Sherin Nicole

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Sherin Nicole is a pop-culture pundit, an author, and might be a covert agent. The CIA offered her a college scholarship, but Sherin is too secretive for espionage. Since graduating from Howard University she has worked in a variety of creative spheres as a brand and marketing specialist. As an ‘agent raconteur,’ her musings appear on Geek Girl Riot / RIOT-US.com, idobi Radio, RogerEbert.com, Blcklst.com, and AWFJ (Alliance of Women Film Journalists). Sherin contributes to a variety of outlets where she gets nerdy about storytelling in every format.

Movies TV Shows
Pillion (2025) 100% EDIT “A sharp-edged comedy about how first love can teach us to better love ourselves.” – RIOTUS Feb 6, 2026 Full Review If I Go Will They Miss Me (2026) 100% EDIT “IIGWTMM glides on the wings of myth, memory, and misfortune, transforming the everyday ache of a boy whose father can’t see past his own pain, into a lyrical meditation on boys and men in the hood—and the hope of breaking generational cycles.” – RIOTUS Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Lady (2026) 92% EDIT “LADY is a film about buried rage and repercussions, but also the choices we make when options are limited...Olive Nwosu repeatedly spins our point of view, daring us to see Lady, Pinky, and Sugar with fresh eyes. The same way she challenges Lady herself.” – RIOTUS Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Hold Onto Me (2026) EDIT “You find contentment in watching and listening to this pair: one who’s looking for a hero and the other needing a reason to be one. Most cleverly, director and screenwriter Aristidou never lets you guess which is which. Neither do Iris or Aris.” – AWFJ.org Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! (2026) 92% EDIT “Despite its sometimes unfiltered extravagance, Ha-chan, Shake Your Booty! is a guiltily cathartic case of a woman stumbling through grief while tripping the light fantastic.” – AWFJ.org Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Extra Geography (2026) 100% EDIT “Extra Geography is a gleefully glib English boarding school satire that tumbles down a tangled path. ” – AWFJ.org Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Josephine (2026) 97% EDIT “The descent into darkness in Josephine is nothing short of devastating, but like the family at its center, it also searches for the light.” – RIOTUS Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “SEND HELP is an effective blood-soaked harpooning of office politics in a top dog versus underdog comedy-thriller. This is for those who want a twisty, aggressive, genre-blending survival nightmare with its eyebrow arched at gender and class dynamics.” – RIOTUS Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “Avatar: Fire and Ash digs its nails into its cautionary tale and draws blood. ” – RIOTUS Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “The past rises, and faith is tested in this haunting, sublimely lit, and gorgeously gothic Knives Out Mystery.” – RIOTUS Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “While its messaging is worthwhile, ETERNITY has no daring, let alone the thrill of eternal love.” – RIOTUS Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% EDIT “On the strength of its sensitivities, Zootopia 2 is applause-worthy on multiple levels... The bunny-and-fox cops leave no doubts, this udderly human and hilarious harpooning of societal ills is the G.O.A.T. of 21st-century fables.” – Geek Girl Riot Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% EDIT “Is This Thing On? is a bittersweet, comedic journey through divorce, self-discovery, and the healing power of finding "your thing."” – Geek Girl Riot Nov 24, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% EDIT “ In Your Dreams is more focused on its themes and jokes than on telling a story that connects them to each other or to us. Is it sweet? Yes. Does it have meaning? For sure. But it’s all plot, no story, and that’s not dreamy.” – RIOTUS Nov 15, 2025 Full Review Little Amélie or the Character of Rain (2025) 98% EDIT “It must have been a child who discovered we’re the heroes of our own stories. LITTLE AMÉLIE captures that revelation in vivid animation, like a storybook set free to run feral and fantastical.” – RIOTUS Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Billy Idol Should Be Dead (2025) EDIT “From gorgeously crisp interviews—in rich black and glowing white—to lush but cheeky animated sequences that play out like fever dreams, weaving...its portrait of a man who’s danced with death too many times, yet emerged not just alive but truly living.” – AWFJ.org Nov 3, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% EDIT “Loneliness loosens its grip through thematic ‘touch therapy’ in Rental Family, a film where life is a multiverse of finding yourself in other people” – Geek Girl Riot Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% EDIT “Roofman gestures at deeper themes—workplace bullies, charismatic church leaders, the idiocy of crime, and the ache of human desperation—but it sags without smooth transitions or the fervor to get really funny or truly messy.” – RIOTUS Oct 16, 2025 Full Review After the Hunt (2025) 37% EDIT “The first half yanks us into its morally gray manipulations with a suspense bordering on fear; halfway through, the tension flags and the psychological thrills deflate into a slice of academic life. By then, if After the Hunt has a point, it's a dull one.” – RIOTUS Oct 9, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% EDIT “TRON: ARES is a gorgeously hollow cyberpunk shell, mostly just the echoes of its inspirations and some great Nine Inch Nails.” – RIOTUS Oct 8, 2025 Full Review A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) 75% EDIT “A House of Dynamite feels like a thriller that's also a precognitive documentary, and the sense of terror is in the room with us right now.” – RIOTUS Sep 30, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% EDIT “The Roses is a diabolically petty and delightfully demented evisceration of love and divorce that lets the insides pour out.” – RIOTUS Aug 25, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% EDIT “Highest 2 Lowest embodies its name, with some dialogue lows and the highs of a cinematic, nearly mythical “impossible choice,” one that tests the scales of love & family against money & power.” – Geek Girl Riot Aug 21, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% EDIT “Finally, the first family of Marvel is everything they’re meant to be in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and it’s super cute, brave, bold, and hopeful. ” – Geek Girl Riot Jul 22, 2025 Full Review 40 Acres (2024) 89% EDIT “...offering a vision that is as much about what we inherit as what we endure. 40 Acres is a rare bloom in the thematic post-apocalyptic landscape: sharp, singular, soulful, and stubbornly alive.” – RIOTUS Jul 9, 2025 Full Review
