The Irishman (2019) 95% EDIT “While cinema is not to be restrained by reality, it is the double standard with which this film is judged that kept it at number 2 for me. Also, Joe Pesci makes it clear he is a national treasure.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Avengers: Endgame (2019) 94% EDIT “So much of the art form is about storytelling, and bringing so many side stories and characters to a satisfying conclusion is tough, and the film blended a (rather) unpredictable plot with emotional character beats deftly...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 14, 2021 Full Review First Man (2018) 87% EDIT “Damien Chazelle's First Man is an underappreciated masterpiece...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Apollo 11 (2019) 99% EDIT “There are no talking heads and no voice-overs in this documentary-the images and dialogue speak for themselves.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Uncut Gems (2019) 91% EDIT “It's only been 2 years since The Meyerowitz Stories, so maybe the intervals where Sandler is a little more willing to take risks are growing shorter.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Knives Out (2019) 97% EDIT “A great example of what genre cinema can be on its best days, Rian Johnson's whodunit takes the rules, bends them, plays with them, reverses them and then realigns them so smoothly...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) 97% EDIT “In a film filled with arresting images, none is better than its final shot. Haunting and raw.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Invisible Life (2019) 94% EDIT “A tropical melodrama that is so tactile you can practically smell all of the grime and bodily fluids presented on screen. The story of two sisters, torn apart by the men who surround them, is set in the 50s but speaks clearly to audiences today.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 14, 2021 Full Review Marriage Story (2019) 95% EDIT “Kudos for the funniest sequence of the year, at least in my book: the one where Charlie (Adam Driver) cuts himself while showing off a childish stunt.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 14, 2021 Full Review The Nest (2020) 90% EDIT “It's hard to point a finger at what makes The Nest so impressive. The writing is mostly minimal, showing rather than telling. Superb acting, not only from the two leads but also the teenagers and a couple of character actors.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Another Round (2020) 93% EDIT “...a true portrait of ambivalence when dealing with humanity's oldest vice.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 13, 2021 Full Review The Assistant (2019) 93% EDIT “A hum-drum office that contains all that is sinister in the world within its walls, anchored by one, specific scene of sharp dialogue where plenty is said, without actually being said. Perfect.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) 99% EDIT “Yes, the film deftly explores the toxicity around young girls' lives, but it is that candidate for scene of the year that sets it apart.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Mosquito (2020) EDIT “There's nothing new about war movies, but none have been as evocative of Apocalypse Now as this Portuguese gem.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Da 5 Bloods (2020) 92% EDIT “What a glorious and bloody mess this is! Spike Lee is so good at mixing his potion of ideas, themes and influences...” – Battleship Pretension Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Memory House (2020) 80% EDIT “Where Bacurau goes for pulpy fun, Memory House is slow, deliberate, and menacing.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 13, 2021 Full Review One Night in Miami (2020) 98% EDIT “What a sure hand Regina King showed in her directorial debut! It's a solid and proven screenplay, yes, but to block and shoot a chamber piece like this requires a lot else.” – Battleship Pretension Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Parasite (2019) 99% EDIT “Bong is very happy to indulge in farcical satire and by the midpoint of his movie, it seems that we're settling in for a modern take on the contrasts between two players in the class struggle.” – Battleship Pretension May 27, 2019 Full Review Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019) 86% EDIT “By the time The Mamas & the Papas hit the soundtrack, however, it's about time the California dream became a nightmare and this is where Tarantino steps into a minefield.” – Battleship Pretension May 22, 2019 Full Review The Lighthouse (2019) 90% EDIT “Not since the Overlook hotel appeared on screen has any piece of remote real estate been so ominous and obviously dangerous as the simple, weather-beaten lighthouse on the coast of Maine that sits atop a cragged landscape in Robert Eggers' new film.” – Battleship Pretension May 21, 2019 Full Review Sorry We Missed You (2019) 88% EDIT “Loach's fast paced, heart-wrenching film is short but sprawling.” – Battleship Pretension May 20, 2019 Full Review Bacurau (2019) 93% EDIT “Bacurau, the village and the film, is the portrait of a Brazil that survives by its own effort, through the strength and resistance of its people against whatever threatens them.” – Battleship Pretension May 20, 2019 Full Review The Dead Don't Die (2019) 55% EDIT “It doesn't really transcend the realm of niche aficionados and makes any political points it has very heavily,” – Battleship Pretension May 15, 2019 Full Review
