Freud's Last Session (2023) 43% 2/5 EDIT “It’s a relatively bloodless tit-for-tat conversation that shoots sparks that rarely catch fire. ” – Austin Chronicle Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Joan Baez I Am a Noise (2023) 94% 3/5 EDIT “But it’s the last half-hour’s revelation of the repressed emotions and memories uncovered in Baez’s midlife therapy sessions, accompanied by the voice and written correspondence of her late father, Albert, that will stick with you most...” – Austin Chronicle Jan 5, 2024 Full Review The Boy and the Heron (2023) 96% 4/5 EDIT “It’s all very Miyazaki, visually familiar and yet still capable of commanding a sense of awe.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 7, 2023 Full Review Priscilla (2023) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “Coppola’s deceptively languid directorial style perfectly suits her vision here. She doesn’t impose any overarching interpretation onto the film, but rather allows meaning to work its way into your consciousness.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 2, 2023 Full Review What Happens Later (2023) 51% 3/5 EDIT “A young audience may not fully appreciate the existential quandary the two principals face here. But those with a little more life under their belts will likely feel differently.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 1, 2023 Full Review Flora and Son (2023) 93% 3/5 EDIT “While Hewson’s splashier performance energizes the film, it’s Gordon-Levitt who gives Flora and Son its sweetness and light.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 28, 2023 Full Review Cassandro (2023) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “Williams and David Teague’s screenplay omits much of the trauma that marked the wrestler’s life, choosing to more subtly accentuate the positive and downplay the negative in a welcome antidote to toxic machismo showmanship.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 14, 2023 Full Review My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023) 31% 2/5 EDIT “If keeping faithful content is the objective here, why not just remake the 2002 movie over and over again, rather than pretending to attempt something new?” – Austin Chronicle Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Strays (2023) 54% 3/5 EDIT “Strays turns the bromide of man’s best friend on its ear.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 17, 2023 Full Review Theater Camp (2023) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Theater Camp may not qualify as a 24-carat enterprise, but when it occasionally shines, it glimmers with a love for the transformative magic of the stage.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 13, 2023 Full Review It Ain't Over (2022) 98% 4/5 EDIT “With the help of a slew of adoring talking heads, It Ain’t Over director Sean Mullin effortlessly validates his subject’s legendary career through the film's zeal to restore him to his proper place.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 6, 2023 Full Review L'immensità (2022) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “While the semi-autobiographical L’immensità is not directly based on his childhood, Crialese empathizes with the immensity of Andrea’s personal experience as someone who’s been there. Art reflecting life, life reflecting art.” – Austin Chronicle Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Book Club: The Next Chapter (2023) 46% 2/5 EDIT “Plays like soggy cereal.” – Austin Chronicle May 11, 2023 Full Review Chevalier (2022) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Chevalier succeeds in revealing the astounding life of a man to an audience unfamiliar with him.” – Austin Chronicle Apr 20, 2023 Full Review Mafia Mamma (2023) 21% 2.5/5 EDIT “It’s like someone’s always turning the knob in one direction, and then in another in Mafia Mamma, rarely settling on any mood with clear reception.” – Austin Chronicle Apr 13, 2023 Full Review Return to Seoul (2022) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “In her assured film debut as Freddie, [Ji-Min] Park holds your rapt attention. ” – Austin Chronicle Apr 6, 2023 Full Review Scream VI (2023) 77% 3/5 EDIT “This latest entry in the ongoing saga of Ghostface demonstrates its premise remains viable, though admittedly showing a few signs of calcification.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 9, 2023 Full Review Jesus Revolution (2023) 54% 2/5 EDIT “Nothing in this evangelical film about a short-lived religious movement taking root in late Sixties Southern California... is open to chance, much less to any interpretation other than an unequivocal One.” – Austin Chronicle Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Of an Age (2022) 88% 3/5 EDIT “On its own, it’s a nicely drawn vignette, tapping a palpable sense of desire between the two leads.” – Austin Chronicle Feb 16, 2023 Full Review Sharper (2023) 68% 3.5/5 EDIT “Sharper ticks so assuredly in execution the hitches won’t distract you – and that may be the biggest con of all.” – Austin Chronicle Feb 9, 2023 Full Review Plane (2023) 78% 3/5 EDIT “It ain’t Shakespeare, but if the bread-and-butter movies of Butler’s career were as compactly entertaining and as plausible (granted, a relative term) as Plane, he might get a little more respect.” – Austin Chronicle Jan 12, 2023 Full Review Women Talking (2022) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “Polley keeps things moving at a good pace as the looming deadline creates tension. ” – Austin Chronicle Dec 22, 2022 Full Review Leonor Will Never Die (2022) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Although its ambitions often exceed its reach, the meta-mad Filipino film Leonor Will Never Die bursts with imaginative impulses, scoring slightly more hits than misses.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 1, 2022 Full Review Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Pinocchio thrives on a storytelling imagination that thinks outside the box.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 17, 2022 Full Review Till (2022) 96% 3/5 EDIT “What distinguishes Till from most other well-intentioned films telling similarly themed stories set during this tumultuous era of American history is the absence of white saviors. ” – Austin Chronicle Oct 27, 2022 Full Review
