Revoir Paris (2022) 94% B+ EDIT “Illuminated by a masterful performance by French actress Virginie Efira, Revoir Paris makes the unimaginable experience of surviving a violent attack beautifully real and painfully universal.” – IndieWire Jun 26, 2023 Full Review No Hard Feelings (2023) 71% C- EDIT “The ridiculous scenarios are obviously meant to be funny, but they mostly feel contrived and arrive out of the blue, with little build-up to sudden forced outrageous.” – IndieWire Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Transition (2023) 100% A- EDIT “An astonishing documentary that merges the geopolitical with the personal.” – IndieWire Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Chasing Chasing Amy (2023) 94% B EDIT “All the pieces are there in Chasing Chasing Amy, but it all proved a bit unwieldy for what is essentially a Kevin Smith fan film, albeit a charming one.” – IndieWire Jun 13, 2023 Full Review Blue Jean (2022) 96% A- EDIT “Featuring a stirring breakout performance from the luminous Rosy McEwan, “Blue Jean” grounds the political with the personal — without losing sight of queer joy.” – IndieWire Jun 9, 2023 Full Review Creatura (2023) 93% B+ EDIT “It’s provocative, yes, but not overly titillating. Gimeno’s film is honest about the way girls are alienated from their own desires at every stage of development. ” – IndieWire May 25, 2023 Full Review About My Father (2023) 37% B EDIT “Secure in his standing as a marquis comedian, Maniscalco makes movies like a guy with nothing to prove, and his confidence buoys and brightens “About My Father.”” – IndieWire May 25, 2023 Full Review Fast X (2023) 56% C+ EDIT “[It's] engaging in the oldest trick in the book, using flamboyance (read: queerness) to signal evil. Pitted against the raging paternalism of Dom Toretto’s singular guiding purpose to protect his family at all costs, the moral edict is crystal clear.” – IndieWire May 17, 2023 Full Review You Can Live Forever (2022) 91% C+ EDIT “Though the well-crafted film makes use of a unique regional setting for some moving moments, its straightforward approach to well-worn territory offers few surprises. ” – IndieWire May 3, 2023 Full Review Mafia Mamma (2023) 21% B- EDIT “Collette is in her comedic prime flirting shamelessly and obliviously with a man who wants her dead, and it’s easy to enjoy when she is having so much fun herself. ” – IndieWire Apr 12, 2023 Full Review How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2022) 95% C- EDIT “An ensemble drama too diluted to meaningfully establish any characters, How to Blow Up a Pipeline relies on tension-building music and chaotic flashbacks to piece together its one-trick heist narrative. ” – IndieWire Apr 10, 2023 Full Review Paint (2023) 31% C- EDIT “McAdams presents a head-scratching and tone-deaf image of the beloved TV personality. With nary a plot point in sight besides a light rivalry and an old flame, Wilson must cling for dear life to the caricatured portrait of the hapless small town hero.” – IndieWire Apr 7, 2023 Full Review A Good Person (2023) 57% C- EDIT “Though Pugh valiantly muscles through the melancholy beats of Braff’s melodrama, there are too many other characters and plot threads to allow her to do much besides heave the story forward.” – IndieWire Mar 22, 2023 Full Review Cora Bora (2023) 78% C+ EDIT “With a thinly sketched premise and a Hail Mary pass at emotional depth arriving late in the final act, the film feels like a series of vignettes draped around Stalter’s charms. Unfortunately, charisma alone doesn’t make an interesting narrative.” – IndieWire Mar 13, 2023 Full Review Parachute (2023) 83% C- EDIT “With men’s stories crowding most of film history, a host of untapped material awaits the burgeoning genre of the messy young woman. As with all familiar stories, however, it’s all too easy to court cliché -- even when trying so hard to flout conventions.” – IndieWire Mar 13, 2023 Full Review Caterpillar (2023) 100% B EDIT “Caterpillar holds a cunning mirror up to technology’s effect on everyday life, where we are bombarded with images of ourselves whether we like it or not.” – IndieWire Mar 13, 2023 Full Review Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre (2023) 51% B- EDIT “As the ever-reliable Jason Statham and Hugh Grant go head to head, Plaza steals the show with her killer instincts and comedic timing. If she can keep an operation this overstuffed afloat, there’s nothing she cannot do.” – IndieWire Mar 1, 2023 Full Review Juniper (2021) 94% B EDIT “The movie holds back at every potential dramatic turn, gripping the emotional reins tight where it could have loosened them. But Rampling brings a quiet gravitas to the surly character.” – IndieWire Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Cocaine Bear (2023) 65% B- EDIT “Keri Russell and Ray Liotta add A-list appeal to this B movie cash grab, as director Elizabeth Banks proves she knows what audiences want.” – IndieWire Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Perpetrator (2023) 79% B- EDIT “There are satisfying genre elements, to be sure, Perpetrator cannot be accused of playing it safe. ” – IndieWire Feb 18, 2023 Full Review Consecration (2023) 42% B- EDIT “Jena Malone brings a biting charm to her portrayal of Grace, but the story’s straightforward revelations end up feeling far too muted for the holy surroundings.” – IndieWire Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023) 48% B EDIT “The plot doesn’t need to do much, and it hangs together long enough to deliver a truly spectacular dance show. The motley crew of beloved B-list actors are missed, but in their place we get real bona fide dancers. ” – IndieWire Feb 7, 2023 Full Review Love in the Time of Fentanyl (2022) 100% B EDIT “The film eschews a journalistic documentary style for a more achievable verité approach, which is initially engaging but leaves something to be desired.” – IndieWire Feb 4, 2023 Full Review KOKOMO CITY (2023) 99% A- EDIT “Smith’s music and photography instincts carry the film cinematically, but the real stars of Kokomo City are its honest and dynamic subjects.” – IndieWire Jan 27, 2023 Full Review Mutt (2023) 89% B EDIT “With three people from Feña’s past pulling him in different directions, “Mutt” sometimes meanders off course, but it manages to string together some beautiful moments in between.” – IndieWire Jan 24, 2023 Full Review
