The Ascent (1977) 100% EDIT “Larisa Shepitko’s 1977 film The Ascent remains a crowning achievement like no other.” – Film Inquiry Mar 1, 2022 Full Review Army Of The Dead (2021) 68% EDIT “While the film's atmosphere is terrifically structured, it's too robust for a story as thin as this, and as a result, the movie falls flat during moments where it should be soaring.” – Film Inquiry May 21, 2021 Full Review Malcolm & Marie (2021) 57% EDIT “Malcolm & Marie isn't a terrible film by any means, but it's undoubtedly a bewildering mess that collapses under its own weight due to astounding impotence for itself and the audience.” – Film Inquiry Jan 30, 2021 Full Review The Midnight Sky (2020) 49% EDIT “Ultimately, this was a promising movie that, had it focused on the more compelling elements of its narrative, could've delivered an introspective look, but unfortunately chose to shift its course in a less interesting direction.” – Film Inquiry Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Crash (1996) 65% EDIT “Crash isn't perfect, but it's always interesting and investing enough to make up for the holes in its execution.” – Film Inquiry Dec 10, 2020 Full Review Mank (2020) 83% EDIT “It's an immaculate return to the fold from Fincher, and undoubtedly one of the best films of the year.” – Film Inquiry Dec 5, 2020 Full Review Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) 83% EDIT “It's just such a joyful rarity to watch a late entry in a franchise that feels like a worthwhile addition to the universe, one that cherishes its characters' legacies and pays respect to them in lovely ways.” – Film Inquiry Sep 15, 2020 Full Review Spree (2020) 65% EDIT “We need more filmmakers in the industry who are able to tackle deep, complex subjects like this with such humorous grace while still retaining the dark elements at the core of this story, and Kotlyarenko definitely succeeded in that respect.” – Film Inquiry Aug 18, 2020 Full Review She Dies Tomorrow (2020) 84% EDIT “It was undeniably ambitious and fascinating enough to sustain my attention, but not nearly to the degree other modern horror films have been.” – Film Inquiry Aug 6, 2020 Full Review Bloodshot (2020) 32% EDIT “Bloodshot attempts to do something different, but retains so many of the clichés its predecessors have befallen to.” – Film Inquiry Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) 97% EDIT “It's hard to call Sciamma's vision anything short of a triumph on nearly every level. It starts off as enticing and mysterious, but quickly transports the viewer into an even deeper stupor of romance.” – Film Inquiry Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Waves (2019) 84% EDIT “Waves is, simply put, the greatest film of the year. Everything Shults has crafted before has built to this, a magnum opus of brutal emotional devastation and healing amelioration.” – Film Inquiry Oct 30, 2019 Full Review The Truth (2019) 87% EDIT “It doesn't completely stick the landing, but it's worth viewing, and Kore-eda shows tremendous future potential if he wishes to continue expanding outside of Japanese cinema.” – Film Inquiry Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Ad Astra (2019) 83% EDIT “Ad Astra is not without its flaws, but Gray's science-fiction endeavor is ultimately one of the best films of the year.” – Film Inquiry Oct 1, 2019 Full Review The Lion King (2019) 52% EDIT “It's a surprisingly efficient remake that acts as both a touching tribute to its predecessor and a breathtaking standalone epic in its own right.” – Film Inquiry Jul 23, 2019 Full Review Missing Link (2019) 88% EDIT “Sweet, charming, and beautifully unique, Missing Link deserves only the highest praise.” – Film Inquiry Apr 17, 2019 Full Review
