Alex Edelman: Just For Us (2024) 3.5/4 EDIT “With his first HBO special, the writer-comedian disarmingly balances satire, straight comedy, and old-fashioned pathos.” – Slant Magazine Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Friends: The Reunion (2021) 67% 2.5/4 EDIT “The special feels like a missed opportunity to see the characters we've grown to know so well over the past 25 years truly come back to life.” – Slant Magazine May 27, 2021 Full Review Triple Frontier (2019) 71% 1.5/4 EDIT “J.C. Chandor turns an intensely physical narrative into another of his inadvertently generic studies of procedure.” – Slant Magazine Mar 15, 2019 Full Review Mother, May I Sleep With Danger? (2016) 64% 3/4 EDIT “Mother, May I Sleep with Danger? miraculously doesn't buckle under the self-serious weight of its myriad references.” – Slant Magazine Jun 17, 2016 Full Review Rubble Kings (2015) 73% 2.5/4 EDIT “It fails to go deep enough, suggesting an appetizer offered as an opening to an ultimately unserved meal.” – Slant Magazine Jun 15, 2015 Full Review Thank You, Mr. President: Helen Thomas at the White House (2008) 2/4 EDIT “There's nothing provocative about a documentary that, unlike its subject, refuses to ask tough questions or dig below the surface.” – Slant Magazine May 21, 2015 Full Review Last Days of Left Eye (2007) 3.5/4 EDIT “Last Days of Left Eye illuminates much more than just the final days of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes's life.” – Slant Magazine May 21, 2015 Full Review I.O.U.S.A. (2008) 87% 2/4 EDIT “It's too bad Creadon breezes through potential solutions to the problem and ends his film with what basically amounts to a Rock the Vote ad.” – Slant Magazine Aug 20, 2008 Full Review Kurt Cobain About a Son (2006) 74% 3/4 EDIT “AJ Schnack's Kurt Cobain: About a Son is as gripping and revealing as Gus Van Sant's Last Days was hollow and pointless.” – Slant Magazine Mar 1, 2008 Full Review Along Came Polly (2004) 27% 2.5/4 EDIT “Not since that famous tussle with Cameron Diaz's dog in There's Something About Mary has Stiller connected so agreeably with a costar.” – Slant Magazine Jan 12, 2004 Full Review Anything Else (2003) 40% 2/4 EDIT “Anything Else simply dresses its young stars up like over-the-hill geeks and stuffs their mouths with ten-dollar words.” – Slant Magazine Sep 15, 2003 Full Review Thirteen (2003) 81% 3/4 EDIT “And just as it did with Kids, the media will (and already has) trumpet warnings from the mountaintops that the film should be taken as a wake-up call to parents.” – Slant Magazine Sep 5, 2003 Full Review Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) 96% EDIT “The film provides both slap-stick humor for kids and clever satire and social commentary for adults.” – Slant Magazine Mar 16, 2003 Full Review Sweet Home Alabama (2002) 39% 2/4 EDIT “It's no surprise that Reese Witherspoon's headlong jump into romantic comedy doesn't live up to classic or modern date movie standards.” – Slant Magazine Sep 25, 2002 Full Review Life or Something Like It (2002) 28% EDIT “Jolie carries the weight of an oft-predictable plot on her fuscia Dolce & Gabanna heels.” – Slant Magazine Apr 24, 2002 Full Review The Sweetest Thing (2002) 25% EDIT “Christina and Courtney's antics are straight out of "Three's Company," only Chrissy is not as dumb and Janet is a whore.” – Slant Magazine Apr 10, 2002 Full Review William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (1996) 74% EDIT “Purists may scoff, but the film is faithful to the Bard and its makers are thoroughly cognizant of the famous story's layers.” – Slant Magazine Mar 29, 2002 Full Review Safe (1995) 88% EDIT “Todd Haynes' enviro-disease masterpiece Safe might just be the most terrifying film of the last decade.” – Slant Magazine Feb 22, 2002 Full Review
