You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023) |

Theater Camp (2023) |
It’s weird and wonderful and probably going to be a comfort rewatch for many years to come. - Pajiba

Extraction 2 (2023) |
Despite the generic plot, derivative action scenes, and the other issues I raised above, that 21-minute scene, man. If Hargrave can keep giving us things that work like that, I’ll sit through all the rest. - Pajiba

White Men Can't Jump (2023) |
The new White Men Can’t Jump is not a terrible movie; it is a flat nothing. It’s not a good sports movie, nor is it a good comedy. It’s just an unfunny thing that viewers will likely forget about before they even get to the credits. - Pajiba

The Pope's Exorcist (2023) |
Congrats to Mr. Crowe, who joins the pantheon of bad accent movies which runs the gamut from Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves all the way right back to Russell Crowe and his own Robin Hood. - Pajiba

The Herricanes (2023) |
It’s the perfect kind of documentary, introducing you to something you likely have never heard of, rooting it in current-day matters, with a host of compelling and interesting talking heads - Pajiba

No Ordinary Campaign (2022) |
Director Christopher Burke does a good job of doling out just enough information for the viewer to understand what needs to be understood while keeping the focus on the people - Pajiba

Join or Die (2023) |
While the talking heads run the gamut from politicians to scientists to community organizers, among others, the Davises deftly provide enough story to let us understand the topic without getting lost in it - Pajiba

Who I Am Not (2023) |
I found myself equal parts delighted and heartbroken and eager after the fact to learn more. - Pajiba

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) |
Impressively, filmmakers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein shed the baggage and thread the needle, delivering a mostly fun, though slightly bloated, fantasy adventure. - Pajiba

The Arc of Oblivion (2023) |
Cheney wisely keeps the mood light and the film moving. The Arc of Oblivion is not the kind of documentary that poses questions that are easy to answer, and it smartly does not even try to answer them. How can it? - Pajiba

We Feed People (2022) |
What We Feed People is a stark reminder that for every cynical politician who continues to fail us, there is someone else out here doing the work and making a difference. - Pajiba

To Leslie (2022) |
Riseborough never resorts to caricature, an easy trap to fall into especially when Leslie is at her lowest and most heinous. - Pajiba

It's Quieter in the Twilight (2022) |
Things go a bit sideways and we viewers suddenly find ourselves actively rooting for this beautiful, dumb, and amazing little hunk of metal that is so very far away. How it plays out is almost beside the point. - Pajiba

Sell/Buy/Date (2022) |
In this instance, some version of Buy/Sell/Date that was a more standard documentary would have been more interesting and compelling. - Pajiba

Free Guy (2021) |
I say this with all sincerity: More than anything, Free Guy now has me craving a really good rom-com with Comer in the lead. - Pajiba

WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn (2021) |
The new documentary WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn exposes the complete bullsh*t, like the Theranos exposés before it, and helps us understand why many companies never live up to their "valuations." - Pajiba

Hysterical (2021) |
Dedicated "to all the women who ever braved the stage," Hysterical is a refreshing look at the world of stand-up comedy from the women's point of view. - Pajiba

Frances Ferguson (2019) |
Despite my unsettled discomfort with this issue, and despite knowing better and wanting more from the film and myself... I still kind of love this movie. - Pajiba

Museum Town (2019) |
The film doesn't really dig in and get its hands dirty, even though it had time to do so with a running time of less than 90 minutes. - Pajiba

Porno (2019) |
Porno is not a good movie... [But] Porno is exactly the kind of movie I used to love watching with friends, drunk at 1 in the morning, as part of a bad movie marathon. - Pajiba

Win It All (2017) |
Win It All has a wonderful lived-in tone and style, thanks to how Swanberg films and edits his movies. It's tense, funny, well-structured and carried by strong performances. And yet, there is something off about it. - Pajiba

The State Within (2006) |
Six hours may be a lot to invest at one time for a show, but once you start watching, you're really going to want to have all six hours at your immediate beck and call, as you'll find it hard to patiently wait for what comes next. - Pajiba

Blindspotting (2018) |
There aren't enough superlatives I can throw at this film. It's funny and tense, honest and insightful, and painfully prescient. At the end of the day, this movie awed me. - Pajiba

Outside In (2017) |
This film belongs to Shelton and Falco, and it's great to see two women just so on top of their game, showing everyone how it's done. - Pajiba
