Infinity Pool (2023) 87% 2/4 EDIT “If David Cronenberg seems almost indifferent to his audience, Brendon Cronenberg is so fixated on freaking people out that he can sometimes neglect to do much else.” – Slant Magazine Jan 27, 2023 Full Review A Man Called Otto (2022) 70% 1.5/4 EDIT “The film is so toothless that its protagonist is ultimately about as forbidding as a warm hug.” – Slant Magazine Dec 28, 2022 Full Review Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Given that big-studio children’s animation so often feels like it was created by algorithm, it’s refreshing to see a kid’s cartoon like <em>The Last Wish</em> that’s filled with too many ideas rather than too few.” – Slant Magazine Dec 19, 2022 Full Review She Said (2022) 88% 1.5/4 EDIT “She Said seems less intent on dramatizing the events of Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey’s investigation than simply relating them.” – Slant Magazine Nov 17, 2022 Full Review Argentina, 1985 (2022) 96% 2.5/4 EDIT “Justice, Argentina, 1985 suggests, isn’t a destination but a constant process.” – Slant Magazine Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Halloween Ends (2022) 40% 1.5/4 EDIT “Just as David Gordon Green seems to have finally unshackled his legacyquel trilogy from the dead weight of the past, the film loses the courage of its convictions.” – Slant Magazine Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Scarlet (2022) 79% EDIT “The film drifts so far into weightless fantasy that it practically dissipates before one’s eyes.” – Slant Magazine Oct 5, 2022 Full Review A Couple (2022) 85% 3/4 EDIT “A Couple ultimately constitutes not so much a footnote to Frederick Wiseman’s storied career as a beguiling little doodle in its margins.” – Slant Magazine Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Triangle of Sadness (2022) 72% 2/4 EDIT “Writer-director Ruben Östlund’s pessimism ultimately leads the film toward a self-negating dead end.” – Slant Magazine Sep 11, 2022 Full Review Corsage (2022) 85% 3/4 EDIT “Writer-director Marie Kreutzer’s boldly restive biopic imagines Empress Elisabeth of Austria as a deeply restless soul chafing against the social limitations of her day.” – Slant Magazine Sep 10, 2022 Full Review De Humani Corporis Fabrica (2022) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel’s film is one of the supreme cinematic examinations of the body’s magnificent malleability.” – Slant Magazine Sep 9, 2022 Full Review The Black Phone (2021) 81% 2/4 EDIT “Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill are adept enough at setting up rich, evocative horror concepts, but they don’t always know what to do with them once they’re in place.” – Slant Magazine Jun 22, 2022 Full Review Lightyear (2022) 74% 2/4 EDIT “The film is a slickly produced but soulless spectacle whose jokey banter and space-opera action drowns out the story’s emotional beats.” – Slant Magazine Jun 13, 2022 Full Review Hustle (2022) 94% 1.5/4 EDIT “Hustle doesn’t really seem to know who its characters are, much less how they fit into the complicated web of sports, media, and finance that defines the NBA.” – Slant Magazine Jun 6, 2022 Full Review The Bob's Burgers Movie (2022) 87% 3/4 EDIT “Throughout the film, the quick-hit jokes from the show’s rich cast of oddballs serves to suggest a vibrant world outside of the Belchers.” – Slant Magazine May 23, 2022 Full Review Final Cut (2022) 71% 1.5/4 EDIT “Unlike One Cut of the Dead, Michel Hazanavicius’s similar ode to low-budget resourcefulness often rings false. ” – Slant Magazine May 19, 2022 Full Review Men (2022) 69% 2/4 EDIT “Men is ultimately about as deep as its title, a swipe at the multi-faceted terribleness of its titular subject that rarely gets beyond being a mere catalogue of the different ways that guys can be irritating around and dangerous toward women.” – Slant Magazine May 16, 2022 Full Review Los Conductos (2020) 86% 2.5/4 EDIT “A collage-like tale of vengeance told with an often impressionistic elusiveness, the film can also be bewildering in its juxtapositions.” – Slant Magazine Apr 25, 2022 Full Review Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood (2022) 91% 3/4 EDIT “Apollo 10 ultimately suggests that memory distorts and amplifies just as much as it preserves.” – Slant Magazine Mar 28, 2022 Full Review Studio 666 (2022) 56% 2/4 EDIT “The film’s funny and shocking gore too often plays second fiddle to meandering comedic bits revolving around the band’s recording sessions.” – Slant Magazine Feb 25, 2022 Full Review Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) 31% 1/4 EDIT “The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a deeply miscalculated mix of incoherent social commentary and over-the-top gore.” – Slant Magazine Feb 18, 2022 Full Review Catch the Fair One (2021) 93% 2/4 EDIT “The solemnity of Josef Kubota Wladykas film is at odds with the gratuitousness of its violence.” – Slant Magazine Feb 8, 2022 Full Review Hatching (2022) 93% 1.5/4 EDIT “The ham-handed allegorical construction, generically titled characters, and self-serious tone in its final third drains the story of the specificity that might have resulted in a more incisive critique of the perils of perfectionism.” – Slant Magazine Jan 31, 2022 Full Review Nanny (2022) 91% 3/4 EDIT “Writer-director Nikyatu Jusu's film ultimately proposes that survival is the greatest form of resistance.” – Slant Magazine Jan 28, 2022 Full Review Alice (2022) 29% .5/4 EDIT “Alice plays as an inadvertent parody of contemporary liberalism's fascination with and fetishization of '70s black radicalism.” – Slant Magazine Jan 25, 2022 Full Review
