Babylon – Film Review
Babylon is a visual feast and a technical marvel filled with fun cameos, even if it can stumble along the way due to its absurdly long running time and lack of clear focus.
When You Finish Saving the World – Film Review
Finn Wolfhard and Julianne Moore are excellent in When You Finish Saving the World, a decently enjoyable coming-of-age comedy-drama that serves as a solid showcase for Jesse Eisenberg as a director.
Missing – Film Review
Inventive, captivating, and scarily plausible, Missing is an excellent exercise in pure tension, written and directed masterfully by Nick Johnson and Will Merrick and featuring a strong lead performance from Storm Reid.
Before Midnight – Film Review
Emotionally moving, heart-wrenching, and uplifting all at once, Before Midnight is a dazzling finish to Richard Linklater’s trilogy of romantic dramas.
Before Sunset – Film Review
Before Sunset is a mesmerizing follow-up to its predecessor, complete with incredible dialogue, superb direction from Richard Linklater, and featuring understated performances from Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.
Dog Gone – Film Review
Dog Gone is a hugely lazy family comedy that suffers from poor pacing, an all-too familiar story, and an impressively bland script that goes nowhere.
The Outfit – Film Review
Mark Rylance is terrific in The Outfit – an impressively entertaining and wonderfully directed psychological crime thriller drama, even if it does suffer from its fair share of issues.
Causeway – Film Review
Lila Neugebauer’s Causeway is a powerful, emotional film that excellently explores complex themes with a strong sense of compassion and understanding.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire – Film Review
Céline Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a beautifully intimate historical romantic drama brimming with detail, and acted impeccably by Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel.
White Noise – Film Review
With a convoluted script that can’t tackle the raw emotions and themes of its source material, White Noise is unfortunately, Noah Baumbach’s first disappointment.
