The Little Mermaid (2023)

Publish Date: May 22, 2023
"Halle Bailey might be a lovely presence and possesses a superb voice (...) but photorealistic fins, animals and environments do not make Disney fairy tales more enchanting on their own."

ABC News
Chevalier (2022)

Publish Date: April 20, 2023
"Film is a worthwhile bio of the scholar, fencer and virtuoso violinist with effective acting, tension and sumptuous production (...) Rating: *** (out of 4)"

Chicago Sun-Times
House Party (2023)

Publish Date: January 13, 2023
"'House Party' remake falls short on the fun (...) [A] half-baked endeavor (...) Rating: *1/2 (out of 4)"

Toronto Star
Broker (2022)

Publish Date: December 28, 2022
"A reminder that filmmakers looking to explore society's ills don't need to make something a misery fest to do so effectively and powerfully"

Toronto Star
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)

Publish Date: December 20, 2022
"It has enough good jokes to keep anyone amused for an afternoon at the movies. The animation is exactly what you need it to be too (...) Rating: *** (out of 4)"

Chicago Sun-Times
The Wonder (2022)

Publish Date: November 3, 2022
"Science and belief clashes aside, 'The Wonder' is a transfixing, transportive film, anchored by the incomparable Pugh (…) Rating: *** (out of 4)"

Chicago Sun-Times
The Sea Beast (2022)

Publish Date: July 6, 2022
"It is a fantasy you can get wrapped up in and put away when it’s over (...) 'The Sea Beast' is notable for its refusal to dumb itself down for a young audience"

ABC News
Dog (2022)

Publish Date: February 18, 2022
"Ultimately it does work, but 'Dog' is a movie that is trying to do quite a bit, and perhaps bites off a little more than it can reasonably handle in 90 minutes."

ABC News
Six Minutes to Midnight (2020)

Publish Date: March 24, 2021
"[It] is entertaining enough if a little underwhelming. It’s handsomely and nostalgically shot (...) But the film is also rather rushed and seems disinterested in the details of its own story."

SFGATE
The Witches (2020)

Publish Date: October 21, 2020
"It’s not going to be as iconic as Roeg’s, but it should provide some nice family entertainment at home for Halloween"

Chicago Tribune
The 24th (2020)

Publish Date: August 19, 2020
"A sobering and worthwhile film for its exploration of the subject of police brutality and race and how little has really changed in over a century (…) Rating: **½ (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Poms (2019)

Publish Date: May 9, 2019
"[It is] as though director Zara Hayes and screenwriter Shane Atkinson realized too late that they’d assembled a cast of rock-star actresses (...) and forgot to write a real movie, or characters, for them (…) Rating: ** (out of 4)"

Chicago Sun-Times
Dunkirk (2017)

Publish Date: July 17, 2017
"I've never experienced anything quite like "Dunkirk's" intoxicating immediacy. The screen and images envelope you with urgency, dread and moments of breathtaking beauty and grace as you wait with the soldiers (...) "Dunkirk" is far and away the best film of the year, and Nolan's finest too."
