C
Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Kyle Kizu It's tough to hate Thor: Ragnarok, as the film is beautiful to look at and one of the funnier entries in the MCU. But it's more difficult to love it.

B
Darkest Hour (2017) Kyle Kizu Delbonnel's cinematography is particularly striking ... there's a persistent haze that's as equally eerie as it is strangely invigorating.

B
Good Time (2017) Kyle Kizu Good Time represents a shift for [Pattinson], who turns in his best and most singular performance in this gritty underbelly thriller from the Safdie brothers.

A-
Columbus (2017) Kyle Kizu The story centers heavily around architecture, and Kogonada and cinematographer Elisha Christian, craft still-frames ... that feel like pieces of architecture themselves.

C+
The Glass Castle (2017) Kyle Kizu The story is about imperfection, in person and in family, so if the film is imperfect, it can be forgiven.

A
The Florida Project (2017) Kyle Kizu The film never exploits its characters' lives, but simply understands them and, in turn, portrays them both sensitively and candidly.

B-
Gerald's Game (2017) Kyle Kizu Despite being set almost entirely in one room, Gerald's Game turns out to be a deeply visual and physical film.

C-
The Greatest Showman (2017) Kyle Kizu The music never really plants itself in viewers' minds as each piece feels overdone and jarringly anachronistic.

C+
American Made (2017) Kyle Kizu Cruise, sporting a Southern accent, is magnetic, a presence with gravity, one that drives the energy of each scene.

B
Battle of the Sexes (2017) Kyle Kizu Emma Stone and Steve Carell are both absolutely dynamic as King and Riggs.

A-
Hostiles (2017) Kyle Kizu So much of Hostiles works, and sticks with us long after we've left the theater, because of how quiet and subtle it all is.

B+
Our Souls at Night (2017) Kyle Kizu Neustadter and Weber's dialogue is simultaneously a showcase of naturalism and of calculated specificity. Nothing is over-explained or overstated. Nothing seems written.

F
Death Note (2017) Kyle Kizu [Death Note] shamefully uses Japan and Japanese people at its convenience.
Posted Oct 31, 2018  Edit critic review
B+
The Shape of Water (2017) Kyle Kizu The visuals are stunning ... but those visuals are even more memorable because of the tone of empathy that del Toro injects into it all.
Posted Oct 31, 2018  Edit critic review
B
The Post (2017) Kyle Kizu The Post wants to make sure viewers confront its themes directly and explicitly rather than allow the subtlety of the progressing narrative to seep into them.

B
Chappaquiddick (2017) Kyle Kizu [Chappaquiddick] undoubtedly rests on the shoulders of Jason Clarke, and Clarke turns in one of his finest performances.

B+
Molly's Game (2017) Kyle Kizu Chastain manages the tricky balancing act of channeling the spark of Sorkin's dialogue while also shaping a character that feels naturally lived in.
Posted Oct 31, 2018  Edit critic review
A
Phantom Thread (2017) Kyle Kizu [Phantom Thread] is deliciously hilarious in its nastiness, especially when blurted with full pompous force by Daniel Day-Lewis.
