Entergalactic (2022) |
A charming joyride, and a sharp attitude adjustment for such a traditionally dreary artist... - The Ringer

No Time to Die (2021) |
Craig exits the franchise having earned a great deal of goodwill in the role despite a mixed record...he exits on a high note in No Time to Die, and that's more than you can say for Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again and Brosnan in Die Another Day... - The Ringer

Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain (2021) |
Roadrunner complicates the popular portrait, presenting a beleaguered hero who turned impulsive, defensive, and inscrutable in his final days. - The Ringer

Zola (2020) |
Despite the fun expressiveness of the original viral posts, the film adaptation turns Zola into an everywoman, and thus makes room for the average viewer to inhabit the situation. - The Ringer

Matangi/Maya/M.I.A. (2018) |
Matangi / Maya / M.I.A. presents M.I.A. as a rare and wasted asset: a woman who may have picked some loud and stupid fights, but for far more righteous purposes than messy celebrity entertainers typically offer. - The Ringer

BlacKkKlansman (2018) |
BlacKkKlansman is largely comedy, but even in the movie's most dramatic stretches, Lee robs the Klan and its many costumed peers of their mystical designs. The horrors are real. The politics are farce. - The Ringer

The First Purge (2018) |
As political allegory, The First Purge is delightfully excruciating...It's the politics of the purge that provide the movie's unique tension. - The Ringer

Sorry to Bother You (2018) |
Boots Riley disavows subtlety at every turn, and his movie is better off for this decision-Sorry to Bother You synthesizes the incisive and the ludicrous to yield the funkiest possible allegory. It's a class satire without peer in its decade. - The Ringer

The Problem With Apu (2017) |
Ideally, the stakes of Kondabolu's documentary are higher than just the future of The Simpsons or Hank Azaria's esteem...unfortunately, Kondabolu stops short of imagining a better version of The Simpsons or a world beyond Apu. - The Ringer

Death Note (2017) |
Essentially, Death Note is a serialized detective drama in which two strange wise guys face off to prove their superior wits. It's not that deep. - The Ringer

Can't Stop, Won't Stop: A Bad Boy Story (2017) |
As a record-label history lesson, Can't Stop, Won't Stop is incomplete. As a concert doc, it's a rough ride for the viewer. - The Ringer

Get Me Roger Stone (2017) |
You get the sense that Stone recruited these guys to help him pitch a package to general audiences. - The Ringer
