doesn't seem as if his strong suit comes with screenplays.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Identifying Features (2020) 97% B- EDIT “The reveal is crushing but somehow also too easy. To some degree, the ending feels like Valadez undercutting the detached, glacial nature of her movie, which is exactly what made it work in the first place.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Capernaum (2018) 90% C- EDIT “It hammers and hammers towards making a point by giving us a tour of explicit pain and struggle without any subtlety.” – InSession Film Mar 21, 2024 Full Review
