Zola (2020) |
Though the narrative loses its momentum towards the end of the film, with a talented and diverse cast, Zola still ingratiates us with the performances that we need to feel fulfilled by the end. - Film Inquiry

Beast Beast (2020) |
The way in which gun violence is used to propel the story and characters forward among all of this feels far too abrupt that the story and characters feel short changed in the end. - Film Inquiry

Save Yourselves! (2020) |
It's a whacky, dorky, and delightful apocalypse comedy that charms its way up into space. Save Yourselves! is the comedy of the millennial generation. - Film Inquiry

The Disappearance of My Mother (2019) |
It's filled with melancholy, delicacy, and captivation. There is a fine layer of philosophical and genuine intricacy that makes The Disappearance of My Mother a well-crafted tale of vulnerability. - Film Inquiry

Marriage Story (2019) |
Marriage Story is a promising film that has carved out powerful performances from the cast, but Baumbach's strategies in drawing out his character arcs are uneven, insufficient, and disappointing. - Film Inquiry
