Listen Up Philip (2014) 82% EDIT “Listen Up Philip, in the end, is just like the central character it describes. It petulantly demands to be heard even as it has nothing to say.” – Brightest Young Things May 7, 2020 Full Review Mandy (2018) 91% 94/100 EDIT “In the end, Mandy is either extremely for you or it is extremely not; I feel bad for you if you're in the latter camp.” – Brightest Young Things Sep 27, 2018 Full Review The Bookshop (2017) 57% 1.5/5 EDIT “It mostly feels like somebody pedaling in place on a stationary bike who thinks they're on a bonafide journey.” – Brightest Young Things Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Love, Cecil (2017) 83% 65/100 EDIT “The result is a perfectly pleasant film about a mostly-pleasant subject that ends up expressing little of lasting interest about its subject or the implications of his life.” – Brightest Young Things Jul 31, 2018 Full Review Beast (2017) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “It is utterly bonkers, knows it is bonkers, and loves that it is bonkers.” – Brightest Young Things May 18, 2018 Full Review Racer and the Jailbird (2017) 37% 3.5/5 EDIT “There are a handful too many moments when the film sags or snags to call it great, but when its firing on all cylinders, it's blazing.” – Brightest Young Things May 11, 2018 Full Review Endless Poetry (2016) 94% EDIT “Endless Poetry is constantly engaged in the act of invoking without ever evoking anything. In that sense, its name is just wrong; there's no poetry to it at all.” – Brightest Young Things Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Marjorie Prime (2017) 89% EDIT “Marjorie Prime is adapted from stage to screen with such a lack of creativity, ingenuity, or re-imagination that I'm almost offended.” – Brightest Young Things Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Midnighters (2017) 80% 40/100 EDIT “Midnighters is an unclever person's idea of a clever movie, or someone's attempt to prove they're clever only to unclever people.” – Brightest Young Things Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Flower (2017) 48% 50/100 EDIT “Flower is indeed, smart, clever, and knowing - it's also ultimately vacuous, superficial, and self-absorbed. In that way, there's no distance between it and its protagonist at all.” – Brightest Young Things Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Loveless (2017) 94% 70/100 EDIT “Thin on character and narrative.” – Brightest Young Things Apr 26, 2018 Full Review The China Hustle (2017) 80% 2/100 EDIT “The China Hustle is one of the most disingenuous, cynical, and ultimately ugly documentaries I've ever seen.” – Brightest Young Things Apr 26, 2018 Full Review 1945 (2017) 97% 92/100 EDIT “1945 is suspenseful, loud, in motion yet claustrophobic, practically a Western.” – Brightest Young Things Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Where Is Kyra? (2017) 83% 73/100 EDIT “Anchored around terrific performances from Pfeiffer and Kiefer Sutherland, Where is Kyra deserves to be applauded for everything it does right.” – Brightest Young Things Apr 26, 2018 Full Review The Workshop (2017) 89% 66/100 EDIT “The Workshop would like us to feel like we watched something meaningful about a lot of different things, when in fact it tabled all the elements of meaning, set some of them rolling, but didn't follow through.” – Brightest Young Things Apr 26, 2018 Full Review
