The Lodge (2019) 75% EDIT “I am not sure The Lodge is more than a system of scares, barely holding together: I don't think the movie satisfies.” – The New Republic Feb 7, 2020 Full Review The Assistant (2019) 93% EDIT “It's a patient, deliberate, and chilling film, a damning indictment of the power structures that define so much of American life.” – The New Republic Feb 1, 2020 Full Review Like a Boss (2020) 22% EDIT “I'm overthinking, but even bad art can tell us something about ourselves. At this point, we understand how business works. Why aim for the glass ceiling at all?” – The New Republic Jan 22, 2020 Full Review Clemency (2019) 92% EDIT “I hate the amateur quarterbacking I'm about to engage in, but that [Woodard's] performance did not merit an Academy Award nomination is damning.” – The New Republic Jan 17, 2020 Full Review Les misérables (2019) 88% EDIT “You might call these the slums, but the film is not slumming. The drone itself is a player in this work, and an overhead shot of a ragtag outdoor bazaar reveals the place's startling geometry.” – The New Republic Jan 15, 2020 Full Review Cats (2019) 19% EDIT “You might still want to know if it's a good movie, but that is the wrong question. Cats is sui generis.” – The New Republic Dec 26, 2019 Full Review Richard Jewell (2019) 77% EDIT “Richard Jewell is an accomplishment in reminding us that the man was, after all, a hero. The film is a failure in making any larger point.” – The New Republic Dec 23, 2019 Full Review Charlie's Angels (2019) 52% EDIT “More discouraging than the fact that it got remade is the fact that the story's moral hasn't changed one bit since Diaz, Barrymore, and Liu were the ones telling it. At least that movie had a catchy song by Destiny's Child.” – The New Republic Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator (2019) 96% EDIT “Even though Choudhury's crimes are a matter of record, Yogi, Guru, Predator is very damning.” – The New Republic Nov 21, 2019 Full Review The Kingmaker (2019) 97% EDIT “The Kingmaker is a terrifying film.” – The New Republic Nov 15, 2019 Full Review Honey Boy (2019) 94% EDIT “In Alma Har'el's film, Shia LeBeouf mines his own life-and reminds us how gifted an actor he is.” – The New Republic Nov 7, 2019 Full Review The Dreamers (2003) 59% EDIT “The Dreamers is not particularly well acted or well written, so it comes as a surprise that the movie itself is good - beautifully art-directed and with a pitch-perfect soundtrack.” – Flak Magazine Jun 2, 2018 Full Review
