Fast X (2023)
Publish Date: May 16, 2023
"'Fast X' has enough joyful self-awareness that resistance becomes futile. At a certain point, it feels better to give in and smile (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

The Guardian
Better Call Saul (TV Series) (2015)
Publish Date: August 14, 2022
"[6th Season, Final Chapter]: an ending for Jimmy that’s hopeful and authentic without feeling rosy or unearned"

Vulture
Bob's Burgers: The Movie (2022)
Publish Date: May 24, 2022
"As much as Bouchard had to think about how to turn 'Bob's Burgers' into a movie, he insists on staying true to the personal eccentricities and small-scale observational humor that makes the show great (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

The Guardian
Rocky IV (1985)
Publish Date: November 11, 2021
"Stallone realized he'd exhausted the formula and handed over the reins to 'Rocky V' in an effort to rediscover the character's lost soul. It didn't work. And it doesn't work for unsalvageable 'Rocky IV' (…) Rating: ** (out of 5)"

The Guardian
The Auschwitz Report (2021)
Publish Date: September 20, 2021
"The film is a powerful reminder never to underestimate the historical evils that have been, and could again be, unleashed."

Variety
Nightbooks (2021)
Publish Date: September 14, 2021
"Its whimsical touches, along with a reverence for creative young minds, gives the film a warmth that counterbalances its shocks."

Variety
The Howling (1981)
Publish Date: April 8, 2021
"Joe Dante’s sly and smart breakout, about a reporter uncovering a colony of werewolves, was a fun ride that had space for satire"

The Guardian
Braindead (1992)
Publish Date: February 28, 2021
"After you see it, you want to race out of the theater and recommend it to your sickest friends right away"

AV Club
Dressed to Kill (1980)
Publish Date: July 24, 2020
"[It] feels much more modern [than 'Psycho'], as do the performances, which have a naturalistic quality that hadn’t completely asserted itself in 1960. And yet the film is also disconcertingly retrograde"

The Guardian
Highball (1997)
Publish Date: December 8, 2019
"The film plays like a crude rough draft of the much richer career that followed (...) A better-than-average version of the people-hanging-out-in-a-Brooklyn-apartment genre of no-budget indie comedies"

Vulture
Drugstore Cowboy (1989)
Publish Date: October 17, 2019
"A pointillist slice-of-life that feels absolutely true to these characters and to the mindsets and realities of others like them"

The Guardian
Heimat Is a Space in Time (2019)
Publish Date: September 11, 2019
"The overall effect of Heise’s work is mesmeric, persuasive and cumulatively powerful, as each piece of the puzzle falls into place"

Variety
And We Go Green (2019)
Publish Date: September 9, 2019
"It’s the type of engaging-but-shallow sports doc that pops up frequently on streaming services"

Variety
Heroic Losers (2019)
Publish Date: September 6, 2019
"Borensztein has turned Argentina’s devastating early-2000s financial crisis into the sort of generous, cathartic entertainment that his characters might enjoy"

Variety
Zombi Child (2019)
Publish Date: September 6, 2019
"A half-beguiling/half-clunky allegory (...) the film can feel worked-over and schematic, as if Bonello was too preoccupied with serving the thesis to trust his peerless intuition."

Variety
Disappearance at Clifton Hill (2019)
Publish Date: September 5, 2019
"[It] leaves a vivid impression without quite leaving a mark."

Variety
Mindhunter (TV Series) (2017)
Publish Date: August 15, 2019
"[2nd Season Review]: Fincher directs the first episode with his usual panache"

Vulture
The Song of Names (2019)
Publish Date: August 7, 2019
"Much of 'The Song of Names' is tangled up in a plodding period mystery that emphasizes handsome production values over hot-blooded emotion"

Variety
Girls With Balls (2018)
Publish Date: July 23, 2019
"Afonso doesn’t push the cartoonish allure far enough into shocks or titillation, and he’s not inventive enough to make up for the absence of cheap thrills."

Variety
Humpday (2009)
Publish Date: July 8, 2019
"In scene after scene, 'Humpday' carefully raises the stakes until it hits a finale loaded with humor, tenderness, and delicious ambiguity."
