Black Box (2020) 72% EDIT “There's so little to say about Black Box's characters or themes because the script is wearily ornamented around a single, lackluster twist.” – Pajiba Oct 7, 2020 Full Review The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open (2019) 97% EDIT “When a movie is packed with this much craft and topical import...I feel obligated as a film fan to tell as many people as possible about the cinematic experience they may be missing out on.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Dec 3, 2019 Full Review Queen & Slim (2019) 82% EDIT “The film wants so badly to inspire and impart meaning that it forgets to include interiority and nuance.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Burning Cane (2019) 91% EDIT “At nineteen years old, Phillip Youmans has made an authentic drama that a lot of indie directors would still be striving for on their second or third feature.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 28, 2019 Full Review Blood Quantum (2019) 90% EDIT “One reason why Jeff Barnaby's First Nations zombie-fighting thriller Blood Quantum is so magnificent is because it blends a well-worn genre with a refreshing, lived-in sense of indigenous heritage.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Motherless Brooklyn (2019) 65% EDIT “Unfortunately, Norton's noir opus is a mixed bag of big ideas and generic themes, stifled by an even more generic presentation.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Zombi Child (2019) 85% EDIT “Zombi Child ends strongly, telling a powerful story of generational trauma, and re-codifying the meaning of the zombie for new thematic resonance.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 30, 2019 Full Review Iron Fists and Kung Fu Kicks (2019) 88% EDIT “A highly enjoyable and moderately informative documentary about the history of kung fu cinema.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 27, 2019 Full Review The Platform (2019) 81% EDIT “The Platform is my favorite kind of genre film: one that presents a completely fantastical idea, grounds it with a kind of internal logic, and then propels that idea to its psychological and emotional extremes.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Sweetheart (2019) 95% EDIT “Sweetheart has a lot of good things going for it.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 23, 2019 Full Review The Antenna (2019) 55% EDIT “The Antenna is way too simple to warrant the time and attention it begs of its audience.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 23, 2019 Full Review In the Shadow of the Moon (2019) 59% EDIT “The most troubling part about In the Shadow of the Moon is how boring it is, but coming in at a close second is its dreadful thematic content.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Sep 23, 2019 Full Review 1BR (2019) 89% EDIT “1BR is the type of horror film that I live for, one that's grounded in character, with tense, dramatically unfolding set-pieces, and scenes that make me squirm with equal parts terror and delight.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Aug 9, 2019 Full Review Killerman (2019) 32% EDIT “Without the interesting character work or genuine misanthropy of those films, the grittiness of this Liam Hemsworth-vehicle just isn't that convincing.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Jul 25, 2019 Full Review One Bedroom (2017) EDIT “1BR is the type of horror film that I live for, one that's grounded in character, with tense, dramatically unfolding set-pieces, and scenes that make me squirm with equal parts terror and delight.” – Birth.Movies.Death. Jul 22, 2019 Full Review Sons of Denmark (Danmarks sønner) (2019) 67% EDIT “A film that examines terror-driven violence in all of its most seductive forms.” – Birth.Movies.Death.
