What was the endgame behind remaking “Mean Girls”? Like seriously, I’m at a loss for words here. I understand nothing will be safe from being retweaked or remade at the behest of the almighty dollar but even as someone who had only moderate... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Whether their subjects are real or imaginary, the most engaging character stories expose a person for you to empathise with, and give them an arc to test them into some kind of change. Sofia Coppola's 'Priscilla,' does both of those... Read the full review »

The biggest takeaway I got after screening “Mean Girls,” the big screen adaptation of the Broadway musical, is that there is a reason you haven’t heard of any of the songs. There’s also a clear reason why the studio decided to dump this on... Read the full review »

I could feel my pulse quickening over the duration of “The Teachers’ Lounge,” a film that seems designed to ramp up the tension with its dramatic pressure cooker of a plot. Co-writer and director Ilker Çatak‘s film isn’t a traditional t... Read the full review »

There’s a quiet elegance and graceful beauty in the repetition of “Perfect Days,” a poetic, visually lyrical character study from director Wim Wenders. With a script co-written by Wenders and Takuma Takasaki, this nuanced film embraces the s... Read the full review »

The one-note comedy “Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain” is sloppily written, poorly acted, and lacks any semblance of an inspired comedic spark. The premise may be decent, but the large amount of failed and unfunny attempt... Read the full review »

One of the best things I can say about director Zack Snyder‘s sci-fi space epic “Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire” is that at least it’s not totally unwatchable. It certainly is a total mess of a movie (which was supposedly inspire... Read the full review »

You can always count on Nicolas Cage to take on projects with interesting subject matter, and “Dream Scenario” is one of his more unforgettable roles to date. This abstract, satirical social horror film from writer / director Kristoffer Borgli... Read the full review »

With its profound and compassionate storytelling, writer-director Michel Franco‘s “Memory” is a beautiful film on so many levels. His story of loneliness, trauma, and connection between two broken people is a moving character study that’s... Read the full review »

There’s a sadly lackluster feel to parts of director Blitz Bazawule‘s “The Color Purple,” a reimagined adaptation of Alice Walker’s beloved novel that combines elements of the original 1985 film with the Broadway musical. This updated ve... Read the full review »

I felt a great deal of distress after watching “The Zone of Interest,” a haunting, gorgeously directed film from Jonathan Glazer. Based on the 2014 novel by Martin Amis, the film explores the horror of the Holocaust not by focusing on the mill... Read the full review »

Thematically, there certainly is a lot to chew on in “Leave the World Behind,” director Sam Esmail‘s adaptation of Rumaan Alam’s suspenseful, provocative New York Times bestselling novel. This is a case where the director is the ideal fit... Read the full review »

As far as R-rated comedies go, “Anyone But You” is fairly tame. There isn’t much of a raunch factor here, and the biggest surprise about this rom-com for adults is that it’s much better than I ever could have expected it to be. It checks a... Read the full review »

As someone who typically doesn’t enjoy monster movies, I realize that I am not a member of the target audience for “Godzilla Minus One.” As a critic, it’s my job to be objective when evaluating a piece of cinema, and very little about this... Read the full review »

There’s no getting around the fact that the first hour of director Michael Mann‘s “Ferrari” is rough. The pacing is sluggish and there isn’t much story, which makes it a tedious exercise. You’d expect a film that features the history b... Read the full review »

Whoopie, another horror film plucked to the January dumping grounds to start off the new year. Its safe to assume that Blumhouse’s “Night Swim” isn’t going to start another surprise winning streak like last years. And as of right now….... Read the full review »
