She Said (2022) 88% EDIT “The increible performances from Kazan and Mulligan (as well as a stellar supporting cast including Andre Braugher, Patricia Clarkson, and Jennifer Ehle) keep the movie grounded as we follow their intensely dogged boots-on-the-ground reporting.” – The Mary Sue Nov 18, 2022 Full Review Elvis (2022) 77% 2/5 EDIT “Butler’s entire performance is grounded with heart-wrenching emotional depth. That is, unfortunately, just about the only good thing I can say about Elvis, which is as glitzed-out and overstuffed as you’d expect from a Luhrmann film, but not in a fun way.” – The Mary Sue Jun 24, 2022 Full Review The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021) 67% EDIT “There is no question that this is Jessica Chastain's movie through and through.” – The Mary Sue Oct 12, 2021 Full Review Nobody (2021) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's a part we're so accustomed to [Odenkirk] playing that it makes the shift to legitimate action star utterly delightful, and the ease with which he shifts those gears is both unexpected and total perfection.” – The Mary Sue Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar (2021) 81% 3.5/5 EDIT “This movie is a lot, meaning there's a lot for everyone to enjoy. Even if you don't connect with everything there, it's a big swing, and we need more of those.” – The Mary Sue Feb 19, 2021 Full Review Derek DelGaudio's In & of Itself (2020) 100% 5/5 EDIT “In & Of Itself is a great balm for those of us missing live theatre, but it's also a stunning piece of cinema on its own. It's the kind of art that sticks with you afterwards.” – The Mary Sue Jan 27, 2021 Full Review Promising Young Woman (2020) 90% EDIT “There are no heroes in this movie, only people making choices, for better or (usually) for worse.” – The Mary Sue Dec 15, 2020 Full Review Freaky (2020) 84% EDIT “The movie isn't trying to convince us it's something new, it's just committed to being a great version of things we already love.” – The Mary Sue Nov 17, 2020 Full Review The Invisible Man (2020) 92% 4/5 EDIT “The movie has some plot holes, but none so massive that the audience isn't able to fill in the gaps, and it's so engaging that it earns itself enough goodwill for most viewers to not really mind.” – The Mary Sue Feb 27, 2020 Full Review John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch (2019) 96% EDIT “It's not tongue-in-cheek; it means everything it puts out there, but it makes sure the audience knows how absurd it is because children are absurd-genuinely, sincerely, seriously absurd. They're weird and deep and dark, and this is the show they deserve.” – The Mary Sue Jan 6, 2020 Full Review A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding (2018) 50% EDIT “A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding is standard, frivolous holiday fare: easily enjoyable and deliberately frivolous. But there are some unusually deep subjects at its core.” – The Mary Sue Dec 26, 2019 Full Review Knock Down the House (2019) 99% 4/4 EDIT “If the storytelling is a bit uneven, the story itself more than makes for it.” – The Mary Sue Dec 10, 2019 Full Review Midsommar (2019) 83% 4/5 EDIT “This is a movie that is designed to overwhelm your senses and to stay with you afterward and it very much succeeds in both of those things.” – The Mary Sue Jun 28, 2019 Full Review The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) 84% 4/5 EDIT “While this movie may not be as smart or subversive as its predecessor, it does still have those qualities in abundance. (It's also, arguably, just as funny.)” – The Mary Sue Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Eighth Grade (2018) 99% 5/5 EDIT “There's no doubt that watching Eighth Grade will remind you deeply of all the pains of adolescence, but the movie's relatability isn't just limited to that age, which might be what makes it such a transcendently heartbreaking experience.” – The Mary Sue Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018) 97% 5/5 EDIT “But he was good and kind he loved you, even if he'd never met you. This movie's ultimate message, like Rogers' himself, seems to be simply that that shouldn't be so hard to believe.” – The Mary Sue Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Incredibles 2 (2018) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “But the core of the movie is the family dynamic, so the somewhat lackluster antagonist does little to detract from that.” – The Mary Sue Jun 12, 2018 Full Review Ocean's 8 (2018) 69% 3/5 EDIT “For all it's failings, Ocean's 8 is still a nice piece of summer fluff. The disappointment is that was merely good, and not great.” – The Mary Sue Jun 7, 2018 Full Review Blockers (2018) 84% 4/5 EDIT “What makes it special is how few comedies, especially teen sex comedies, allow their female characters to be so fully developed, and to have relationships with their own sexuality, free of shame and stigma.” – The Mary Sue Apr 6, 2018 Full Review Ready Player One (2018) 71% 2.5/5 EDIT “The movie is wall-to-wall pop culture references, and while that's exhausting and tedious, it's also inevitable that you it will manage to push your own specific nostalgia buttons.” – The Mary Sue Mar 28, 2018 Full Review The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) 79% 2/5 EDIT “Buried somewhere inside The Man Who Invented Christmas, there's a really good movie.” – The Mary Sue Nov 22, 2017 Full Review Blade Runner 2049 (2017) 88% 4/5 EDIT “The tone? The giant scope? The philosophical underbelly? A compelling story? ... [T]he sequel lives up to its predecessor in all these ways and manages to stand on its own.” – The Mary Sue Oct 4, 2017 Full Review Wonder Woman (2017) 93% EDIT “Have no doubt, this movie does Wonder Woman justice, as well as her fans.” – The Mary Sue Jun 2, 2017 Full Review
