Sorry, Baby (2025)
Publish Date: June 22, 2025
"Though somewhat slowed by its chapter-style storytelling, Victor deftly reflects on the banality and frustration of life after trauma"

Chicago Reader
Tornado (2025)
Publish Date: May 28, 2025
"Visually, [it] grips hard, and its climactic confrontations deliver adrenaline in spades. Still, in no way does this climax feel earned"

Chicago Reader
Mountainhead (2025)
Publish Date: May 28, 2025
"Most of the jabs at the billionaires are nothing new and nothing too cutting. Perhaps this is what is most unfortunate about the film"

Chicago Reader
On Swift Horses (2024)
Publish Date: April 24, 2025
"For a movie whose core metaphor is about gambling, [it] rarely takes risks, sketching superficial characters that are more ideas than real people"

Chicago Reader
The Last Showgirl (2024)
Publish Date: January 8, 2025
"Despite a strong premise and capable cast, 'The Last Showgirl' is hindered by a poor script"

Chicago Reader
Babygirl (2024)
Publish Date: December 23, 2024
"This concise, unforgiving film arrives exactly when it’s most needed. At times, it plays mechanically, but it’s undeniably human"

Chicago Reader
Nosferatu (2024)
Publish Date: December 22, 2024
"While it sometimes struggles under the weight of its predecessors, 'Nosferatu' is made deep and sinister by its actors"

Chicago Reader
The Brutalist (2024)
Publish Date: December 19, 2024
"Is Corbet’s colossus: it’s a massive American epic that damns the ground we stand on"

Chicago Reader
Maria (2024)
Publish Date: December 9, 2024
"The flashbacks are particularly heavy-handed (...) Jolie immerses herself in the role (...), but her talents are squandered, left unsupported by her director"

Chicago Reader
A Family Affair (2024)
Publish Date: June 26, 2024
"Despite the A-list leads, a poor script and lack of originality will keep 'A Family Affair' from being a hit"

Chicago Reader
La Chimera (2023)
Publish Date: April 2, 2024
"The first half of 'La Chimera' swallows you. Its style and subtle fantasies thicken until suddenly, you are thoroughly enmeshed with the whimsical tombaroli"

Chicago Reader
Ennio: The Maestro (2021)
Publish Date: March 28, 2024
"Diving into the history of these scores touches the heart of anyone who has been moved by his songs"

Chicago Reader
Femme (2023)
Publish Date: March 21, 2024
"This queer thriller avoids predictability and masterfully explores masculinity, ethics, and identity"

Chicago Reader
Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024)
Publish Date: March 13, 2024
"Erratic but fun"

Chicago Reader
Problemista (2023)
Publish Date: March 6, 2024
"Julio Torres cleverly pairs absurd comedy with real stakes"

Chicago Reader
Drive-Away Dolls (2024)
Publish Date: February 20, 2024
"'Drive-Away Dolls' succeeds in its die-hard punchiness and only works because the entire cast is genuinely charming"

Chicago Reader
Fireworks (2023)
Publish Date: January 25, 2024
"More than anything, is earnest. Its story is tumultuous, yet Fiorello manages to steer his debut on a touching trajectory. But the movie’s real strongholds are the two young actors, Segreto and Pizzuro"

Chicago Reader
Eileen (2023)
Publish Date: December 13, 2023
"A triumphant adaptation with a shocking twist"

Chicago Reader
Poor Things (2023)
Publish Date: December 13, 2023
"What makes 'Poor Things' a titanic film is how Lanthimos balances playfulness with far more intricate themes. Stone’s performance, embodying the act of self-awareness, is no small feat, either. But above all, it urges us, if not compels us, to approach life with new vigor"

Chicago Reader
Maestro (2023)
Publish Date: December 13, 2023
"The movie is made for Mulligan to shine in an otherwise-dull film"
