Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018)

Drama Rated R

“…immensely sad, the story of a woman who deep down desires companionship but just isn’t wired to accept it.”

Suspiria (1977)

Horror Rated R

“…a collection of ghoulish, creative impulses rather than a coherent story.”

Private Life (2018)

Drama Rated NR

“…looks at life’s challenges with an unblinking eye that occasionally sneaks in a wink.”

The Land of Steady Habits (2018)

Drama Rated NR

“…has far too few of the acutely observed moments that make Holofcener so special as a filmmaker.”

Halloween (2018)

Horror Rated R

“…clumsily stumbles into feminist significance in its final moments.”

Hold the Dark (2018)

Horror Rated NR

“A werewolf movie that isn’t a werewolf movie, but really kind of is…”

First Man (2018)

Drama Rated PG-13

“…both admires and interrogates individual exceptionalism.”

Wings (1927)

Action/Adventure Rated NR

“…captures an airborne sense of elation.”

Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench (2009)

“…an all-out weepie, and something of a false one.”

Recent Reviews

Toy Story 5 (2026)

Family Rated PG

Rose of Nevada (2026)

Horror Rated NR

“…a work of oblique horror, a ghost story that’s something of an apparition itself.”
