Wicked
(2024)
|
Ephie Cozza
|
Honors the source material while charting new creative terrain—and is perhaps the greatest musical adaptation to date.

It Ends With Us
(2024)
|
Ephie Cozza
|
Despite its over 2-hour runtime, It Ends With Us rushes through the plot, barely allowing enough time to process or feel Lily's trauma.

MaXXXine
(2024)
|
Ephie Cozza
|
Not quite as scary or visceral as the previous two films, "Maxxxine" remains a fun, dark and twisted odyssey of persevering through trauma and the brutality of Hollywood, cementing Ti West as one of the most visionary directors in contemporary horror.

Back to Black
(2024)
|
Ephie Cozza
|
"Back to Black" reads like a cheap tabloid piece, reducing Amy Winehouse's life to sensationalized headlines and exploiting her struggles for a cash grab.

A weird and wacky ride that reminds us of the magic found in embracing the unconventional.

Oppenheimer
(2023)
|
Ephie Cozza
|
For a movie about the atomic bomb, the quiet stillness of Nolan’s 'Oppenheimer' is the most haunting.

Barbie
(2023)
|
Ephie Cozza
|
Barbie’s plastic exterior turns out to be extraordinarily human, turning a doll with unrealistic beauty standards that young girls could never relate to into someone every single woman can relate to.

I went to see this with my boyfriend's 9-year-old brother, and watching the pure joy on his face made me fall in love with this film.

Scream VI
(2023)
|
Ephie Cozza
|
Scream VI is one of the best in the franchise. Undoubtedly the scariest entry yet, about as meta as it gets, with witty humor on par with the original.

Nope

To say I was horrified isn’t quite the right word, but Nope gave me that queasy, funny feeling only Peele knows how to create.

Fresh
(2022)
|
Ephie Cozza
|
Fresh is about the horrors of dating as a young woman...that itching feeling that something could go wrong, the urge to text someone the address, and the imaginary escape route planned while feigning a smile.

Babylon
(2022)

Babylon is not inherently “bad,” but for better or worse, it is a gaudy, brash display of the self-masturbatory nature of the film industry.

The Na’vi aren’t just “fighting the good fight” this time around. Avatar: The Way of Water is about perseverance, loyalty, and the lengths they go to keep their family safe.
