Amy Schumer: Live From the Apollo (2015) 90% EDIT “Contrite? Unclear. Still very funny? For sure.” – Vogue Jul 31, 2019 Full Review David Cross: Making America Great Again (2016) 71% EDIT “Are many of these jokes in horrible taste? Absolutely. Can Cross's comedy be difficult to watch? Yes, and not least because, you, like me, may find yourself guiltily chuckling at the punch lines.” – Vogue Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Three Identical Strangers (2018) 96% EDIT “Wardle metes out details slowly, with an eye toward suspense, pacing the story almost like a psychological thriller.” – Vogue Jun 29, 2018 Full Review Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife (2018) 100% EDIT “In many ways Hard Knock Wife recycles the Baby Cobra formula... luckily the shtick is just as funny the second time around.” – Vogue May 11, 2018 Full Review King in the Wilderness (2018) 100% EDIT “King in the Wilderness presents an unfamiliar portrait of its subject...” – Vogue Mar 30, 2018 Full Review I, Tonya (2017) 90% EDIT “... I, Tonya is a shockingly stark portrait of what chronic, escalating domestic violence might actually look like.” – Vogue Dec 7, 2017 Full Review The Florida Project (2017) 96% EDIT “The pleasure of The Florida Project is that we lose ourselves in Moonee's Eden: its aesthetics; its logic.” – Vogue Oct 5, 2017 Full Review Good Time (2017) 91% EDIT “It's a testament to the Safdies' incredible control as storytellers that neither the genre exercise nor the social commentary detracts from the emotional heft of this film.” – Vogue Aug 10, 2017 Full Review Landline (2017) 74% EDIT “If Obvious Child offered a quick sketch of its broader universe, Landline, Robespierre, Holm, and Slate's latest collaboration, is a carefully rendered study.” – Vogue Jul 20, 2017 Full Review Trainwreck (2015) 84% EDIT “On the one hand there's banter; on the other, there's knowing what you want and bluntly requesting (or demanding) it. Schumer's movie is a study in the difference.” – Vogue Jul 13, 2017 Full Review A Very Murray Christmas (2015) 68% EDIT “And it's true: The production values are not high. The transitions are awkward. The scripted jokes do not land. The actors seem unrehearsed. Many of the songs do not work. But, somehow, Bill Murray still charms.” – Vogue Apr 26, 2017 Full Review Fresh Dressed (2015) 91% EDIT “If you want a graduate degree in the history of hip-hop fashion, look elsewhere; if you're looking for an entry level course, Fresh Dressed is a great primer.” – Vogue Apr 26, 2017 Full Review Dope (2015) 88% EDIT “There are plenty of reasons to love Dope: breakout performances... an irresistible, caper-filled plot that's perfect for carefree early summer. But the film's spot-on reinterpretation of late eighties and nineties fashion is also a major draw.” – Vogue Apr 26, 2017 Full Review Colossal (2016) 82% EDIT “Vigalondo's thought-provoking monster mash is a fantastically weird and wild ride that's not for everyone. But when real life gets as surreal as it has in 2017 America, why wouldn't fiction follow suit?” – Vogue Apr 7, 2017 Full Review Gaza Surf Club (2016) 83% EDIT “Politics is not the point of Gaza Surf Club -- it is, in fact, barely mentioned -- but the political situation there informs every part of this project.” – Vogue Mar 30, 2017 Full Review Song to Song (2017) 43% EDIT “A long, strange, unexpected trip that's visually beautiful and unsettling in a way that lingers.” – Vogue Mar 20, 2017 Full Review The Dresser (2015) 100% EDIT “The best part of The Dresser is watching Hopkins and McKellen, two actors at the peak of their considerable powers, playing off each other.” – Vogue Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Trumped: Inside the Greatest Political Upset of All Time (2017) 36% EDIT “Trumped is among the first filmic takes on the election, but it surely won't be the last. And being so quick off the starting block may actually be a liability.” – Vogue Jan 27, 2017 Full Review Barry (2016) 80% EDIT “Barry is sensitive, charming, and measured -- a lot like the man its main character will go on to become.” – Vogue Dec 15, 2016 Full Review Miles Ahead (2016) 74% EDIT “Cheadle makes good use of Davis's penchant for sly one-liners, adapting his aphorisms into dialogue.” – Vogue Dec 14, 2016 Full Review Spring Broke (2016) EDIT “Ellwood uses archival TV interviews to give some context for why college kids were suddenly magnetically drawn to party on the beach.” – Vogue Dec 14, 2016 Full Review Harry Benson: Shoot First (2016) 85% EDIT “It's a breezy, enjoyable portrait of a man for all seasons, a likeable, charismatic, visual raconteur who would do anything -- who has done almost everything -- to get his shot.” – Vogue Dec 2, 2016 Full Review Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing (2016) 90% EDIT “It's [Patrick Downes' and Jessica Kensky's] story, still so unresolved, that hits home the hardest.” – Vogue Nov 22, 2016 Full Review Elle (2016) 91% EDIT “No matter how you cut it, serious or satire, thriller or comedy, Elle is a film for these times.” – Vogue Nov 17, 2016 Full Review Moonlight (2016) 98% EDIT “Moonlight, then, is subtle and evocative, as much a sensory experience as a linear journey.” – Vogue Oct 25, 2016 Full Review
