A Minecraft Movie
A Minecraft Movie left me feeling every bit of my age. This wasn’t made for me — and honestly, that’s okay.
Thunderbolts*
Starts like your typical Marvel movie—ends like superhero group therapy. Thunderbolts* digs into trauma and trust issues with surprising sincerity and a stellar cast
Saturday Night
Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night isn’t just a nostalgia trip; it’s a chaotic, behind-the-scenes sprint through the hours leading up to that very first live show that changed comedy—and late-night TV—forever.
Between the Temples
If Harold and Maude wandered into a contemporary synagogue and bumped into a Jewish grief-comedy, you’d land somewhere near Between the Temples.
Anora
Anora is a film that thrives not so much on its plot but on its ability to sidestep clichés. The "sex worker with a heart of gold" trope has been explored before, but it's been a while since a newcomer like Mikey Madison has brought so much life to a role with such an unapologetic and authentic performance.
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl was cute and funny, but it didn’t hit quite like the earlier installments.
Waitress: The Musical
Waitress: The Musical serves up heart, humor and a whole lot of Sara Bareilles soul. I didn’t walk away humming the songs—but I did walk away smiling.
You’re Cordially Invited
You’re Cordially Invited might actually be the plus-one you didn’t know you needed.
The Substance
The Substance demands—and seizes—your full attention, gripping you with its grotesque, shocking and undeniably unforgettable imagery.
Emilia Pérez
Emilia Pérez has an undeniably intriguing premise but manages to fumble nearly everything that could have made it great.
Nosferatu (2024)
Nosferatu is a gorgeous, atmospheric and deeply unsettling film that will stick with you long after the credits roll. But much like the count himself, it lingers a little too long in the dark.
It Ends with Us
It Ends with Us was exactly what I thought it would be—but just a little better. Think: elevated melodrama with a glossy sheen
Mufasa: The Lion King
Sometimes you go into a movie with zero expectations—and walk out… pleasantly surprised? That was the case with Mufasa: The Lion King.
The Family Stone
The Family Stone ends up being one of those movies I respect for its intent, but don’t quite understand its lasting holiday glow.
Rebel Ridge
If you like your action movies laced with a little social commentary and a whole lot of Southern grit, Rebel Ridge is absolutely worth your time.
