The Merry Gentlemen (2024) 39% D+ EDIT “ Murray and Robertson feel tired as leads, and while Murray is making it work onstage, the more conventional scenes all feel like they’re missing some holiday spice (among other things). ” – IndieWire Nov 21, 2024 Full Review Uglies (2024) 14% C+ EDIT “King can’t really play a teen anymore, and the message of non-conformity feels stale, in the YA adaptation space and beyond. This trend, much like shifting beauty standards, is already on the way out.” – IndieWire Sep 13, 2024 Full Review The Fabulous Four (2024) 28% C EDIT “The Fabulous Four might feel like a series of math problems that don’t quite add up, but it’s still an enjoyable time at the movies.” – IndieWire Jul 25, 2024 Full Review A Family Affair (2024) 36% B- EDIT “With A Family Affair, Efron picks up where 17 Again left off, and it’s a delight to see this former teen heartthrob back in a similar mode.” – IndieWire Jun 28, 2024 Full Review All That We Love (2024) 100% C+ EDIT “Do we need to be reminded of the dullness of the day-to-day by a dull film? Not necessarily, but All That We Love gets points for trying -- and with a tight running time that doesn’t outstay its welcome.” – IndieWire Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Irish Wish (2024) 41% C- EDIT ““Irish Wish” might be more at home on the Hallmark Channel — where it would really stand out — but in the land of Netflix, it just doesn’t shine the way “Falling for Christmas” did.” – IndieWire Mar 15, 2024 Full Review Bob Trevino Likes It (2024) 95% B+ EDIT “Do we “like” it? We love it.” – IndieWire Mar 9, 2024 Full Review We Can Be Heroes (2024) 90% C+ EDIT “No matter what medieval garments this feature throws on, its lofty heroic mission falls flat.” – IndieWire Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Preconceived (2024) 100% B+ EDIT ““Preconceived” faces women’s healthcare head-on, and while the structuring of the doc may have benefitted from a different chronology at times, the film’s message is resoundingly poignant.” – IndieWire Mar 9, 2024 Full Review I Love You Forever (2024) 78% B+ EDIT “Mackenzie may need a minute to get back on her feet, but “I Love You Forever” serves as a tangible outlet for people to point to and say “I experienced this, please help.” And for that, we love the film forever.” – IndieWire Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Upgraded (2024) 76% B+ EDIT “This is a story about women supporting women, especially across generations, and that’s what makes Upgraded resonate more than just a frothy rom-com would.” – IndieWire Feb 9, 2024 Full Review Role Play (2023) 25% C- EDIT “Director Thomas Vincent plays it safe which, for an action comedy hinging on the sexy fascination of spying, makes for a flaccid film all around.” – IndieWire Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Lift (2024) 31% D+ EDIT “Who cares about the gold being lifted? It’s our time that’s really being stolen here.” – IndieWire Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Spy Kids: Armageddon (2023) 54% B- EDIT “The kids’ respective performances feel relatable, authentic, and above all, fun, making “Armageddon” the type of children’s movie where a young audience member could see themselves onscreen...” – IndieWire Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Love at First Sight (2023) 76% C+ EDIT “The film, directed by Vanessa Caswill, is a well-designed (the production design, oddly, takes inspiration from Wes Anderson, in the best way) distraction from the fact that Hardy and Richardson don’t have chemistry.” – IndieWire Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Mother, Couch (2023) 40% B+ EDIT “Could Larsson be the new Ari Aster?” – IndieWire Sep 10, 2023 Full Review My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023) 31% D+ EDIT ““My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3” goes for the cheap laughs and the tacky attempts at pulling heartstrings. Hopefully, this is the end of the “My Big Fat Greek” anything, weddings be damned.” – IndieWire Sep 7, 2023 Full Review You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah (2023) 91% B EDIT “An easily watchable treat for the entire family.” – IndieWire Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Strays (2023) 54% C EDIT “It’s absurd, it’s existential, and it’s glorious. “Strays” is “The House That Jack Built” meets “Cats & Dogs,” with the plot of “Homeward Bound,” turned violent.” – IndieWire Aug 17, 2023 Full Review Aporia (2023) 91% C- EDIT “A bland sci-fi drama that asks too many unanswered questions about morality, mortality, and the price of happiness.” – IndieWire Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Our Body (2023) 100% B+ EDIT “The film is not for the squeamish, but why should anyone bristle at the image of women’s bodies in their natural states?” – IndieWire Aug 4, 2023 Full Review Every Body (2023) 98% A- EDIT “A beautiful and cathartic celebration of intersexuality -- and should be mandatory viewing for people of all genders.” – IndieWire Jun 29, 2023 Full Review Prisoner's Daughter (2022) 42% C EDIT “A predictable family drama that has heart thanks to grounding performances by Cox, Ernie Hudson, and breakout child star Christopher Convery. The rest, however, leaves a lot to be desired.” – IndieWire Jun 29, 2023 Full Review The Perfect Find (2023) 72% B+ EDIT “Director Perrier has helmed a standout rom-com, bolstered by Union’s vision as a producer and lead star. The perfect find for those seeking a smart, sexy rom-com respite? Pretty close.” – IndieWire Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Shooting Stars (2023) 54% C- EDIT “With James’ Springhill Company behind the movie, we only see the sweet friendships, the glory of victory, and of course, James’ iconic celebrity. Too bad a lay-up of a biography isn’t interesting at all.” – IndieWire Jun 15, 2023 Full Review
