Watcher (2022) |
Watcher is moody, tense, and surprisingly effective as a slow-burn horror indie. - Vogue

Fresh (2022) |
Edgar-Jones’s Noa taps hidden reserves of pluck as she fights for her survival against her deranged captor. She’s a horror heroine you root for all the way to the bloody end. - Vogue

Navalny (2022) |
The other reason to go see Navalny in a theater, if you can, is for its sheer entertainment value, to be properly immersed in the suspenseful story Roher is telling -- recent history and scarcely believable if this were a Jason Bourne sequel. - Vogue

Bergman Island (2021) |
Bergman Island feels an especially poignant exercise for [Hansen-Løve], examining both what it means to be inspired and how, for a certain kind of creative, making art means exploring the past, present, fantasy, and reality all at the same time. - Vogue

Nomadland (2020) |
Frances McDormand is in an acting class of her own, able to communicate worry, resilience, loneliness, and the opposite -- with a subtle gesture, a shift of expression, a set gaze. - Vogue

The Invisible Man (2020) |
Yes, Adrian appears in his optics suit during the climactic finale, but Moss is the one who dominates every scene. This is her story: a story of trauma and what it means to not be believed, and there's not a breath of exploitation on screen. - Vogue

The Irishman (2019) |
It's pretty nimble for such a behemoth and can be extremely funny; Pacino is just a scenery-chewing riot as Hoffa. - Vogue

Ad Astra (2019) |
Pitt, at 55, is so companionable, so grounded and resolute, that spending two hours with him is like leaning comfortably against a cool slab of granite. - Vogue

The Report (2019) |

The Perfection (2018) |
The Perfection, isn't great cinema. Far from it. But Allison Williams and Logan Browning's cellists-on-a-rampage horror film is also impossible not to careen all the way to the end of-jaw dropped, sort of not quite believing what you're seeing. - Vogue

Hold the Dark (2018) |
This is unlike any movie I've seen in some time, an art film that takes risks at every turn, and if Netflix is in the business of financing risk-taking, god bless them. - Vogue

Anon has a harebrained plot, scene after scene of actors staring blankly into space (scrolling through their enhanced vision), zero romantic chemistry between the two leads, and a twist of an ending that makes you shrug. - Vogue
