Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) 85% A EDIT “Weird is an unapologetically ridiculous and over-the-top romp that’s sold by people who are completely, sincerely, and unfailingly committed to the bit on every level. ” – Consequence Sep 23, 2022 Full Review The Whale (2022) 64% C- EDIT “Despite the best efforts of the stars involved, The Whale is a specular failure of empathy, that prattles on about truth for almost two hours… but offers little more than shadows on a cave wall.” – Consequence Sep 16, 2022 Full Review Drive My Car (2021) 97% EDIT “It's a superb piece of filmmaking, every bit as confounding and yet relatable as the human experience.” – The Spool Sep 20, 2021 Full Review The Forgiven (2021) 68% EDIT “Ultimately, the biggest flaw in The Forgiven is that it's largely told from its least interesting perspectives.” – The Spool Sep 20, 2021 Full Review Belfast (2021) 86% EDIT “Written, performed, and captured with measured grace, Belfast packs an emotional punch so subtle and slow-burning that you might not recognize its power until it's already gutted you.” – The Spool Sep 17, 2021 Full Review Dear Evan Hansen (2021) 28% EDIT “Nothing clicks. No punchlines land. No emotional revelation resonates.” – The Spool Sep 14, 2021 Full Review Titane (2021) 90% EDIT “In the followup to her sensational and literally faint-inducing debut, Raw, Ducournau has significantly upped the ante and created a film exponentially more brutal, beautiful, borderline unbearable, and absolutely brilliant.” – The Spool Sep 14, 2021 Full Review Just Mercy (2019) 85% B- EDIT “Just Mercy celebrates some real-life heroes who are still making a difference. It might not be to everyone's taste, or everyone's politics, but this flawed albeit powerful film is worthy of your time and consideration.” – Consequence Sep 16, 2019 Full Review The Laundromat (2019) 42% C EDIT “Regardless of its seemingly admirable intent and ambition, The Laundromat is not a good film. It's sloppy, and self-indulgent, and in no way worthy of the self-satisfaction it brings to its big conclusion.” – Consequence Sep 14, 2019 Full Review Joker (2019) 68% C EDIT “There's probably a lot of fanfiction out there that's far more innovative, provocative, profane, incisive, and effective than Joker.” – Consequence Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Color Out of Space (2019) 86% C+ EDIT “With its wacky space shit, off-kilter gore, creepy atmospherics, and hammy breakdown, most of which happen all at the same time, Colour Out of Space is, inarguably, one hell of a trip. It's just not a trip that everyone is going to enjoy taking.” – Consequence Sep 10, 2019 Full Review Parasite (2019) 99% A EDIT “There are at least three perfectly good films squeezed into Parasite's 131 minutes. The way Bong Joon-ho weaves them together, without ever slipping into self-indulgence or excess, is nothing short of masterful.” – Consequence Sep 7, 2019 Full Review Assassination Nation (2018) 74% B- EDIT “I might not be able to tell you what exactly Assassination Nation is, but the one thing I can confidently say is that it's not easy to forget or dismiss.” – Consequence Sep 18, 2018 Full Review High Life (2018) 83% B+ EDIT “High Life is, at its lost and searching heart, every bit as stark and remote as its ship appears while suspended in the darkest reaches of space.” – Consequence Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Mid90s (2018) 81% A- EDIT “With a tender heart and clear eyes, Hill has managed to take us back for a wincing but charming look at two very awkward ages.” – Consequence Sep 14, 2018 Full Review First Man (2018) 87% B EDIT “Armstrong's stoicism is treated as one facet of a complete, complicated human being, as opposed to the defining hallmark of a one-dimensional American hero.” – Consequence Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Roma (2018) 96% B+ EDIT “By capturing and exploring Cleo's individual life with such vision and thoughtfulness, he has managed to piece together a sweeping interpretation of life itself.” – Consequence Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Widows (2018) 91% A- EDIT “It is both a McQueen drama and a McQueen experiment, and the balance between the two is almost flawless.” – Consequence Sep 11, 2018 Full Review If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) 95% A EDIT “It's a film so clearly made with passion, devotion, and love that it inspires the same in those who watch it and become absorbed by it.” – Consequence Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Destroyer (2018) 74% B EDIT “Destroyer is almost impossible to ignore. Love it or hate it, it will still leave an impression and it will undoubtedly inspire discussion.” – Consequence Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Halloween (2018) 79% C+ EDIT “It's decent. It has its moments. It's enjoyable enough as supplementary material. It's arguably better than some of the other attempts to capitalize on the success of the original 1978 John Carpenter classic. It's just not quite a good film in of itself.” – Consequence Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Fahrenheit 11/9 (2018) 82% B+ EDIT “It never allows viewers to take too much solace in a joke, or the delicate seedlings of change that have started to blossom nationwide.” – Consequence Sep 8, 2018 Full Review Climax (2018) 69% B- EDIT “As a parade of exaggerated neon-soaked atrocities, Climax is certainly never boring, but it often strains credulity where it aims to provoke genuine discomfort.” – Consequence Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Jane (2017) 98% A EDIT “On almost every level, in almost every way, Jane is an exemplary work of documentation, storytelling, and filmmaking.” – Consequence Oct 19, 2017 Full Review I Love You, Daddy (2017) 37% C EDIT “By the time that Glen is flippantly apologizing to "all women," it's clear that neither he nor his creator intend to take their world anywhere new, let alone shocking.” – Consequence Sep 18, 2017 Full Review
