Film Critic

Revenge (2017)

Publish Date: March 30, 2018
"It’s an impressive film in many ways, but the fact that this is Fargeat’s first movie is truly staggering (...) Fargeat’s visuals are stunning."

Pin Cushion (2017)

Publish Date: March 29, 2018
"Haywood brilliantly subverts her audience’s expectations at every step of the way (...) It ushers in a new voice in cinema worth listening to"

The Playlist
All I Wish (2017)

Publish Date: March 20, 2018
"There’s no sustained conflict in 'All I Wish' (...) The stakes are very low, the central couple lacks requisite chemistry, and the birthday-structure does not allow for a coherent romance narrative."

The Playlist
The Ranger (2018)

Publish Date: March 19, 2018
"All in all, a game cast and a talented writer-director elevate this confused slasher flick above its generic blandness"

The Playlist
Josie (2018)

Publish Date: March 14, 2018
"It’s awful at every level. Characters do things that make no logical or ethical sense (...) Kudos to Turner and McDermott for going the eccentric indie route (...) but man, 'Josie' is a dud."

The Playlist
Heathers (TV Series) (2018)

Publish Date: February 27, 2018
"It’s not good, not really (...) 'Heathers' occasionally lands an inspired piece of writing (...) [It] suffers from repeated, indulgent repetition"

The Playlist
The Cured (2017)

Publish Date: February 21, 2018
"'The Cured' is a serviceable enough — if extremely, disappointingly predictable — addition to the subgenre."

The Playlist
Looking Glass (2018)

Publish Date: February 14, 2018
"'Looking Glass' practically begs you, from minute one, to imagine what would have been, had it been directed by a more confident auteur (...) It’s not good"

The Playlist
A Translator (2018)

Publish Date: January 20, 2018
"An underwhelming drama (...) While the intentions behind “Un Taductor” were admirable, there’s just not much to recommend here"

The Playlist
1945 (2017)

Publish Date: November 1, 2017
"The film’s climactic anti-climax is well done (...) Török clearly has a lot on his mind about guilt and honor and forgiveness (...) It’s far from a perfect, or even great"

The Playlist
Creep 2 (2017)

Publish Date: October 25, 2017
"One of the better horror sequels of recent memory (...) [Brice's] direction is flawless here (...) Akhavan is perfect in this"

The Playlist
Literally, Right Before Aaron (2017)

Publish Date: September 25, 2017
"A strange, tonally confused romcom (...) Characters make a lot of absurdly dumb decisions in this movie."

The Playlist
Kissing Candice (2017)

Publish Date: September 13, 2017
"Genuinely compelling imagery paired with a nonsensically told narrative (...) 'Kissing Candice' is compelling in its first two acts (...) The third act, however, goes fully and totally off the rails"

The Playlist
Euthanizer (2017)

Publish Date: September 11, 2017
"Teemu Nikki has successfully created a cinematic metaphor for contemporary world politics, one that is full of unexpected plot developments and a surprisingly thoughtful take on personal morality."

The Playlist
The Price of Success (2017)

Publish Date: September 8, 2017
"The performances are all quite good (...) Cliché showbiz plot points and a lack of proper character development (...) doom 'The Price of Success' to weightlessness"
