Movie reviews of William Eguizabal

I love a good road trip film—and even more when it has a fair bit of quirk to it. This one has a visual identity that I found so freaking charming. Review

This film is way too long. A lot happens all at once, and it often slips into sensory overload. Review

It’s a gorgeous feature with outstanding performances—an excellent example of a director expanding his short film into a fully realized story. Review

It’s grotesque in all the right ways. Myren’s performance as Elvira is gripping, while Torp, as the evil stepmother, is deliciously vile. Review

Marvel earned back a little bit of clout with me by finally making their characters feel like human beings—people with emotions, issues, and obstacles to overcome outside of just the villain. Review

I enjoyed the ride. It’s a buddy-trip movie for the modern hipster. Michael Cera getting his time to shine again is something I’m very much enjoying. Review

This one is more of a distillation of the human psyche—of what we’re capable of if we find it in ourselves to survive. Visceral, thrilling, and chock-full of adrenaline and brotherhood. Review

It’s not the best action film we’ve seen this year. Far from it. But it is a very entertaining movie—the kind you can turn your brain off and just enjoy. Review

I’m not even sure why A24 picked this up in the first place. Maybe the quirky concept won them over? It’s hard to say, because as I sat through the film, I could hardly believe how dumb the whole thing was. Review

Sophia Carson is clearly trying her best with this—but man, it just ain’t hittin’. Normally, this is the kind of thing that would interest me… but it really didn’t. Review

There’s a lot to like here, and for a film of this nature, it’s honestly top-tier. The action is great, and keeping Statham’s dialogue to a minimum is the best way to maximize his strengths as a performer. Review

This just feels like a Stephen King novel turned into a mediocre film. Bernal and Kidman give solid performances, even if their chemistry isn’t quite there. Review

Adults will hate the story, and it won’t hold their attention because it’s so poorly made. Review

In all honesty, the pretension is hard to miss. The film’s nose is stuck completely in the air at this point. It doesn’t land any of the things it’s trying to do. Review

The potential was there—sadly, the execution wasn’t. Review

Not only is Flying Lotus completely off the handle visually, but he also understands where to put the camera, when to cut, and how to get the most out of his cast. Review

Its lack of focus and overall disaster of a script stunt its potential, but the visuals are enough to make anyone curious about whatever is happening here. Review

Nothing too special—just a nice distraction and a perfectly capable film, aside from the unfortunate stumble of its script. The acting is good, but not great. Review

SXSW normally brings it when it comes to documentaries. They’ve yet again nailed it here with this one. It kept me interested throughout and that’s an important thing to do as a documentary. Review

If the film’s odd nature strikes your fancy, then by all means—check it out. But for me, it’s a skip, even if it’s technically a passable film. Review

It’s always a fun time when a film like this comes along—something easily digestible and well made. Review

I can assure you—you’re in for a well-written, excellently told film. Review

If rom-coms are your thing, this one will probably do the trick. If not—well, what are you even doing here? Review

If not for the stagnant script, this wrestling biopic could have been a near home run. Review
