The Fabelmans (2022) 92% EDIT “As long as Spielberg is at the helm, a love letter to film isn’t cliche, it’s genius.” – Film School Rejects Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Bergman Island (2021) 84% EDIT “Mia Hansen-Løve delivers an astonishing and personal film about the process of creating an astonishing and personal film.” – Film School Rejects Sep 28, 2021 Full Review The Guilty (2021) 73% EDIT “For the most part, The Guilty delivers formally, but thematically it falls apart.” – Film School Rejects Sep 14, 2021 Full Review The Power of the Dog (2021) 94% EDIT “A profoundly satisfying puzzle of masculinity that is enthralling up to the last shot.” – Film School Rejects Sep 13, 2021 Full Review DASHCAM (2021) 47% EDIT “Even if Dashcam had a better story, it would still be a failed exercise.” – Film School Rejects Sep 13, 2021 Full Review Undine (2020) 89% EDIT “Regardless of whether Undine is working at a level of allegory or actual fantasy, it is an expansively rich film.” – Globe and Mail Jun 2, 2021 Full Review Quo Vadis, Aida? (2020) 100% EDIT “Refreshingly, this is a war drama that doesn't hinge on indulgent or shameless violence. Instead, it focuses on the heart-wrenching devastation of more offhand cruelties.” – Globe and Mail Apr 8, 2021 Full Review PVT Chat (2021) 68% EDIT “Unfortunately, there isn't enough here in terms of character to consider the film to be more inspired than it is derivative or more worthwhile than it is frustrating.” – Film School Rejects Feb 5, 2021 Full Review First Cow (2019) 96% EDIT “Someone clean up this milk before I start crying again.” – Film School Rejects Jan 27, 2021 Full Review The Vast of Night (2019) 92% EDIT “One of the most astonishing feature debuts in recent memory...” – Film School Rejects Jan 26, 2021 Full Review The Assistant (2019) 93% EDIT “Green has the confidence of a filmmaker who knows she need not make anything explicit in order to shake you to your core.” – Film School Rejects Jan 26, 2021 Full Review I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020) 82% EDIT “With his signature surrealist elements and introspective impulses, it's safe to say that I'm Thinking of Ending Things is as inventive as it is unsettling...” – Film School Rejects Jan 26, 2021 Full Review Dogs Don't Wear Pants (2019) 90% EDIT “With a gnarly nail removal that the French extremity genre would be proud of and a final scene that calls to mind the work of Claire Denis, it's safe to say that this is a film best experienced first hand rather than through a narrative summary.” – Film School Rejects Jan 26, 2021 Full Review Lingua Franca (2019) 86% EDIT “The film inherits a symbolic baton from Chantal Akerman's News From Home in its deft and touching depiction of a woman almost entirely separated from her roots, tethered only by the words of her mother.” – Film School Rejects Jan 26, 2021 Full Review Miss Juneteenth (2020) 99% EDIT “If there's any justice, we'll be hearing Beharie's name in the Oscar conversation soon.” – Film School Rejects Jan 26, 2021 Full Review The Invisible Man (2020) 92% EDIT “The Invisible Man is one of the best horror movies in recent years and, of course, one of the best movies of 2020.” – Film School Rejects Jan 26, 2021 Full Review Mank (2020) 83% EDIT “Fincher's film is not geared towards flattery. Mank is much more interested in the pernicious greed of those who will dispense fallacies as fact if it means another dollar in their pocket.” – Film School Rejects Jan 26, 2021 Full Review On the Rocks (2020) 87% EDIT “A minor Coppola? Perhaps. On The Rocks is certainly not her strongest film, but it may be her most measured.” – Film School Rejects Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Endings, Beginnings (2019) 45% EDIT “Drake Doremus might not be trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to romantic dramas, but he does a serviceable job of letting it roll on at its own pace.” – Film School Rejects Apr 22, 2020 Full Review Fourteen (2019) 98% EDIT “Rather than any catastrophic, overacted blowout, he more realistically charts the gap that slowly forms between his protagonists...” – Cinema Scope Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Transit (2018) 94% EDIT “Transit captures the tragedy of uncertainty in astonishingly heartbreaking ways.” – Film School Rejects Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Spies in Disguise (2019) 77% 2.5/4 EDIT “It might not be the best movie of the year, but its faults are nothing worth ruffling feathers about.” – Globe and Mail Dec 19, 2019 Full Review Gemini Man (2019) 27% 2.5/4 EDIT “Gemini Man is a uniquely visually thrilling film backed by Lee's undeniable commitment and ambition.” – Globe and Mail Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Knives Out (2019) 97% EDIT “Though far from a flawless film, Knives Out is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.” – Film School Rejects Oct 3, 2019 Full Review Uncut Gems (2019) 91% EDIT “The Safdie Brothers' thriller is a raw and powerful feat of filmmaking anchored by a career-best Adam Sandler performance.” – Film School Rejects Sep 17, 2019 Full Review
