Migration (2023)

Publish Date: December 19, 2023
"[It] isn’t exactly unique, but it’s different enough. And in today’s factory filmmaking, that’s almost as unlikely as milking a duck"

Los Angeles Times
Candy Cane Lane (2023)

Publish Date: November 29, 2023
"You want to see Eddie Murphy surrounded by some Christmas-themed silliness. And on that score, it’s fine enough, but destined for regifting"

Los Angeles Times
A Million Miles Away (2023)

Publish Date: September 14, 2023
"[It] doesn’t exactly zoom past the stratosphere, but it’s kept in orbit by Hernández’s inspirational true story and the comfort of family ties"

Los Angeles Times
Bobi Wine: The People's President (2022)

Publish Date: July 27, 2023
"Uneven but rousing"

Los Angeles Times
Sisu (2022)

Publish Date: April 25, 2023
"It may have benefited from a quickened pace, or touches of humor, or heightened stakes because — at least in this film — watching Nazis get theirs is a vein of amusement that runs dry"

Los Angeles Times
Spinning Gold (2022)

Publish Date: March 29, 2023
"The filmmaking lacks the style to pull off its willful blending of fact and fantasy"

Los Angeles Times
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Scarlet Bond (2022)

Publish Date: January 18, 2023
"[It] isn't unusual-looking or surprising, but my daughter assures me fans of the show will not want to miss it. The rest of us will be immersed in warm confusion as things we just don't understand unspool before us"

Los Angeles Times
New Gods: Yang Jian (2022)

Publish Date: January 18, 2023
"Whatever else one comes away with, 'Xin shen bang: Yang Jian' belongs alongside the more visually striking recent animated features"

Los Angeles Times
Alice, Darling (2022)

Publish Date: December 28, 2022
"It's deliberately vague in a way that is dramatically unhelpful (...) [Kendrick's] performance convincingly conveys the symptoms; her shortness of breath, subtle shrinking, facial fragility all ring true"

Los Angeles Times
The Almond and the Seahorse (2022)

Publish Date: December 14, 2022
"The cast is game (...) 'The Almond and the Seahorse' isn't as memorable as it could be"

Los Angeles Times
Project Wolf Hunting (2022)

Publish Date: October 5, 2022
"The plot doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense, but does it matter? If you're on this cruise, you're here for the bruises. One wishes the action were more thought through and a hint of characterization would have helped"

Los Angeles Times
Argentina, 1985 (2022)

Publish Date: September 27, 2022
"Apart from the moving testimonies of surviving victims, the movie's power comes from the desperate needs for justice and to prevent this authoritarian, terrorist scourge from ever taking hold again"

Los Angeles Times
Breaking (2022)

Publish Date: August 23, 2022
"Brown-Easley's story is interesting and the film's acting is committed. Unfortunately, as a cinematic experience, 'Breaking' fails to compel"

Los Angeles Times
Day Shift (2022)

Publish Date: August 11, 2022
"Is a damned delight. One would be tempted to call it the best horror comedy of 2022 so far, but it mixes so many genres it’s more like 2022’s best horror-buddy-cop-cartel-drama-bounty-hunter-martial-arts-action comedy (so far)."

Los Angeles Times
Emergency Declaration (2021)

Publish Date: August 10, 2022
"[It] doesn't look or feel like a typical Korean blockbuster. It's shot in a handheld, vérité-inspired style and effectively generates tension (...) Until an emotionally manipulative denouement makes for a rough landing"

Los Angeles Times
The Princess (2022)

Publish Date: June 30, 2022
"'The Princess' is an unabashedly feminist action-adventure in which the central character rises from her dormancy to slash the patriarchy. It couldn’t be more timely, and it’s a good time too."

Los Angeles Times
Jerry & Marge Go Large (2022)

Publish Date: June 14, 2022
"'Jerry & Marge Go Large' is a charmer. It’s a low-key, fact-based caper movie (...) It’s bolstered by a funny script and dependably sharp performances by Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening."

Los Angeles Times
The Valet (2022)

Publish Date: May 17, 2022
"Thanks to the synthesis of adaptation, direction and ensemble —especially its leads— 'The Valet' rewardingly finds its own way"

Los Angeles Times
Dakota (2022)

Publish Date: March 30, 2022
"It means to be about a struggling family saved by a brave dog. What most viewers will agree on is that it needed more dog."

Los Angeles Times
Cheaper by the Dozen (2022)

Publish Date: March 16, 2022
"It’s an assembly-line product scrubbed clean of personality. (...) The inner lives of the kids are barely explored. They’re props, more or less"
