Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) 84% 5/5 EDIT “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is under a lot of pressure, but Coogler lands it. The performances are strong, and the stakes feel natural and internal.” – The Mary Sue Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Black Adam (2022) 39% 3.5/5 EDIT “Ultimately, Black Adam is fun, fresh, and big enough to stand up even while suffering from origin-story-itis. ” – The Mary Sue Oct 18, 2022 Full Review The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) 93% EDIT “You feel like an audience member fully immersed in the unraveling of fate's odious design.” – The Mary Sue Jan 24, 2022 Full Review Tick, Tick... Boom! (2021) 88% EDIT “Garfield does an amazing job and brings to life a man who died too soon and tried to speak some truth to power.” – The Mary Sue Jan 6, 2022 Full Review The Last Duel (2021) 85% EDIT “If anything, the fact that Marguerite's perspective is last, and overshadowed by the duel itself, does a disservice.” – The Mary Sue Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Spencer (2021) 83% EDIT “Spencer is not as tight as director Larraín's previous biographical take Jackie, but Stewart gives an excellent performance as a woman, wife, mother, and human being smothered by the privilege she was born into and forced into.” – The Mary Sue Nov 5, 2021 Full Review The Brood (1979) 82% EDIT “The care, the detail, the ferocity of it all really was compelling, and I think Cronenberg has only continued to web a deeply compelling line between sex, trauma, and gender.” – The Mary Sue Nov 2, 2021 Full Review Dune (2021) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Ultimately, the biggest issue is that it is narratively incomplete. It is all exposition and worldbuilding with some cool fight scenes, but it is all leading to something we don't see in this film and might not get to see if the sequel doesn't get made.” – The Mary Sue Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) 25% EDIT “Space Jam while nostalgic and beloved by a generation, is not a "good" movie. What makes it work is knowing it is silly and allowing yourself to enjoy the weird blending of these two worlds.” – The Mary Sue Jul 20, 2021 Full Review Mortal Kombat (2021) 55% 3/5 EDIT “Mortal Kombat leaves you wanting more because there is just so much to explore, so many characters that we could see, that it is disappointing that it's over so quickly.” – The Mary Sue Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Godzilla vs. Kong is simple fun, with some great CGI and special effects.” – The Mary Sue Mar 30, 2021 Full Review Imagine Me & You (2005) 34% EDIT “It was nice seeing it not being either a traditional coming out story or inherently a gayangst story-just a love connection with bad timing that ends up working out, without turning anyone into a bad person.” – The Mary Sue Mar 10, 2021 Full Review Wolfwalkers (2020) 99% 5/5 EDIT “It is a truly beautiful exploration of the wild, family, and friendship that I look forward to watching, again and again, to pick out more of the details that were infused in this modern masterpiece.” – The Mary Sue Dec 15, 2020 Full Review Your Name (2016) 98% EDIT “Your Name is a beautiful movie, and if you haven't yet checked it out and want a movie about love with a lot of humor and fantastical elements, I would highly recommend it.” – The Mary Sue Nov 17, 2020 Full Review Miss Juneteenth (2020) 99% EDIT “The heart of this film is the love between Kai and Turquoise, it is their movie, as two women attempting to have something for themselves.” – The Mary Sue Jun 19, 2020 Full Review A Goofy Movie (1995) 64% EDIT “I'm always impressed when I revisit this film at how well it gets that feeling of teen/parent angst...” – The Mary Sue Apr 7, 2020 Full Review The Invisible Man (2020) 92% EDIT “What I love about this film (and horror in general) is how it can really be a voice for the marginalized experience when done thoughtfully.” – The Mary Sue Mar 4, 2020 Full Review The Lodge (2019) 75% EDIT “The Lodge is haunting and has moments of excellent dread.” – The Mary Sue Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) 79% 5/5 EDIT “I loved that. Birds of Prey is also only a glorious hour and forty minutes long, but doesn't feel rushed because there is so much story being told.” – The Mary Sue Feb 5, 2020 Full Review EMMA. (2020) 86% 3/5 EDIT “I think that if you have not seen any previous adaptations of Emma, this is a solid one that is well shot and has talented actors from across all your favorite British television dramas.” – The Mary Sue Feb 4, 2020 Full Review Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) 51% EDIT “In the end, I think one thing is fundamentally true about this sequel trilogy: the fact that they went in without a three-movie plan, directors who were communicating, and a story bible is a damn sin.” – The Mary Sue Dec 26, 2019 Full Review Little Women (2019) 95% 5/5 EDIT “This is probably the best film version of Little Women, and with it, Greta Gerwig has brought a new level of beauty, charm, and Amy March excellence to the story.” – The Mary Sue Dec 17, 2019 Full Review Black Christmas (2019) 41% EDIT “I think Black Christmas missed the mark by taking nearly every single talking point from the movement and throwing it into a script that is not paced well enough to really allow all these things to come together.” – The Mary Sue Dec 13, 2019 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% EDIT “There is something beautifully simplistic about Alien-the practical effects, the design of the alien, and how the tension just keeps ramping up.” – The Mary Sue Oct 18, 2019 Full Review Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) 40% 1.5/5 EDIT “The big problem with this sequel is that it covers a lot of issues that the it's unable to commit to properly handling, both tonally and structure-wise.” – The Mary Sue Oct 15, 2019 Full Review
