Film Critic

The Anarchists (TV Series) (2022)

Publish Date: July 11, 2022
"It’s not bad, but sometimes a six-part series ends up being ideal for viewers who have the approximate six hours to see past a project’s padding to a leaner, more purposeful version of its own story"

Chicago Tribune
Why Didn't They Ask Evans? (TV Miniseries) (2022)

Publish Date: May 3, 2022
"It's charming. It's a slyly comic romance as much as it is a yarn of cryptic last words and accumulating corpses (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey (TV Miniseries) (2022)

Publish Date: March 3, 2022
"A lot of what’s best about 'Ptolemy Grey' is pretty simple and consistently rewarding: the interplay between Jackson and Dominique Fishback"

Chicago Tribune
The Velvet Queen (2021)

Publish Date: January 20, 2022
"Beautiful if surprisingly gabby (...) Rating: *** (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Archive 81 (TV Series) (2022)

Publish Date: January 17, 2022
"'Archive 81' features a fine, bloody seance, one of its rare instances of gore (...) Shihabi and Athie, their eyes full of dread and wonder, are reason enough to watch (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Chicago Tribune
The 355 (2022)

Publish Date: January 6, 2022
"The cast? Not the problem. They save their own movie, here and there. The material might’ve gotten by with a different director; Kinberg, however, offers only frenetic mismanagement of the action scenes (…) Rating: ** (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021)

Publish Date: December 23, 2021
"Washington’s dramatic interpretation may be on the conventional side, but it has true authority and enough clarity of meaning to anchor the ensemble (…) Rating: ***½ (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Drive My Car (2021)

Publish Date: December 9, 2021
"One of the year’s finest films (...) [The actors] are so good, you’re simply grateful for their screen company (…) Rating: **** (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
West Side Story (2021)

Publish Date: December 8, 2021
"Steven Spielberg has crafted a ‘West Side Story’ better than the ‘61 movie, a real Hollywood musical (…) Rating: ***½ (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
The Humans (2021)

Publish Date: November 24, 2021
"Even when the material strains for a metaphysical layer of dread and wonder, each of the six performances reach a gratifying level of honesty (…) Rating: *** (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
House of Gucci (2021)

Publish Date: November 22, 2021
"The script does its job, dutifully (...) It’s tonally unsure, and the same, I think, can be said in this instance of Scott’s direction (…) Rating: **½ (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
King Richard (2021)

Publish Date: November 17, 2021
"I couldn’t shake the feeling the key Williamses were being marginalized in their own story (…) Rating: **½ (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Belfast (2021)

Publish Date: November 12, 2021
"I hope Branagh revisits his own life again on screen, just to see if he can come up with something as wonderful as 'Belfast' fans believe 'Belfast' to be (…) Rating: **½ (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Spencer (2021)

Publish Date: November 3, 2021
"There’s more than one way to dramatize the public/private schisms of celebrity, and this way feels right for this director, this actress and this movie (…) Rating: *** (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Dune (2021)

Publish Date: October 20, 2021
"Steadily, 'Dune' accumulates its gallery of amazements, with some genuine suspense in key sequences (…) Rating: *** (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Diana: The Musical (2021)

Publish Date: October 1, 2021
"It’s tolerable, I suppose, if you don’t have to listen to it. Unfortunately it’s a musical so you have to listen to it (…) Rating: * (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Cry Macho (2021)

Publish Date: September 15, 2021
"[It] may be fond and foolish in equal measure, but it has a few grace notes to remember [and] a fine gallery of images of Eastwood in silhouette, at dusk, against a big sky, alone with his thoughts (…) Rating: **½ (out of 5)"

Chicago Tribune
Candyman (2021)

Publish Date: August 25, 2021
"Sleek, brooding, methodical, thoughtful (...) Many will find DaCosta’s take on the story didactic, I suppose, or low on genre payoffs. I’m eager to see it a second time, flaws and all. It’s alive and awake to where we are now"

Chicago Tribune
The Green Knight (2021)

Publish Date: July 26, 2021
"Zingy and 'commercial' it’s not. 'The Green Knight' is too busy in its quest for quality, and surprise, to bend over backwards for a Marvel audience."

Chicago Tribune
Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)

Publish Date: July 14, 2021
"Even without a movie-saving Bill Murray around to fully save it, “Space Jam 2″ is a smoother, less grating experience than the first one"
