Alien: Romulus (2024) 80% EDIT “What sells the overall Alien: Romulus experience is the genuine authenticity of the cast itself.” – Vague Visages Aug 21, 2024 Full Review David Bowie: The Last Five Years (2017) 88% EDIT “Bowie was indeed a source of radiant energy and enlightenment. He evoked a sort of youthful high, instilling fans with the belief they could break out of their mundane lives and become better versions of themselves.” – Vague Visages Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Tenet (2020) 70% EDIT “With Tenet, Nolan evolves as a surrealist director, yet his writing style does not similarly advance.” – Vague Visages Feb 7, 2024 Full Review The Killing of Two Lovers (2020) 93% EDIT “How wonderful it is to watch a film in 2020 that displays style and true enthusiasm for the art of movie-making.” – Vague Visages Feb 6, 2024 Full Review The Killer (2023) 85% EDIT “Ultimately, The Killer is just a fun, pulpy romp that is more akin to the plug-and-play adventures of I.O. Interactive’s Hitman series than a profound statement on the culture at large.” – Vague Visages Nov 28, 2023 Full Review John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum (2019) 89% EDIT “Parabellum is a fun romp and continues the Greek/pulp mythology set up in John Wick: Chapter 2. In future installments, Stahelski might want to tone down the campiness, otherwise the series will lunge into self-parody.” – Vague Visages Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% EDIT “Not only does Oppenheimer prove to be one the best-crafted biopics in recent memory, but it also boldly reaffirms the director’s auteur status.” – Vague Visages Jul 29, 2023 Full Review Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 Sustainable War (2021) EDIT “Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 attempts to move the series into full octane action but pushes its philosophical roots to the side.” – Vague Visages Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Justice League (2017) 39% EDIT “Justice League is a mixed bag that's largely full of hot air.” – Vague Visages Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) 98% EDIT “WWhen it comes to sheer quantity of triple-crosses, double agents, remote control gizmo toys, one-liners, stunts and rubber mask fake outs, Mission: Impossible — Fallout outdoes its predecessors.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review The Old Man & the Gun (2018) 93% EDIT “Few actors are truly cross-generational in the manner media outlets make them out to be. Robert Redford, however, has earned this distinction.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Greyhound (2020) 78% EDIT “Greyhound’s inability to venture further into the depths of wartime psychology leaves it susceptible to being forgotten just as quickly as it emerged.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Good Time (2017) 91% EDIT “By exposing the falsehood of one’s presumption of power, the Safdies awaken viewers to the inescapable consequences of their actions and weaknesses, along with the vulnerability of their own fate.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Hell or High Water (2016) 97% EDIT “We live in a grey world, which is likely to become cloudier. We want to see good people succeed, “come hell or high water.”” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Cat People (1942) 92% EDIT “Director Tourneur utilizes the rich imagery of the King John legend and the Cat People throughout the film.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review The Neon Demon (2016) 59% EDIT “Refn provides a movie with universal appeal, displaying how pathetic and desperate human beings can be in their moments of weakness, insecurity and greed.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Ghost in the Shell (2017) 43% EDIT “Overall, Ghost in the Shell pales in comparison to the 1995 film by lacking a cohesive, well developed plot, substantive themes and a captivating pace.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Baby Driver (2017) 92% EDIT “With Baby Driver, Wright delivers a delightful, mid-summer cinematic treat.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Nocturnal Animals (2016) 74% EDIT “With great color, style and technique, Ford haunts the audience with the disappointments of our absurd world.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Alien: Covenant (2017) 65% EDIT “Another look at the power of creation and destruction.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review All the Money in the World (2017) 79% EDIT “Overall, All the Money in the World is a finely made crime caper that suggests Ridley Scott and Christopher Plummer remain in their prime.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Dunkirk (2017) 92% EDIT “I contend that not only has Nolan grown as an auteur, but that he has perfectly captured a universal truth to which all may relate and celebrate.” – Vague Visages Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Richard Jewell (2019) 77% EDIT “Its strong acting and character relationship dynamics are the main selling points, as Eastwood’s sense of direction and pacing are the best they have been in a long time.” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Mona Lisa (1986) 98% EDIT “Mona Lisa was ahead of its time, a precursor of urban fairy tales in late 90s British cinema.” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2023 Full Review The Green Knight (2021) 89% EDIT “Overall, The Green Knight’s impactful imagery and intensity outweigh its sometimes overly cryptic metaphors, allowing for quality entertainment. ” – Vague Visages Jun 5, 2023 Full Review
