Red Rocket (2021) 90% EDIT “[Sean] Baker's gaze at his protagonist is nearly as sharp as his eye for strong compositions.” – The Spool Nov 28, 2021 Full Review The Master (2012) 85% EDIT “Hoffman conveys an emptiness that can only come from his character's awareness that he has made up that which he preaches.” – The Spool Nov 28, 2021 Full Review Ahed's Knee (2021) 74% EDIT “Indeed, if Lapid has translated one side of himself onto the screen here, it's his frustration with his nation, and his frustration with his own role as storyteller, not changemaker.” – The Spool Oct 13, 2021 Full Review The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) 93% EDIT “This synthesis of cinematic and theatrical leans towards the latter, producing an exciting and fascinating merger of mediums.” – The Spool Oct 4, 2021 Full Review Benedetta (2021) 84% EDIT “So while I admire Verhoeven's stubborn rejection of a simple, one-dimensional heroine, I can't help but wish we saw Benedetta a little more clearly.” – The Spool Sep 24, 2021 Full Review The First 54 Years: An Abbreviated Manual for Military Occupation (2021) 67% EDIT “The First 54 Years: An Abbreviated Manual For Military Occupation is about as worthwhile as merely showing up to a J-Street event.” – The Spool Sep 24, 2021 Full Review Punch-Drunk Love (2002) 79% EDIT “This may be P.T.A. and P.S.H.'s least successful pairing, but it's still great fun.” – The Spool Sep 14, 2021 Full Review Magnolia (1999) 82% EDIT “Something ineffable in Hoffman's mannerisms, in the way he listens, expresses more than just patience but warmth.” – The Spool Aug 18, 2021 Full Review Stillwater (2021) 75% EDIT “Damon's just an empty head to hold a baseball hat and some sunglasses.” – The Spool Aug 5, 2021 Full Review Mandibles (2020) 91% EDIT “In other words, Dupieux's commitment to being silly is admirable, but the resistance to making his silly meaningful is exhausting.” – The Spool Jul 22, 2021 Full Review Hard Eight (1996) 82% EDIT “We come to understand that Sydney is a living loose end, a vessel for his own regret, a man incapable of resolving the conflicts he's created.” – The Spool Jun 29, 2021 Full Review F9 The Fast Saga (2021) 59% EDIT “F9 clearly illustrates the paradox the Fast and Furious franchise has become: a reliably fun franchise still lacking in essential entries.” – The Spool Jun 23, 2021 Full Review A Most Wanted Man (2014) 86% EDIT “A Most Wanted Man is about as drab as it is inessential.” – The Spool Jun 4, 2021 Full Review A Late Quartet (2012) 77% EDIT “Hoffman knew how to hold back, how to use his screen-time to imply an interiority without a script that spells everything out.” – The Spool May 25, 2021 Full Review The Getaway (1994) 33% EDIT “[A] rancid waste of time.” – The Spool May 11, 2021 Full Review The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) 90% EDIT “In a decade full of hundred-million-dollar stinkers, CATCHING FIRE isn't just the peak of its franchise, but a compelling work in its own right.” – The Spool Apr 20, 2021 Full Review Strangers With Candy (2005) 51% EDIT “Strangers with Candy is almost entirely incomprehensible, which wouldn't necessarily be a problem if it wasn't so constantly offensive.” – The Spool Apr 13, 2021 Full Review God's Pocket (2014) 36% EDIT “This might sound harsh, but God's Pocket is a movie that has no business existing.” – The Spool Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Shiva Baby (2020) 96% EDIT “Instead of one slow burn, Seligman structures her film around a series of crescendos, an escalating series of breaking points that'll have you gasping for breath.” – The Spool Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Owning Mahowny (2003) 78% EDIT “There's not much to root for one way or another, not much tension across the film's admirably tight runtime.” – The Spool Mar 29, 2021 Full Review Pirate Radio (2009) 59% EDIT “The camera in Pirate Radio won't stop wobbling - it's so damn annoying.” – The Spool Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Money for Nothing (1993) 20% EDIT “The problem here is that Menendez keeps steering this story into slapstick, when it's really quite tragic.” – The Spool Mar 2, 2021 Full Review Next Stop Wonderland (1998) 73% EDIT “Together, they make a film that doesn't really add up to its influences.” – The Spool Feb 24, 2021 Full Review Love Liza (2002) 55% EDIT “Love Liza's success can be traced back to Hoffman's uncompromising exploration of irreconcilable pain.” – The Spool Feb 18, 2021 Full Review Patch Adams (1998) 22% EDIT “Patch Adams is full of shit. I truly can't think of a better way to describe it.” – The Spool Feb 9, 2021 Full Review
