Motherless Brooklyn (2019) 65% EDIT “Motherless Brooklyn is easy on the eyes... But the movie is overlong and unfocused, too, and there's almost no emotional purchase, even as stakes escalate.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 12, 2019 Full Review El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019) 92% EDIT “It's just really good, much, much better than it needed to be. Aaron Paul surpasses his work in the series, playing an older, darker, wiser but not necessarily more enlightened version of Jesse.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 18, 2019 Full Review Lucy in the Sky (2019) 21% EDIT “Lucy in the Sky is flat and cold and terribly dull, despite decent work from Portman and her costars.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Oct 14, 2019 Full Review The Goldfinch (2019) 24% EDIT “The movie adheres to the book to its detriment, resulting in this futile, deathly dull exercise in translation-as-filmmaking. The Goldfinch isn't so much a movie as it is a very expensive book report.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Where'd You Go, Bernadette (2019) 50% EDIT “Richard Linklater's adaptation of Where'd You Go, Bernadette drops the epistolary technique of Maria Semple's book in favor of a more straightforward movie narrative, but this is still a muddled puzzle of incongruous pieces that don't fit together.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Aug 16, 2019 Full Review Yesterday (2019) 63% EDIT “There are almost too many problems with Yesterday to pick them all apart, so it's worth saying that the movie is mostly a pretty enjoyable experience.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Wild Rose (2018) 92% EDIT “It's time to get on board the Jessie Buckley train.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Men in Black: International (2019) 23% EDIT “The first hour or so of International is pretty tedious.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Jun 21, 2019 Full Review Aladdin (2019) 57% EDIT “This Aladdin is loud, cheery, tacky, and vacuously good-natured. Like I said, it could have been worse.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 30, 2019 Full Review Shadow (2018) 94% EDIT “It's pageant and poetry and ballet, except with super-sharp knives and umbrellas that kill people.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) May 10, 2019 Full Review Her Smell (2018) 83% EDIT “That performance is the main reason to see Her Smell. It's a tough movie to recommend-as I mentioned earlier, it's a tough movie to sit through. But Moss really is one of the best actors in the world right now.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 23, 2019 Full Review Amazing Grace (2018) 99% EDIT “Words can't really describe how exciting these performances are.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 23, 2019 Full Review High Life (2018) 83% EDIT “Some will be impressed by the weightiness of Denis's jag into zero gravity, but for me, High Life was a frustrating experience, a collection of half-developed ideas being sucked into an unfocused void.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 12, 2019 Full Review The Aftermath (2019) 26% EDIT “Dumb things ensue, because these are dumb characters in service of a dumb script, and the movie uses every period romance that's come before it as a shortcut to doing any actual storytelling work.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Woman at War (2018) 97% EDIT “There's a lot to like here, including the musicians and singers who appear onscreen, providing a live soundtrack and wry visual commentary.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Dumbo (2019) 46% EDIT “Dumbo is a deeply weird, hugely imperfect movie, and it's confused and off-putting for much of its runtime. But, against the odds, there's a genuine thrill every time this updated, ungainly little elephant takes flight.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Birds of Passage (2018) 96% EDIT “Birds of Passage, while steeped in and informed by real-life elements of history, feels both adjacent to and larger than actual events that might have occurred.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 27, 2019 Full Review The Kid (2019) 43% EDIT “It's all pretty conspicuously average, but The Kid comes to life in its second half, when Hawke takes center stage. Unsurprisingly, he's the best thing in the movie by a country mile.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Velvet Buzzsaw (2019) 61% EDIT “The humor is wry and dry and enjoyably mean, and while the story's more ridiculous elements eventually dominate, Buzzsaw's never less than effortlessly watchable.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Feb 1, 2019 Full Review Vice (2018) 64% EDIT “The performances really are something, but more than that, it's refreshing to see a movie that's this angry, and is so unconcerned with hiding it.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 27, 2018 Full Review Welcome to Marwen (2018) 33% EDIT “It looks dreadful-the actors are given computer-rendered doll counterparts that superficially resemble them eerily well, but in every other way are lifeless, distended, and grotesque.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 22, 2018 Full Review The Favourite (2018) 93% EDIT “The Favourite is a fiendishly fun time.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Robin Hood (2018) 14% EDIT “The movie is not unpleasant. But it is very, very, very dumb. It's so dumb that it will be a good 20 or so years before anyone dares to make a Robin Hood movie again, which really sucks, because the Robin Hood story is legitimately awesome.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 26, 2018 Full Review Green Book (2018) 77% EDIT “The movie's really nice, and it's hard to get too mad at it. Ali and Mortensen are both awfully good, and the script, for all its familiarity, is kind of comforting in its shticky predictability.” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 26, 2018 Full Review The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018) 89% EDIT “Scruggs doesn't behave like a typical movie-not even a typical Coen brothers movie. But these two have been amusing themselves-and us-with evasive, masterful films for more than three decades” – The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Nov 26, 2018 Full Review
