Outbreak (1995) 60% EDIT “Outbreak isn't a perfect movie, but it is the perfect movie to talk about the way pop culture portrays viruses...” – The Daily Dot Mar 16, 2020 Full Review The Laundromat (2019) 42% 2.5/5 EDIT “Unfortunately for The Laundromat, its mission statement would be more deeply felt if what came before wasn't so inconsistent.” – The Daily Dot Oct 21, 2019 Full Review Jim Gaffigan: Cinco (2017) 83% EDIT “Though they come fairly late in Cinco's runtime, musings on the manliness of steak and trying to smuggle donuts through an airport are sure to delight longtime fans.” – The Daily Dot Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Deadwood: The Movie (2019) 98% 4/5 EDIT “A worthy sendoff to a brilliant, messy series whose proper conclusion has been more than a decade in the making.” – The Daily Dot Jun 3, 2019 Full Review Happy as Lazzaro (2018) 91% 2.5/5 EDIT “The film goes on to rail against banks and the evils of modern capitalism without seeming to fully understand what it's protesting.” – The Daily Dot Dec 3, 2018 Full Review Sabrina (2018) 1/5 EDIT “If you like movies that are bad but occasionally amusing in their ridiculousness, you might get something out of it. Otherwise, there's nothing to enjoy here.” – The Daily Dot Nov 29, 2018 Full Review Adam Sandler: 100% Fresh (2018) 90% 3/5 EDIT “100% Fresh suggests there's a better path forward for [Sandler], one that combines the lowbrow, everyman quality of his early days with the spirit of where he is now.” – The Daily Dot Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Searching (2018) 92% EDIT “Searching is about the literal and metaphorical portals we open when we choose to live online, the negotiations between our public histories and hidden secrets we enter into.” – The Daily Dot Aug 28, 2018 Full Review The Package (2018) 37% 2/5 EDIT “To say this movie has bad taste would be an insult to bad taste.” – The Daily Dot Aug 11, 2018 Full Review Father of the Year (2018) 0% EDIT “If a bad movie arrives on streaming without a signal, does it make a sound?” – The Daily Dot Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Ballet Now (2018) 2.5/5 EDIT “Ballet Now feels more like a DVD extra to accompany the original live performance than a feature film capable of standing on its own.” – The Daily Dot Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Wonder Wheel (2017) 31% 2.5/5 EDIT “Although we are mercifully spared an Allen stand-in on-screen, many uncomfortable traits and many old-fashioned ideas about men and women do persist.” – The Daily Dot Jun 27, 2018 Full Review The Tale (2018) 99% EDIT “It would be great to see HBO screen The Tale in at least a few theaters, in hopes of making [Laura Dern] a longshot Oscar contender.” – The Daily Dot May 28, 2018 Full Review Anon (2018) 38% 2/5 EDIT “Anon is essentially an extended Black Mirror episode. Unfortunately, it plays like one of the more mediocre offerings from that series.” – The Daily Dot May 8, 2018 Full Review The Week Of (2018) 26% 2/5 EDIT “The Week Of isn't a good movie by any conventional standards, but it manages to clear the very low bar Sandler has set for himself.” – The Daily Dot May 3, 2018 Full Review Dude (2018) 2.5/5 EDIT “Dude still manages to be a fun watch, sadness and all.” – The Daily Dot Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Elvis Presley: The Searcher (2018) 96% 2.5/5 EDIT “The film is full of facts, but none of them are showcased in a new light. Luckily most of the music speaks for itself.” – The Daily Dot Apr 18, 2018 Full Review The Outsider (2018) 13% EDIT “The movie we get here is another bad Netflix film, so dull it almost makes one angry, so bland you'll forget it the minute it's over.” – The Daily Dot Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Human Flow (2017) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “WeiWei and others in the film suggest it is a battle for the soul of Europe, if not the entire world. It's hard to imagine any empathetic person watching the film not feeling the same way.” – The Daily Dot Feb 22, 2018 Full Review On Body and Soul (2017) 90% 2/5 EDIT “You're left with the realization that despite its philosophical intrigue, On Body and Soul remains a flawed film.” – The Daily Dot Feb 15, 2018 Full Review The Ritual (2017) 74% 2.5/5 EDIT “The Ritual is too flat, however, to the point of being forgettable. There's nothing about this movie which elevates it beyond that excellent inciting incident.” – The Daily Dot Feb 14, 2018 Full Review The Open House (2018) 7% EDIT “I could hardly keep my eyes open watching The Open House, and that's including when the movie got to its big payoff. If it weren't for the creepy music, parts of this film would play better as a domestic drama than as a horror movie.” – The Daily Dot Jan 25, 2018 Full Review Bright (2017) 26% EDIT “It's an utterly silly, completely ridiculous premise, seemingly born out of algorithm-generated, genre-hybrid logic.” – The Daily Dot Dec 29, 2017 Full Review Mudbound (2017) 97% 3.5/5 EDIT “Every movie about systemic racism is as much about white Americans as any other group and the ways in which they've benefited from institutional prejudice. Mudbound brings an additional layer of nuance to the conversation.” – The Daily Dot Nov 22, 2017 Full Review City of Ghosts (2017) 98% EDIT “As history progresses and the Syrian Civil War is dissected and taught in schools, the portrait City of God paints of these activists will prove to be a key snapshot of courage in the face of monstrous tyranny.” – The Daily Dot Oct 19, 2017 Full Review
