Knock Down the House (2019) 99% EDIT “If anything, filmmakers could have spent more time with these organizations... Instead, one gets the sense [Rachel] Lears, like the viewer, was swept up into capturing Ocasio-Cortez' near mythic rise.” – Refinery29 Dec 10, 2019 Full Review Klaus (2019) 95% EDIT “Klaus manages to be a genuinely original Christmas movie.” – Refinery29 Nov 25, 2019 Full Review The Legend of Cocaine Island (2018) 78% EDIT “To put it simply, Cocaine Island is blisteringly hilarious.” – Refinery29 Apr 2, 2019 Full Review The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974) 90% EDIT “It would be worth taking an hour and having a cookie with Sad Santa, just so he could tell us how to restore our own faith in humanity after this not-so-merry year.” – Refinery29 Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Mary Shelley (2018) 40% EDIT “Mary Shelley isn't a perfect movie...But the movie performs an important task: It gets people eager to learn more about Shelley, one of the most fascinating women in English history.” – Refinery29 May 31, 2018 Full Review Bright (2017) 26% EDIT “Bright did not care about its women characters - though clearly, [Noomi] Rapace and [Lucy] Fry did. It's a shame the movie's script wasn't strong enough to communicate all the work they had done to fill out their characters' backgrounds.” – Refinery29 Dec 28, 2017 Full Review The Shape of Water (2017) 92% EDIT “Want a picture of the culture Weinstein refers to? Watch The Shape of Water. Meet Richard Strickland.” – Refinery29 Dec 6, 2017 Full Review Across the Universe (2007) 53% EDIT “Logically, I know that love isn't all you need. For the hour and a half I spent rewatching Across the Universe, though, I thought it was.” – Refinery29 Oct 24, 2017 Full Review Good Time (2017) 91% EDIT “But this isn't Edward Cullen; this is Connie Nikas. He's the manipulative, selfish, absolutely electric antagonist of a movie that will bury itself under my skin just as much as that one scene did.” – Refinery29 Oct 3, 2017 Full Review Ingrid Goes West (2017) 84% EDIT “Ingrid Goes West never gives our protagonist a moment of enlightenment, during which she realizes social media is the source of all of her problems (spoiler: it's not). I don't expect that moment to arrive for me, either.” – Refinery29 Oct 3, 2017 Full Review American Made (2017) 85% EDIT “Looking back, it seemed that Barry Seal lived his life so that, one day, it could be adapted into a film. That's just how wild it was.” – Refinery29 Sep 27, 2017 Full Review Battle of the Sexes (2017) 84% EDIT “Unlike the election, you'll be able to cheer while watching Battle of the Sexes.” – Refinery29 Sep 21, 2017 Full Review It (2017) 85% EDIT “The kids don't need a clown to scare them - their parents are villainous enough.” – Refinery29 Sep 14, 2017 Full Review Wind River (2017) 87% EDIT “In Wind River, you'll be forced to watch, and you'll be forced to listen. After all, as extreme and disturbing as the events depicted in Wind River are, they're not fantastical.” – Refinery29 Aug 4, 2017 Full Review An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power (2017) 80% EDIT “An Inconvenient Sequel is an inconvenient reminder that our government is no longer committed to ensuring our planet's future.” – Refinery29 Jul 28, 2017 Full Review Ghost in the Shell (2017) 43% EDIT “Ghost in the Shell may be a spectacle for the ages, but its casting broke the magnificent spell of visual storytelling for me.” – Refinery29 Jun 28, 2017 Full Review The Circle (2017) 16% EDIT “In severely under-developing the women's friendship, The Circle missed out on an opportunity to root an unbelievable story in the relatable, murky trenches of loyalty, jealousy, and intimacy.” – Refinery29 Jun 28, 2017 Full Review Unforgettable (2017) 29% EDIT “Unforgettable's shallow characterization and ill-conceived resurrection of the offensive "crazy woman" trope does all of us a disservice.” – Refinery29 Jun 28, 2017 Full Review Casting JonBenét (2017) 81% EDIT “No recreation can bring us closer to the truth, but perhaps this weird work of art can.” – Refinery29 Jun 28, 2017 Full Review Patti Cake$ (2017) 86% EDIT “Patti Cake$ is a great movie. But for someone who also grew up with big dreams in New Jersey, it's downright cathartic.” – Refinery29 Jun 27, 2017 Full Review The Discovery (2017) 48% EDIT “With its lofty twists and aching questions, philosophy - not people - becomes The Discovery's most interesting feature.” – Refinery29 Jun 27, 2017 Full Review My Cousin Rachel (2017) 76% EDIT “So, though the film cranks through its dastardly plot with leering Hitchcockian suspense, the drama My Cousin Rachel is also a bleak comedy about people who make ridiculous mistakes at the altar of love.” – Refinery29 Jun 27, 2017 Full Review The Little Hours (2017) 78% EDIT “With its timeless approach to comedy, I found The Little Hours delivered a brief balm to the frantic, 24/7 news cycle awaiting outside the theater.” – Refinery29 Jun 26, 2017 Full Review Baby Driver (2017) 92% EDIT “After seeing Baby Driver, every other action movie - no matter the high production value and star power - will just seem lazy.” – Refinery29 Jun 26, 2017 Full Review
