Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) 95% EDIT “[Road to Revenge] constantly feels as if it’s evoking something larger, some greater world or action set piece that could give meaning to it all, but that never quite materializes — and never really existed in the first place.” – In Review Online Dec 3, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “It’s the capitalist realist thriller par excellence, fully working through the logic of the market and playing out its sickest fantasies.” – In Review Online Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Honey Don't! (2025) 45% EDIT “[Not] a movie we need, but it’s one that’s alright for us to have... It’s pleasant, yet never overly so, and these days, with cinema as bland as it is, Honey Don’t!‘s messiness feels like a virtue.” – In Review Online Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Mother and Daughter, or the Night Is Never Complete (2024) EDIT “Mother and Daughter weaves together a story of how politics, history, motherhood, and filmmaking intersected across their various lives.” – In Review Online Dec 5, 2024 Full Review A Different Man (2024) 93% EDIT “Luckily, any quibbles with the film are minor... because what’s at the heart of the film isn’t really its identity politics, but a Kafkaesque sense of paranoia.” – In Review Online Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Problemista (2023) 85% EDIT “If only Torres, a natural fabulist with a keen sense of deadpan absurdity, realized how stultifying, patronizing, and boring moralizing can be.” – In Review Online Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Hesitation Wound (2023) 83% EDIT “Nacar builds a remarkable amount of tension in a very simple dramatic framework. What’s most effective about Hesitation Wound is also Nacar’s refusal to ever let this tension uncoil and the pressure subside.” – In Review Online Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Hajjan (2023) EDIT “At the end of the day, something as superficially routine and familiar as Hajjan succeeds almost entirely through this craftsmanship.” – In Review Online Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Strange Way of Life (2023) 78% EDIT “[Strange Way of Life] feels so listless and underdeveloped that it makes you question why it was ever made in the first place. ” – In Review Online Oct 5, 2023 Full Review John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) 94% EDIT “It might be something of a criticism to note that this critic never cared a lick about... plot, but it’s also a compliment to note that it doesn’t much matter... the film actually thoroughly works on a scene by scene level.” – In Review Online Mar 24, 2023 Full Review Triangle of Sadness (2022) 72% EDIT “The sum total of the film’s chapters equals a general portrait of petty human cruelty more than any distinct class analysis.” – Screen Slate Oct 16, 2022 Full Review White Noise (2022) 64% EDIT “White Noise is populated with hammy, over-the-top performances, turning many of DeLillo’s bizarre, thought-provoking characters ... into two-dimensional cartoons.” – In Review Online Oct 6, 2022 Full Review The Story of Film: A New Generation (2022) 93% EDIT “[Cousins] aesthetic commentary and analysis, delivered through voiceover in the same monotone as the first film, is consistently clunky and half-cooked.” – In Review Online Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Full Contact (1992) 89% EDIT “Lam deploys ... well-worn plot machinations as if he was reciting a mantra, letting the repetition of already familiar tropes guide the film toward an almost spiritual ideal of pure sensation and style.” – In Review Online Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Project Space 13 (2021) 89% EDIT “In a cinema-landscape where even American indies about regional working-class issues are star-studded, multi-million dollar exercises in faux-realism, this is nothing short of refreshing.” – Screen Slate Jan 10, 2022 Full Review
