If Onward came earlier in the studio’s run, I think it would be heralded as a masterpiece. It only suffers when compared to the predecessors that perfected the formula; the surprises instead come through batty visual gags and other catnip for fantasy nerds like me. Review
The Two Popes is a warm and ultimately affirming experience, floating on divine grace like a feather in the wind. Review
The more the walls close in, the harder Uncut Gems is to watch, and the harder it is to stop watching. That’s in huge part due to Sandler, bringing every ounce of his trademark charismatic, sociopathy to bear in his customary twice-a-decade reminder that he can really act when he wants to. Review
But it wasn’t just fun pulp storytelling; there was some great filmmaking on display, especially from directors Deborah Chow and Bryce Dallas Howard. Review
Like Jo, and like Alcott, Gerwig is a born storyteller, and it’s a privilege to watch her do it. Review
It is simultaneously a thrilling culmination and a crushing disappointment; its choices are often either nonsensical or cowardly, aiming only for pleasure, never inspiration. For me, it hit the mark just enough times that I don’t think it deserves hate. Review
Frozen II doesn’t play like a retread, but a proper continuation of the story. Review
It’s a lovely, restrained performance from the former Americans star; he balances Hanks’s otherworldly, weaponized decency without bluster or artifice. Review
The Irishman doesn’t beat Silence or Wolf of Wall Street for me as far as the master’s work this decade, but don’t mistake your lack of engagement for its lack of substance. Review
Right now, with one month to go, it’s my favorite film of 2019. Review
Only Robert Pattinson, as the long-locked, sociopathic Dauphin, seems to be having a delightful time; I don’t know whether he’s making good acting choices, but he’s definitely doing something, and gives the film a shot in the arm when it desperately needs it. All hail Pattinson, at least. Review
Ford v. Ferrari is a crowdpleaser, expertly paced even at two and a half hours, and compelled many leaving the parking lot of our theater to squeal out recklessly. Review
You’ll realize you’re watching something truly special. I wish I could say more, but trust me — you don’t want me to. Review
The film is ultimately about the difference between loyalty and love, and the large impact of small choices…by small people. Review
It’s Soderbergh, so you know it’s good. A minor entry in his oeuvre, but good nevertheless. Review
Vince Gilligan & co. are extremely good at what they do, so calling El Camino average is still rating it higher than most things. Review
The Lighthouse is pure cinema, dazzling and fanatically detailed; challenging and hysterical in both senses of the word. Review
Joker’s scattershot approach to issues of class and mental illness, not fully committing to either in exchange for shoe-horned in scenes of the Waynes, never coalesces into anything meaningful, much less original. I’ll be relieved when the conversation has moved on from it. Review
But as cool and interesting as time travel always is, the characters are memorable enough on their own, beginning with Salazar’s fierce, funny performance — oil to Odenkirk’s reliably still water. Review
Age of Resistance is a masterpiece. Review
Ad Astra isn’t The Martian, or Gravity, or even Interstellar (though it probably shares the most in common with the latter). It’s its own beguiling journey. Review
It’s best to think of these free-money reproductions as Broadway revivals, enjoyable solely for hearing performers you already like doing parts you already know. Because this ain’t a director’s medium. Review
Most of all, the film is a loving, fanatically-detailed recreation of a specific point in time. It’s drenched in authentic radio broadcasts and signage, like Tarantino saw the Coen brothers’ Hail, Caesar! and cracked his knuckles. Review
There’s actually a great deal of charm to go around; this iteration of cinematic Spider-Man is unique for its earnestness. Review
