Hilda and the Mountain King (2021) EDIT “It all leaves me itching for more ensemble adventures, more Sparrow Scout badges, more wild creatures to meet, and ultimately, more space spent in this world I've come to love.” – Polygon Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Coraline (2009) 91% EDIT “The bone chilling image of buttons-for-eyes will get trapped in your head. But the twists and turns of this phenomenal kid's horror romp will make it all worth it.” – Polygon Oct 27, 2021 Full Review Jennifer's Body (2009) 47% EDIT “It's bleakly funny - campy and witty, like screenwriter Diablo Cody's previous hit Juno, but with gruesome turns that make it a perfect spooky season watch.” – Polygon Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Black Widow (2021) 79% 7/10 EDIT “While the film is plied with eye-catching action sequences, it struggles to strike a balance between action and family drama, and reinforces some of Marvel's tired tropes of women superheroes.” – IGN Movies Jun 29, 2021 Full Review Luca (2021) 91% 7/10 EDIT “Pixar's Luca may not be one of the animation studio's strongest efforts, but it's still a sweet summer getaway.” – IGN Movies Jun 16, 2021 Full Review Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) 93% 8/10 EDIT “Raya and the Last Dragon is a beautifully animated, action-packed hero's journey, and a great next evolution of Disney's modern-day princess films.” – IGN Movies Mar 2, 2021 Full Review To All the Boys: Always and Forever (2021) 79% 3/4 EDIT “This film is heavier than its predecessors. Falling in love is more fun to watch than trying to stay in love, and growing up can be tough.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 12, 2021 Full Review Mulan (2020) 72% EDIT “It might have been an excellent reinterpretation, were it not so heavy-handed and, well, Disney-fied. But what remains bears minimal discernible relationship to the original, while reading too much like a basic Marvel film.” – Salon.com Sep 4, 2020 Full Review The Half of It (2020) 97% 3/4 EDIT “It's refreshing to see a film that not only spotlights a queer Asian American woman but also treats her with such respect and tenderness.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 29, 2020 Full Review The Farewell (2019) 97% EDIT “All families are inscrutable in their own ways, and have their own forms of internal culture. It's rare for a film to be able to telegraph just one of these ideas -- and The Farewell stunningly achieves both.” – Vice Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Booksmart (2019) 96% EDIT “Booksmart leaves the impression that nothing that happened (or didn't happen) in those four years holds a candle to the strength of the friendship at the film's core.” – Vice May 24, 2019 Full Review Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019) 54% EDIT “...when it isn't fawning over Bundy's more humanistic moments, Extremely Wicked can feel like a heist film.” – Vice May 9, 2019 Full Review The Perfect Date (2019) 67% EDIT “Not even Noah Centineo can make this thing less generic.” – Vice Apr 18, 2019 Full Review The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley (2019) 78% EDIT “Our current, numerous retellings of the Theranos tale are just that-retellings. Just because her story is fascinating doesn't mean everyone can fascinatingly tell it, and our own versions have already become generic.” – Vice Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Captain Marvel (2019) 79% EDIT “It's fun in a predictable sort of way, suggesting a version of female empowerment where overthrowing pedantic men is a tool of heroic development, rather than an activity women do on a daily basis.” – Vice Mar 8, 2019 Full Review Mary Poppins Returns (2018) 79% EDIT “It's this attention to detail that makes Mary Poppins Returns sing. It exists within a very prescriptive formula, faithfully recreating the cinematic techniques of the time.” – Vice Dec 14, 2018 Full Review Burning (2018) 95% EDIT “The Murakami adaptation seethes and slithers and induces an incredible amount of dread.” – Vice Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Colette (2018) 87% EDIT “It is time for women to hold the pens that write history. Thank goodness that story has finally been brought to screen.” – Vice Sep 20, 2018 Full Review Crazy Rich Asians (2018) 91% EDIT “Crazy Rich Asians is a terrific rom-com, but is likely even more important for the potential it has to be the gateway to more nuanced films with Asian and Asian American representation.” – Vice Aug 17, 2018 Full Review To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018) 96% EDIT “Deftly highlights high school experiences that range from the fear of driving for the first time to the intimacy of a first make-out by making space for diversity without defining anyone by it.” – Vice Aug 17, 2018 Full Review The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) 86% EDIT “The movie's constant quietude, in the face of such noxious attacks feels aggressive. It really does speak volumes.” – Vice Aug 10, 2018 Full Review Ali Wong: Hard Knock Wife (2018) 100% EDIT “Wong unpacks the double standards of motherhood by leaning into the objectification of the female form in ways the patriarchy never intended, which is to say in ways that are utterly unsexual.” – Vice Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Ocean's 8 (2018) 69% EDIT “Ocean's 8 greatest triumph is the way it leans into the notion that women can pull off the ultimate con simply because they would never be suspects.” – Vice Jul 2, 2018 Full Review
