Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “Eternity bears a cute premise that becomes worn down through repetition.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 24, 2025 Full Review We Were Dangerous (2024) 97% EDIT “Lovely performances by the actresses make We Were Dangerous an engaging proposition despite its thunderous musical cues and shifting perspective.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Rollerball (1975) 56% EDIT “Jewison's anitviolence message is drowned out by the thrill of this movie's action sequences, which drown out the rest of the vague, cautionary tale. ” – Austin Chronicle Jun 4, 2025 Full Review On Swift Horses (2024) 53% EDIT “On Swift Horses presents a potent picture of the faultlines simmering below the American surface.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 18, 2025 Full Review Opus (2025) 39% 2/5 EDIT “Opus is an attack on media mouthpieces and mindless sycophants, but its barbs only scratch the surface before the inevitable mayhem takes over.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 13, 2025 Full Review My Uncle Jens (2025) EDIT “Vahabpour’s film is a gentle human story that grounds the specific in the universal. ” – Austin Chronicle Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Zodiac Killer Project (2025) 90% EDIT “Any students and/or devotees of the true-crime spree rampant in our modern storytelling will find Zodiac Killer Project a must-see.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 9, 2025 Full Review East of Wall (2025) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “As a first-time feature filmmaker, Beecroft’s storytelling technique could stand greater development, but her sense of place and mood is spot-on. Her film will definitely make you want to scrape the mud off your boots before you leave the theatre.” – Austin Chronicle Feb 6, 2025 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 72% EDIT “The knockout performances make the The Rule of Jenny Pen worth seeing, but there is not much more substance propping up this endeavor.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 46% 2.5/5 EDIT “Though the film is a jumble that oftentimes leaves its top-notch cast unmoored and renders its science-fiction elements somewhat anemic... Megalopolis is truly one from the heart, an outpouring from one cinephile to his tribe. ” – Austin Chronicle Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Blink Twice (2024) 74% EDIT “Although Kravitz’s pacing sometimes flags, she emerges as a distinctive storytelling talent determined to prick the comfortable contours of our accepted fictions and realities.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 22, 2024 Full Review The Greatest Hits (2024) 50% EDIT “Perhaps it’s asking too much for a time-travel romance to conform to rules of logic, but The Greatest Hits never strikes the right chord.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 18, 2024 Full Review The Uninvited (2024) 77% EDIT “Conner’s dialog and images are succinct and well-crafted, and enough good things cannot be said of this spectacular cast who bring their characters to life with precision and intriguing fascination.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 13, 2024 Full Review Pulp Fiction (1994) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “Rarely have I left a movie theatre more thrilled or invigorated as I did after leaving Pulp Fiction.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 1, 2024 Full Review All That Breathes (2022) 99% 4/5 EDIT “All That Breathes instills admiration and wonder while also subtly implicating human beings in a responsibility for the upkeep and furtherance of life.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 30, 2023 Full Review Joy Ride (2023) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “Despite the narrative through line being somewhat disjointed, the individual sequences shine like comedic jewels that further cement the characters’ relationships.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 20, 2023 Full Review Max Roach: The Drum Also Waltzes (2023) 100% EDIT “The film uses a vast array of archival footage and interviews to bring the recent past to life, often building sections into pulsating impressions that reflect its subject and an overall musicality. ” – Austin Chronicle Mar 14, 2023 Full Review Infinity Pool (2023) 87% 2.5/5 EDIT “Infinity Pool is a film that does not shrink from its transgressions.” – Austin Chronicle Jan 26, 2023 Full Review Empire of Light (2022) 44% 3/5 EDIT “We may come to Empire of Light like moths to a flame but, ultimately, the film’s glow lacks incandescence.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 8, 2022 Full Review The Fabelmans (2022) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “Inevitably a self-indulgent yet delightful origin story,” – Austin Chronicle Nov 23, 2022 Full Review Bones and All (2022) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Dark and bloody, definitely; but also, at times, sweet and hopeful.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 17, 2022 Full Review Holy Spider (2022) 82% 4/5 EDIT “A very effective thriller. ” – Austin Chronicle Nov 10, 2022 Full Review Armageddon Time (2022) 77% 4/5 EDIT “What it lacks in explicit moral structure the film more than makes up for in historic sensibility.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 3, 2022 Full Review Tár (2022) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “As masterful as the character it portrays, TÁR is a textured, finely calibrated, stunningly composed, and thoroughly contemporary study.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Triangle of Sadness (2022) 72% 2.5/5 EDIT “Instead of skipping lightly over rough seas, Triangle of Sadness bobs to shore like a floating sarcophagus.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 13, 2022 Full Review
