Sing Sing (2023) 97% EDIT “Domingo's transcendent performance may be the center, but it's the world that flowers all around him that makes Sing Sing feel so special.” – Vanity Fair Sep 11, 2023 Full Review His Three Daughters (2023) 97% EDIT “His Three Daughters finds cinematic power not just in its intimacy -- Lyonne’s silent movie star eyes have rarely evoked so much -- but with Jacobs’s careful camera, building a fully realized world within these weathered apartment walls.” – Vanity Fair Sep 11, 2023 Full Review CODA (2021) 94% EDIT “Writer/director Sian Heder, with her exceptional cast, remains in full control of the tone even as the story follows every predictable beat.” – Vanity Fair Jan 29, 2021 Full Review Concrete Cowboy (2020) 80% EDIT “A loving tribute to the very real Black horse culture that exists in North Philadelphia.” – Vanity Fair Sep 14, 2020 Full Review Pieces of a Woman (2020) 76% EDIT “Kirby... brings to life a woman whom the film almost entirely defines by tragedy.” – Vanity Fair Sep 14, 2020 Full Review The Girl (2012) 70% EDIT “The Girl has plenty of its own strength, and ought to make for fascinating viewing for anyone who always suspected there was a savage man behind all those classic horror films.” – CinemaBlend Aug 4, 2020 Full Review My Bloody Valentine (2009) 62% 2.5/5 EDIT “My Bloody Valentine 3D doesn't have nearly enough fun with either its jazzy technology or its inherently campy premise.” – CinemaBlend Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Our Friend (2019) 85% EDIT “It's a small-scale human story, precious few of which make it to film these days. It's also, if you're in the market for that kind of thing, an extremely effective tearjerker.” – Vanity Fair Sep 11, 2019 Full Review How to Build a Girl (2019) 79% EDIT “WInning and funny, while also a bit surface-level and predictable, it is an excellent case for the twin powers of Feldstein and Caitlin Moran, the author who adapted her own autobiographical novel to the screen.” – Vanity Fair Sep 9, 2019 Full Review The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019) 92% EDIT “It's the sort of movie that gives nearly every character a thoughtful closeup before, somewhat fantastically, bringing most of them back together at the end for a tender sendoff.” – Vanity Fair Sep 6, 2019 Full Review The Hate U Give (2018) 97% EDIT “The film, directed by George Tillman Jr. and adapted by Audrey Wells, smartly streamlines characters and plots from the book, while inevitably losing some of the neighborhood color that made the novel and its characters feel so rich.” – Vanity Fair Sep 10, 2018 Full Review I, Tonya (2017) 90% EDIT “But while the film sometimes feels busy and scattered, Janney and Robbie are vivid anchors, diving into the kind of complicated, boundary-pushing characters that, let's face it, are usually the domain of men onscreen.” – Vanity Fair Dec 4, 2017 Full Review Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016) 65% EDIT “The sorority sisters of this movie aren't fighting for the right to party, but to do it on their own terms; Stoller, Rogen, and company have infiltrated the studio system to make a comedy on their own uncompromising terms.” – Vanity Fair May 18, 2016 Full Review Grease: Live! (2016) 92% EDIT “If you sensed a livelier energy while watching Grease: Live last night, a sense that there was something happening that people were excited to be part of, you weren't alone. FOX's first foray into the live TV musical genre scored huge ratings.” – Vanity Fair Feb 1, 2016 Full Review The Wiz Live! (2015) 91% EDIT “The Wiz Live! was, wouldn't you know it, actually pretty good.” – Vanity Fair Dec 4, 2015 Full Review The Night Before (2015) 69% EDIT “Seth Rogen may have grown up a lot since Knocked Up, but The Night Before still fits precisely into that wheelhouse of raunch comedy with heart. Thank goodness he hasn't grown up too much to make movies like this one.” – Vanity Fair Nov 19, 2015 Full Review Beasts of No Nation (2015) 91% EDIT “Idris Elba's ferocious performance alone should be enough to keep Beasts afloat... and the True Detective fans who fell for Fukunaga and his man-bun (now cut short, alas) can see this and know just what a tremendous, ambitious talent he is.” – Vanity Fair Sep 14, 2015 Full Review Equals (2015) 36% EDIT “Equals and its recycled dystopian ideas may feel like nothing new, but that's not a problem for the romance at its center, as old-fashioned as Romeo and Juliet and nearly as satisfying.” – Vanity Fair Sep 14, 2015 Full Review Colonia (2015) 29% EDIT “For anyone following Watson's slow and steady path toward becoming one of her generation's finest actresses, Colonia is more evidence of the exciting career she's building.” – Vanity Fair Sep 14, 2015 Full Review Straight Outta Compton (2015) 89% EDIT “Straight Outta Compton earns its place in the pantheon of biopics that are good, just not as great as the artists who inspired them.” – Vanity Fair Aug 13, 2015 Full Review X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) 90% EDIT “In an age when more and more movies just feel like stepping-stones toward the next, bigger things, is it so much to ask that it be a good movie all on its own?” – Vanity Fair Jul 13, 2015 Full Review Argo (2012) 96% 5/5 EDIT “The emotional catharsis of Argo isn't what happens onscreen, but the sheer knowledge that the creaky old moviemaking system has put together something this crowd-pleasing and great.” – CinemaBlend Jan 13, 2015 Full Review Big Hero 6 (2014) 90% EDIT “It's not as lovely as Pixar's best, or remotely as complex in its storytelling, but it makes for a refreshingly simple intro course on modern superhero-movie tropes.” – Vanity Fair Jan 5, 2015 Full Review The LEGO Movie (2014) 96% EDIT “It's one of the few movies based on a toy with no explicit story behind it. And it is, so far, the only one that's really good.” – Vanity Fair Jan 3, 2015 Full Review The Orphanage (2007) 87% EDIT “Though The Orphanage sticks fairly closely to a genre fomat, and the plot twists become a little predictable, the film packs surprises all the way to the end.” – CinemaBlend Oct 14, 2014 Full Review
