Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023) 99% EDIT “It has taken 52 years for Judy Blume’s beloved middle-grade novel, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, to finally make it to the big screen, and writer/director Kelly Fremon Craig’s heartfelt adaptation is well worth the wait.” – Bust Magazine Apr 28, 2023 Full Review The Glorias (2020) 67% EDIT “Poignant and intimate, the narrative isn't afraid to take its time, flowing between decades and locales as if in a free-associative dream state.” – Bust Magazine Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Sword of Trust (2019) 94% 4/5 EDIT “The improv aspect makes the pacing and dialogue feel a bit unpolished at times, but the overall impact is pleasurable and delightfully weird.” – Bust Magazine Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Bettie Page Reveals All (2011) 72% EDIT “[Bettie] Page's most striking feature, aside from her obvious beauty, is her humility: she truly doesn't get why people think she's so great. But you will after watching this riveting film.” – Bust Magazine Aug 11, 2017 Full Review Advanced Style (2014) 89% EDIT “At turns bold, brash, vulnerable, and heartbreakingly honest, these veterans of the concrete jungle trust and confide in the camera in ways that few interview subjects are brave enough to attempt.” – Bust Magazine Aug 11, 2017 Full Review The Ghosts in Our Machine (2013) 64% EDIT “This sense of global shift-of an old world order being cleverly undermined by a newer, more compassionate one-permeates [Liz] Marshall's graphic, often upsetting meditation on how the animal kingdom is used and abused by humanity at large.” – Bust Magazine Aug 11, 2017 Full Review Sisters (2015) 60% EDIT “Sisters, like Bridesmaids before it, is a welcome reminder that when world-class women get a chance to helm a big-budget comedy, everybody wins.” – Bust Magazine Mar 8, 2017 Full Review Tammy (2014) 24% EDIT “The plotline is simple and flexible enough to allow for lots of hilarious detours.” – Bust Magazine Mar 8, 2017 Full Review Magic in the Moonlight (2014) 52% EDIT “Of course Firth and Stone are both undeniably charming, and Allen is a master of sumptuous settings. But when it comes time for the film's budding central relationship to bloom, audiences tired of Allen's schtick will be left cold.” – Bust Magazine Mar 8, 2017 Full Review Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) 86% EDIT “Some films are so deeply cool, you feel cool by association just basking in their flickering glow.” – Bust Magazine Mar 8, 2017 Full Review Eat Pray Love (2010) 34% EDIT “This gentle, meditative, well-told tale has a lot to offer.” – Bust Magazine Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Dark Shadows (2012) 35% EDIT “It's thrilling to have this often-overlooked gem of popular culture revived on such a huge scale.” – Bust Magazine Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Bachelorette (2012) 58% EDIT “Bridesmaids it's not.” – Bust Magazine Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Jane Eyre (2011) 85% EDIT “A visually beautiful, big-budget rendering of a timeless classic, Jane Eyre is certainly eye candy for fans of the gothic love story.” – Bust Magazine Oct 7, 2016 Full Review Red Riding Hood (2011) 10% EDIT “Terminally stiff.” – Bust Magazine Oct 7, 2016 Full Review Date Night (2010) 67% EDIT “One can only fantasize about what a comedy starring Fey and Carrell would be like if the pair did the writing as well.” – Bust Magazine Oct 7, 2016 Full Review The Runaways (2010) 68% EDIT “A full-throttle joyride through fame's treacherous trenches.” – Bust Magazine Oct 7, 2016 Full Review The Beaches of Agnès (2008) 96% EDIT “This film is a great introduction to the work of an artist well worth discovering.” – Bust Magazine Oct 7, 2016 Full Review The Girl on the Train (2016) 44% EDIT “It's a treat to see a masterful actor like Emily Blunt carry an entire film. Unfortunately, the subtle character development that fueled the novel, especially in regards to the supporting characters, wasn't able to make the jump from page to screen.” – Bust Magazine Oct 7, 2016 Full Review Author: The JT LeRoy Story (2016) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Albert provides so much incredible primary-source material to support her wild tale of success and scorn, one might suppose she's been preparing all her life for such a documentary to be made.” – Bust Magazine Oct 5, 2016 Full Review Sex and the City 2 (2010) 16% EDIT “A frothy, meandering tale that's light in the intellectual loafers, but entertainingly told.” – Bust Magazine Jun 1, 2010 Full Review The Women (2008) 13% 1.5/4 EDIT “Please Hollywood: write truthfully for us, and from the heart. It's what Carrie Bradshaw would do.” – Premiere Magazine Sep 12, 2008 Full Review Mamma Mia! (2008) 55% 2.5/4 EDIT “Before plunking down your cash for a ride on the Mamma Mia! express when it pulls into town, just ask yourself one question: Do I really dig ABBA?” – Premiere Magazine Jul 18, 2008 Full Review
