Men (2022) 69% EDIT “While it certainly isn’t for everyone, it does feel like required viewing, if only so it isn’t just we women who will walk home after the credits roll and take one more look behind us. Just to be sure, just to be safe.” – Nashville Scene May 18, 2022 Full Review The Worst Person in the World (2021) 96% EDIT “It all makes for a vulnerable portrait, one that fits well into director Joachim Triers so-called Oslo Trilogy, a loose collection of mood pieces that also includes 2006s Reprise and 2011s Oslo, August 31st. ” – Nashville Scene Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Bergman Island (2021) 84% EDIT “Bergman Island feels much like a carefully wrapped secret.” – Nashville Scene Oct 21, 2021 Full Review Mogul Mowgli (2020) 93% EDIT “Mogul Mowgli opts for a whole lot of metaphor, and that isn't a bad thing. When you explore your identity, your past, your family, it isn't ever straight and simple in your head - why should it be in a cinematic excavation?” – Nashville Scene Sep 16, 2021 Full Review Zola (2020) 88% EDIT “By its end, Zola feels like a hazy dream sequence, complete with a kitschy aesthetic - surreal in its storytelling and satisfying in its representation.” – Nashville Scene Sep 8, 2021 Full Review The Perfect Candidate (2019) 93% EDIT “[Haifaa al-Mansour's] connection to her home country shows - there's a familiarity to al-Mansour's lens.” – Nashville Scene Jun 7, 2021 Full Review I Care a Lot (2020) 79% EDIT “Despite her flaws and the fact that we now know Marla is a professional scammer, not only do I believe her words, but I feel invigorated by them. This is a woman I would follow into battle. The inevitable subject of a "run me over" meme.” – Bitch Media Feb 26, 2021 Full Review Minari (2020) 98% 4/4 EDIT “Minari is a gentle burn of a film. The loudest thing about it, in fact, is just how much of an American story it is.” – Nashville Scene Feb 12, 2021 Full Review Promising Young Woman (2020) 90% EDIT “Promising Young Woman, then, unabashedly offers the bitch-in-sheep's-clothing trope. In its intentionality, it works.” – Nashville Scene Jan 22, 2021 Full Review Sibyl (2019) 57% 1/4 EDIT “"...it's Efira and Exarchopoulos holding this movie up with their impassioned performances, like a bent and battered wire hanger struggling to support an oversized wool sweater"” – Nashville Scene Oct 12, 2020 Full Review Nothing Fancy: Diana Kennedy (2019) 100% EDIT “What Nothing Fancy manages is an intimate exploration of Kennedy's life, home and - most importantly - hunger, which is as ferocious as it was when she began her career many decades ago.” – Nashville Scene Jun 4, 2020 Full Review Saint Frances (2019) 99% EDIT “Saint Frances explores the ways in which women at all stages of life present one face to the world while hiding another...” – Nashville Scene Mar 24, 2020 Full Review Clemency (2019) 92% EDIT “The film lends Bernadine a kindness and tremendous understanding, particularly in regard to such controversial and complex subject matter.” – Nashville Scene Feb 22, 2020 Full Review Varda by Agnès (2019) 98% EDIT “The film is more a lesson on craft and doing things your own way than anything, and Varda gets fascinatingly specific.” – Nashville Scene Jan 17, 2020 Full Review Lucy in the Sky (2019) 21% EDIT “"While the film does grant its story some emotional gravitas, it gets lost in the existential crisis of it all."” – Nashville Scene Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Parasite (2019) 99% EDIT “A masterful commentary on class, Parasite issues a new guideline for contemporary horror.” – Nashville Scene Oct 25, 2019 Full Review The Farewell (2019) 97% EDIT “Almost every shot, most of them wide, encompasses the entire family and its myriad facial expressions. There's an emotional choreography to this film.” – Nashville Scene Aug 1, 2019 Full Review Peppermint (2018) 13% 1/5 EDIT “Every event, character trait and line is so cliché, it almost seems as though the movie wants to be a parody.” – National Post Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Puzzle (2018) 82% EDIT “Agnes never convincingly evolves. There's certainly something to be said for discovering you have an interior life and choosing to honour it. But despite a cute effort, Puzzle unfortunately seems to be missing that final piece.” – National Post Aug 10, 2018 Full Review The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018) 49% EDIT “Director and writer Susanna Fogel, she of fluff-with-an-edge material like Life Partners and Chasing Life, injects a feminist and fun feel to the action.” – National Post Aug 3, 2018 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) 98% EDIT “At 147 minutes, Fallout is the longest film in the series, but it manages to feel like the swiftest ride.” – National Post Jul 26, 2018 Full Review Beirut (2018) 81% EDIT “At just about two hours, Beirut is as much of a sprawling ruin as it believes the city once was or is.” – National Post Apr 13, 2018 Full Review Fifty Shades Freed (2018) 11% EDIT “While Christian and Ana remained handcuffed to the same spot, while also resisting its uncensored, campy potential, Fifty Shades has proven to be neither a great love story nor a rousing erotic romance. Shameless, indeed.” – National Post Feb 14, 2018 Full Review League of Exotique Dancers (2015) 83% 3/4 EDIT “The ways in which they reclaimed the feminine mystique and controlled the way they used their bodies serve for evergreen lessons for women on what it means to be proud of what you have and how you choose to use it.” – National Post May 20, 2016 Full Review A Bigger Splash (2015) 89% 3.5/4 EDIT “Awash as it is in sun-kissed skin and pastels, the entire film reeks of release, providing the kind of cinematic climax that may just rival whatever real life has to offer.” – National Post May 13, 2016 Full Review
