Certain Women (2016) 92% EDIT “Like crossing paths with strangers in real life, I left my interactions with these women mulling over small details and wondering what remained unsaid.” – Bitch Media Feb 12, 2021 Full Review The Mask You Live In (2015) 67% EDIT “While it's sweeping in scope, the documentary does an admirable job explaining how our culture creates masculinity. It makes a point, too, to frame the conversation at the outset by differentiating sex and gender.” – Bitch Media Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Tomorrowland (2015) 49% EDIT “The much-hyped film itself feels overwhelmingly bland... I hope there are some young girls out there will take heart in seeing a heroic, science-loving teen girl onscreen. For everyone else, can I recommend staying home and reading Ursula Le Guin instead?” – Bitch Media Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Low Down (2014) 50% EDIT “It's disappointing that Low Down unspools toward the end, since the first half is filled with great characters and a smart script. Like Amy's character herself, the film is astute in some ways and overwhelmingly awkward in others.” – Bitch Media Jan 22, 2021 Full Review The Case Against 8 (2014) 91% EDIT “The film skillfully blends legalese with a humane portrait of the couples who are willing to fight the state for the right to wed.” – Bitch Media Jan 21, 2021 Full Review Under the Skin (2013) 83% EDIT “It does not develop a plot so much as a fascinating feeling of underlying horror.” – Bitch Media Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) 86% EDIT “The film is mostly a fun, sweet character study, but it's enjoyable flow is marred periodically by its own desire to be cool.” – Bitch Media Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Finding Vivian Maier (2013) 95% EDIT “Finding Vivian Maier never does not reveal much about the inner life of the woman at the center of the story, but it does a solid job of its more important mission: bringing Maier's rarely seen work to light.” – Bitch Media Jan 20, 2021 Full Review The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) 90% EDIT “It's mainstream entertainment, but it succeeds at being riveting and deeply unsettling mainstream entertainment that casts a critical light on our current systems.” – Bitch Media Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Wadjda (2012) 99% EDIT “Wadjda builds a complex portrait of a place and people around a simple story.” – Bitch Media Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Frances Ha (2012) 92% EDIT “A rare and wonderful film that give thanks for friends and revels in life's low times.” – Bitch Media Jan 15, 2021 Full Review City Baby (2013) EDIT “As Cloey and her friends meander between modeling auditions, pouty conversations, and half-hearted fashion designing, I want to shout at the protagonists, "Just try hard at something, already!"” – Bitch Media Jan 15, 2021 Full Review The Great Gatsby (2013) 49% EDIT “The film does nothing to beat against the current. There's no lesson that all this 1920s extravagance is problematic. The message is to party like a rock star and dress like a robber baron - just don't waste all your money chasing a woman who waffles.” – Bitch Media Jan 15, 2021 Full Review
