The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) 28% EDIT “Stone’s application of high-Hitchcockian gloss to this revamped tale of class paranoia works impressively well. ” – Slate Oct 14, 2025 Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% EDIT “Columbus’ touch as a filmmaker is always heavy. Where Osman is tender—particularly in his depiction of Elizabeth’s relationship to Stephen—Columbus is merely sentimental.” – Slate Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Echo Valley (2025) 52% EDIT “Echo Valley is a serviceable thriller with an outlandish twist at the end, but the plot often seems at war with what feels like the movie’s true interest: Kate, a woman poleaxed by love.” – Slate Jun 23, 2025 Full Review The Pigeon Tunnel (2023) 96% EDIT “[A] cagey, brilliant film...” – Slate Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Emily (2022) 87% EDIT “[Brontë] deserves more than this biopic’s utter lack of interest in the very thing that made her immortal. Emily is a movie about “writing” that’s forgotten how to read.” – Slate Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) 34% EDIT “The same ethical solipsism that enabled Owens’ past adventures abroad presides over Crawdads, and Newman’s film can’t escape it, either.” – Slate Jul 15, 2022 Full Review Spiderhead (2022) 39% EDIT “Soon... it becomes obvious that this film won’t have the courage of Saunders’ story.” – Slate Jun 18, 2022 Full Review Go Fish (1994) 76% 4/4 EDIT “Completely fresh and unselfconscious.” – San Francisco Examiner Aug 25, 2021 Full Review The Glorias (2020) 67% EDIT “There are a thousand ways to thoroughly enjoy a not-especially-good film, and Julie Taymor's The Glorias offers up one of them.” – Slate Oct 2, 2020 Full Review Shirley (2020) 88% EDIT “For all its inaccuracies and elisions, Shirley really does get at its namesake's ambivalence about domesticity and marriage.” – Slate Jun 2, 2020 Full Review The Little Stranger (2018) 64% EDIT “The film just glumly proceeds.” – Slate Aug 30, 2018 Full Review The Handmaiden (2016) 96% EDIT “Both actresses deliver vivid, tender performances; they generate all the movie's fire, but they're obliged to do it inside a chilly, ritualized framework, the aesthetic equivalent of a softcore mausoleum.” – Slate Oct 20, 2016 Full Review Anonymous (2011) 47% EDIT “By attempting to weave the fancies of the Oxfordians into a coherent narrative, Anonymous does highlight the over-the-top melodrama inherent in anti-Stratfordianism itself.” – Salon.com Oct 27, 2011 Full Review Love and Diane (2002) 97% EDIT “An intimate and finely textured portrait of several messed-up lives.” – Salon.com Apr 18, 2003 Full Review The Safety of Objects (2001) 49% EDIT “Glenn Close leads a terrific ensemble cast in Rose Troche's haunting epic of suburban life, fueled by Barbie, Pop-Tarts and God's wicked sense of humor.” – Salon.com Mar 7, 2003 Full Review Stone Reader (2002) 83% EDIT “What Stone Reader offers that's new is its portrayal of reading not as a supremely civilized and soulful activity but as a lonely, thwarting and sometimes painfully embarrassing one.” – Salon.com Feb 14, 2003 Full Review Blade II (2002) 57% EDIT “Why spend $9 on the same stuff you can get for a buck or so in that greasy little vidgame pit in the theater lobby?” – Salon.com Mar 22, 2002 Full Review Pi (1998) 88% EDIT “The movie's low-budget look neatly matches the claustrophobia of Max's life, but the filmmakers have also devised some special shooting methods for certain scenes. These sequences -- breathless and jangly chases, for the most part -- look terrific.” – Salon.com Dec 19, 2001 Full Review Finding Forrester (2000) 74% EDIT “A conventional stew of overblown, bogus emotion and rigged catharsis.” – Salon.com Jan 11, 2001 Full Review City of Angels (1998) 57% EDIT “Although City of Angels sometimes dances perilously close to the line between romance and schmaltz, it never crosses it, a nifty maneuver when you consider that the story deals with both love and spirituality, two areas land-mined with cant.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Fargo (1996) 94% EDIT “The danger in portraying characters you consider significantly less interesting than yourself is that too much superiority and not enough affection can lead to a fatal snottiness.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Third Man (1949) 99% EDIT “It seemed like the creation of a sensibility terribly old and wise, and most of all very European; it was the very essence of world-weary sophistication.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) 73% EDIT “The movie fails to live up to its promise.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Rendezvous in Paris (1995) 78% EDIT “Rohmer proves that sometimes shriveled fruit yields the strongest juice, provided you squeeze hard enough.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Mumford (1999) 58% EDIT “Mumford is a movie full of insightful moments, and some of them are even pure therapy.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
