A better comparison would be First Cow: It’s a fully-formed, beautifully lensed allegory about grief and loss. It’s deliberately paced, but a strikingly efficient 92 minutes. It presents the underbelly of a world we kinda know — Portland fine dining — but with enough heightened originality to keep us on our toes. Review
Like in Guardians, Gunn has a lot of fun with the idea of independent chaos agents discovering their consciences when forced to work together in common cause, and it all builds to a climax that is as emotionally satisfying as it is visually thrilling. Review
The Green Knight is The Seventh Seal with a talking fox; The Last Temptation of Christ with Treebeard, and will be hard to beat for my favorite film of the year. Review
As a time capsule, Summer of Soul is exceptional; as an experience, it could have been twice as long (or a miniseries) and there would still be more music to hear and stories to tell. A gift that will never be forgotten again. Review
Mostly, No Sudden Move is another patented Soderbergh exercise in genre style. Solomon’s plotting is labyrinthine, meant to leave you floundering — the better to enjoy rewatching later. Review
It’s just a solid, well-staged, well-acted thrill ride that happens to finally give one of the original “Big 6” Avengers her due. Review
While the series isn’t anything revolutionary, it is engaging, well-acted, and beautifully lensed by primary cinematographer Dave Garbett. Review
Luca lands somewhere around the middle of the hallowed Pixar rankings, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a “lesser” film. Slight, sure, but are you going to complain about a shorter run time and a story that isn’t over-plotted? Of course not. Review
The cast is appealing (Ramos, especially, has a casual charisma that should make him a star), the songs are dynamically orchestrated and performed, and Jon M. Chu’s direction is Big and Widescreen... Review
It’s a challenge to square that with Cumberbatch’s innate gravitas, but the actor delivers, especially in the wrenching final reels. Review
Mitchells is incredibly smart about its storytelling. Throwaway gags from the first act get revisited for maximum pathos in the third, and the conflicts between family members are totally convincing. Review
You can literally feel the weight of it: the strength, dignity, and millions of stories left untold over centuries of terror. Review
Hopkins pulls it off as only he can, with Colman’s nuanced performance matching him scene for scene. Review
As spectacle, Godzilla vs. Kong is wildly, mindlessly entertaining. As “cinema,” it’s… well, you know what? It is cinema. “So massive, so stupid,” but cinema. So there. Review
As a directorial debut for Fennell , it’s remarkable. For Mulligan, it’s the performance of a lifetime. Review
Collective’s ending may be downbeat realpolitik, but the story it’s telling is a vital and universal cautionary tale. It’s the best documentary of 2020. Review
Most of Minari’s story unfolds like that, a series of moments that slowly fill in the mosaic, ultimately revealing through triumph and heartbreak that it’s not merely what we do that matters, but what we do together. It’s a special film. See it. Review
When Raya goes for the jugular thematically, it connects — a great third act makes up for a lot of shortcomings, but the road there is too unsteady to put it in the studio’s top tier. Review
Moira Buffini’s script is nevertheless engaging enough, despite its many historical liberties. Review
For Nomadland, that means Zhao and her team — including an as-good-as ever McDormand, meaning she is extremely good — traveled the country in vans for months, looking for the right faces and personalities to help tell the story. The result is something wholly original, empathetic, and beautiful in its own way. Review
Kaluuya has demonstrated his range and intensity in Get Out and Widows, but this ought to launch him into the stratosphere — and onto the Oscar stage, if there is any justice. Review
His second collaboration with Hanks also yields another exceptional performance, showing a soulful vulnerability that not even Spielberg regularly asks of the actor. Yet, for all of its well-made parts, News of the World is only a solid outing, not a transcendent one. Review
The performances are so dynamic and the dialogue is so rich that it never feels artificial or constrained — a remarkable accomplishment for director Regina King. Review
Vinterberg’s script is full of deeply human moments, and the cast is uniformly outstanding. Review
