Trap (2024) 56% EDIT “Whatever else Trap may be, it is a Shyamalan movie through and through — ambitious in its initial concept, distracted in its thematic exploration, and delighted in its own twists.” – Polygon Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Nightbooks (2021) 90% 4/5 EDIT “The edges of this cinematic experience may be enough to give some children the kind of catharsis only the horror genre can offer.” – Den of Geek Sep 15, 2021 Full Review Gunpowder Milkshake (2021) 60% EDIT “Gunpowder Milkshake is a vibrant and entertaining movie, but its lack of a strong theme or logical story rob it of becoming a great film.” – Den of Geek Jul 16, 2021 Full Review Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “Raya and the Last Dragon is the most exciting Disney Princess story since the animated Mulan.” – Den of Geek Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Black Beauty (2020) 47% 2.5/5 EDIT “Disney's Black Beauty adaptation is all in on Horse Girl Canon. However, it is not interested in moving the canon forward as a foundational text.” – Den of Geek Nov 27, 2020 Full Review The Secret Garden (2020) 66% 2.5/5 EDIT “Though Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden is a classic of British children's literature, it is not an example of children's fantasy... The distinction matters, and it's one [this movie] doesn't succeed in articulating.” – Den of Geek Aug 5, 2020 Full Review Official Secrets (2019) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Official Secrets is a desperate and effective plea to modern audiences to better hold our most powerful institutions accountable before it's too late.” – Den of Geek Aug 21, 2019 Full Review Unicorn Store (2017) 66% 3/5 EDIT “We notoriously live in a cinematic age when big-budget films tend to avoid brightness and color, which makes spending time in Unicorn Store's glittery, yet grounded world so much fun.” – Den of Geek Apr 8, 2019 Full Review Captain Marvel (2019) 79% 3.5/5 EDIT “This movie is no Black Panther or, if we're expanding the field of comparison, Wonder Woman... Luckily, Captain Marvel doesn't have to be better than all of the MCU's previous films to be something enjoyable.” – Den of Geek Mar 5, 2019 Full Review Bird Box (2018) 64% 4/5 EDIT “Refreshingly, Bird Box gives a much more complex depiction of pregnancy and motherhood in a post-apocalyptic setting.” – Den of Geek Dec 21, 2018 Full Review Dumplin' (2018) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Dumplin' is so important. It doesn't completely avoid some common pitfalls of a book-to-screen adaptation, but is a fun, joyful celebration of female friendship and self-acceptance.” – Den of Geek Dec 18, 2018 Full Review The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018) 32% 3/5 EDIT “The film moves on the strength of its aesthetic wonder, almost as if you are watching a feature film made entirely of Tumblr-based gifs and mood boards.” – Den of Geek Nov 1, 2018 Full Review The Kindergarten Teacher (2018) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “Much of the film's tension exists in these moments, in the space between what Lisa is doing and what the viewer thinks is appropriate.” – Den of Geek Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Peppermint (2018) 13% 2/5 EDIT “While Peppermint might come out slightly ahead of other revenge thrillers when it comes to gender politics, it's blatantly racist.” – Den of Geek Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Crazy Rich Asians (2018) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “Crazy Rich Asians is one of those movies that both embraces and transcends its genre, in this case rom-coms, to work on multiple levels.” – Den of Geek Aug 10, 2018 Full Review The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018) 49% 4/5 EDIT “The Spy Who Dumped Me arguably tries to be too many things and doesn't fully succeed at all of them. But it does succeed where it needs to by constructing a central female friendship that makes viewers both laugh and care..” – Den of Geek Aug 1, 2018 Full Review Life of the Party (2018) 38% 3.5/5 EDIT “As a comedy, it gets in enough laughs. As an analysis of the boxes we put maternal figures into, it's refreshing, if not sometimes disappointingly safe. As a celebration of female relationships, it's a winner.” – Den of Geek May 10, 2018 Full Review I Feel Pretty (2018) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “I Feel Pretty is much too narrow in its scope of womanhood and its exploration of a very important, topical subject to succeed.” – Den of Geek Apr 23, 2018 Full Review Come Sunday (2018) 69% 4/5 EDIT “It manages to get into those messier struggles of balancing faith and religion. The result is a quietly contemplative character piece, grounded by a characteristically terrific performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor.” – Den of Geek Apr 13, 2018 Full Review The China Hustle (2017) 80% 2/5 EDIT “The China Hustle makes for an infuriating (and sometimes engaging) watch, but it falls far short of putting this particular financial practice into the context of global capitalism.” – Den of Geek Mar 29, 2018 Full Review Tomb Raider (2018) 52% 3/5 EDIT “Vikander imbues her action performance with a physicality that transcends most action stars, giving Tomb Raider an edge within the genre.” – Den of Geek Mar 15, 2018 Full Review A Wrinkle in Time (2018) 43% 4/5 EDIT “Today's kids could use more movies like A Wrinkle in Time. So could today's adults.” – Den of Geek Mar 7, 2018 Full Review Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (2018) 75% 2.5/5 EDIT “It's a rich concept, one that doesn't completely deliver due to regressive representation and predictable plot beats. But fans of the Elseworlds source material, steampunk, or Batman will find enough to like here.” – Den of Geek Jan 23, 2018 Full Review Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018) 42% 2.5/5 EDIT “If The Death Cure had been released when it was originally slated, it would have felt dated, contrived, and derivative. It still does, but a year later it's far enough behind the trend that you feel sorry for it.” – Den of Geek Jan 19, 2018 Full Review Paddington 2 (2017) 99% 4.5/5 EDIT “Paddington 2 is a feel-good masterpiece, a cinematic salve for the prejudice of our times.” – Den of Geek Jan 12, 2018 Full Review
