Young Woman and the Sea (2024) 88% EDIT “Young Woman and the Sea swims decently enough through familiar waters to present a steady, sturdy, and safe sports drama.” – Film Inquiry Aug 26, 2024 Full Review Migration (2023) 73% EDIT “Migration doesn’t soar to new animated heights, but it knows where to find the best spots worth visiting. It has enough charming locations and fun character moments to make it a worthy animated feature.” – Film Inquiry Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Poor Things (2023) 92% EDIT “Watching this film was like watching Yorgos Lanthimos at his full potential with no restraints. The wonder and wildness on display are enough to make one hope those chains stay broken.” – Film Inquiry Dec 9, 2023 Full Review The Holdovers (2023) 97% EDIT “The Holdovers is overflowing with gentle warmth and biting humor, making for a perfect Christmas movie and an easy go-to cheer-up picture.” – Film Inquiry Nov 2, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist: Believer (2023) 22% EDIT “You need more than head-twisting, jumpcuts, and platitudes about faith to make for a compelling paranormal horror in the same vein as The Exorcist; Believer isn’t even in the same country.” – Film Inquiry Oct 19, 2023 Full Review Dumb Money (2023) 84% EDIT “Though rough and messy, Dumb Money makes for an entertaining and relatable recount of the GameStop stock story. ” – Film Inquiry Sep 30, 2023 Full Review Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story (2023) 65% EDIT “It’s a well-shot movie with racing that makes up for the ho-hum drama that unfolds off the track. There’s a certain tension to see how the stellar racing footage can pick up the slack of a rather paint-by-numbers sports biography.” – Film Inquiry Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Strays (2023) 54% EDIT “Once all those dog jokes are exhausted, it falls back on the characters slinging as much profanity as possible as a substitute for a compelling story.” – Film Inquiry Aug 25, 2023 Full Review The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) 50% EDIT “Dracula may fare well at sea, but his film mostly sinks under its weight of cliche-strewn course.” – Film Inquiry Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) 95% EDIT “Mutant Mayhem gives the Ninja Turtles a fresh coat of paint as a welcoming revision with unique animation, compelling characters, and rap music that isn’t just Vanilla Ice. ” – Film Inquiry Aug 5, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% EDIT “Barbie is the ultimate summer movie for having as much wit and wisdom as it does charm, silliness, and an abundance of pink. ” – Film Inquiry Jul 23, 2023 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) 96% EDIT “Dead Reckoning Part One is a vigorous dose of action filmmaking at its finest, due in no small part to Cruise and McQuarrie pushing themselves further with each entry.” – Film Inquiry Jul 16, 2023 Full Review Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken (2023) 65% EDIT “Ruby Gillman doesn’t make a huge splash, but it does tread well enough to be an enduring animated film for those still in the kiddie pool. ” – Film Inquiry Jul 1, 2023 Full Review Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) 51% EDIT “An average action/sci-fi blockbuster that progresses passively through its action and visual effects showcases.” – Film Inquiry Jun 17, 2023 Full Review The Little Mermaid (2023) 67% EDIT “Dazzling and wondrous, The Little Mermaid makes a solid transition to become a part of Disney’s live-action world of remakes.” – Film Inquiry May 31, 2023 Full Review Still Human (2022) EDIT “Still Human is one of the most nuanced and eye-opening documentaries on poverty we've seen. ” – Film Inquiry May 6, 2023 Full Review Renfield (2023) 58% EDIT “Renfield manages to find fun parts of its vampire premise and sink its fangs deep enough to appreciate a Nic Cage Dracula picture. ” – Film Inquiry Apr 22, 2023 Full Review The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) 59% EDIT “Mario’s animated movie debut is too safe and passive, more content with referencing its source material than playing with it.” – Film Inquiry Apr 8, 2023 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) 46% EDIT “Despite an uneven tone, Quantumania mostly works as an enticing superhero adventure, despite how hard it veers away from Ant-Man’s previously zippy nature.” – Film Inquiry Feb 18, 2023 Full Review Little Dixie (2023) 53% EDIT “Little Dixie has little moments of thrill amid a sufficient yet standard crime story” – Film Inquiry Feb 18, 2023 Full Review Babylon (2022) 57% EDIT “Loaded with vulgarity, passion, and energy, Babylon is one big party of an intoxicating cinema explosion. ” – Film Inquiry Dec 24, 2022 Full Review The Menu (2022) 88% EDIT “The Menu is a masterfully dark comedy severed extra vicious and deviously delicious. ” – Film Inquiry Nov 26, 2022 Full Review Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) 65% EDIT “Hocus Pocus 2 is like pulling out that year-old candy from last Halloween and being mildly surprised it doesn’t taste that bad.” – Film Inquiry Oct 29, 2022 Full Review Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island (2022) 100% EDIT “Cucuruz Doan’s Island transforms a forgotten Gundam episode into one of the most exciting Gundam movies ever. ” – Film Inquiry Sep 30, 2022 Full Review Barbarian (2022) 92% EDIT “This is the perfect type of film for the horror fan burnt out on high-minded horror and is thirsty for something willing to try something more unhinged.” – Film Inquiry Sep 24, 2022 Full Review
