The Six Billion Dollar Man (2025)
Publish Date: May 20, 2025
"Peck’s approach can be sprawling to a fault, taking on so many subjects and so much horror that the movie is overwhelming in more ways than one. But he has a keen eye for repeated patterns"

Slate
The Rehearsal (TV Series) (2022)
Publish Date: April 20, 2025
"[2nd Season Review]: [It's] not to say its six episodes aren’t full of outlandish surprises and sudden turns. But this time around, Fielder seems less interested in provoking his audience’s discomfort than plumbing his own"

Slate
October H8TE (2025)
Publish Date: March 19, 2025
"The movie is hugely enlightening"

Slate
The Electric State (2025)
Publish Date: March 16, 2025
"The beats of a Russo brothers movie are so predetermined they don’t bear lingering on, but [this one] might be the first time they’ve opted to just skip over them altogether"

Slate
Zero Day (TV Miniseries) (2025)
Publish Date: February 19, 2025
"A pundit-brained muddle designed to exploit national anxieties while studiously avoiding any hint of a point of view, riffing on recognizable figures but ignoring the context that produced them"

Slate
No Other Land (2024)
Publish Date: February 6, 2025
"Watching [this] is like learning another language, but it’s not just the speaking that’s important. It’s the listening"

Slate
Hard Truths (2024)
Publish Date: January 9, 2025
"Mike Leigh’s quiet masterpiece reunites the writer-director with one of his greatest muses"

Slate
Beatles '64 (2024)
Publish Date: December 2, 2024
"[This] documentary mostly repackages old footage, but it also has some unseen gems"

Slate
A Man on the Inside (TV Series) (2024)
Publish Date: November 21, 2024
"The series just kind of drifts along amiably, counting that you’d rather soak in its hot bath than risk changing the channel and catching a chill"

Slate
Say Nothing (TV Miniseries) (2024)
Publish Date: November 20, 2024
"[It] captures the youthful exhilaration of the sisters’ entry into a world where, prior to their arrival, women had traditionally been allowed to hide guns but not to fire them"

Slate
Saturday Night (2024)
Publish Date: September 16, 2024
"There’s plenty of adrenaline to go around, but once that wears off, all that’s left is emptiness"

Slate
Chimp Crazy (TV Series) (2024)
Publish Date: August 27, 2024
"A series that isn’t meant to be wolfed down in one gulp and regretted the next morning. It’s made to be chewed on and lingered over, even if it leaves a bad taste in your mouth"

Slate
Do Not Expect Too Much From The End Of The World (2023)
Publish Date: March 21, 2024
"It captures what it's like to live in this chaotic and deadening world so well it might be the movie of the year, and last year, and next year too"

Slate
I Saw the TV Glow (2024)
Publish Date: January 18, 2024
"'I Saw the TV Glow' is unnerving, unsettling, and engrossing, the kind of movie best watched on the border between waking and sleep"

Slate
Nimona (2023)
Publish Date: June 30, 2023
"It's not [its] lack of fidelity that makes it underwhelming (...) 'Nimona' seems to proceed from the assumption that focusing on diverse protagonists relieves the movie of the need to train its creative energies on any other area"

Slate
Black Mirror: Demon 79 (TV) (2023)
Publish Date: June 16, 2023
"Anjana Vasan and Paapa Essiedu make a great duo in 'Demon 79'"

Slate
Black Mirror (TV Series) (2011)
Publish Date: June 16, 2023
"[6th Season Review]: The problem with these episodes' dark futures is that we're already in them"

Slate
Black Mirror: Beyond the Sea (TV) (2023)
Publish Date: June 16, 2023
"[It] is so vague and distended it doesn't feel like it's about anything at all"

Slate
Occupied City (2023)
Publish Date: May 21, 2023
"The digital cinematography is harsh and glaring, so sharp that it rakes at your eyes"

Slate
The Zone of Interest (2023)
Publish Date: May 21, 2023
"The digital cinematography is harsh and glaring, so sharp that it rakes at your eyes. Already, we're seeing more than we want to"
