Movie reviews of Alex Brannan

Combines what was promising about The Force Awakens and what was modern about the action in Rogue One... Review

The funny moments are, for the most part, funny. The earnest moments are earnest. Review

A delight. Review

The film survives in its smaller moments. Review

That his characters are crass and distinctly human makes these moments of heart brilliant kernels of understanding... Review

Washington takes over the film, owning the role and granting us access into this otherwise imbalanced film. Review

What you expect with just a little something more. Review

Links the two eponymous names in a way that is intriguing and inspiring. Review

A messy film that otherwise does not stand on its own as something with a qualitative net positive. Review

An inspired first foray into directing for Gerwig. Even when it stumbles, it stumbles graciously. Review

One sorry cliche after another. Review

The bad outweighs the good when it comes to the comedy. Many scenes play out to utter silence. Review

A fine little mystery film, innocuous more than anything. Review

Was swept under the rug for a reason. Review

Unrelenting, consistent, and wholly unexpected. Review

Is this funny? Review

What is left are the bones of a film that could have been much better. Review

A superfluous addition to a horror franchise that just will not die. Review

As satisfying an experience as a horror sequel can be. Review

Bleak and atmospheric, balanced with a deliberate gait from scene to scene, and acted with unrelenting vigor... Review

A tedious, low-intelligence continuation of one of the lesser ’80s slasher franchises. Review

Obvious mediocrity... Review

Will awe you with its exquisite fight choreography and brilliant handling of the camera in and out of combat. Review

Performances from Foy and Garfield are admirable... Review
