The Kill Room 2023
"Efficient and original crime comedies seem harder to come by these days, unless you’re willing to dig up some filler from a streaming service’s bottomless library. The Kill Room can feel like a film from a previous era: a moment when up-and-coming directors had more opportunities to collaborate with name-brand talent on projects not slated for buzzy festival runs, but rather for modest theatrical stops where perhaps achieving sleeper hit status was on the table." ✏️ Travis DeShong

The Creator 2023
"It’s tremendously derivative, not just narratively, but visually as well, and while that’s not intrinsically a bad thing, here all that retread mostly serves as shorthand in a drastically underwritten script that frequently seems as if it was just cobbled together as a clothesline for the admittedly terrific visuals." ✏️ Matt Lynch

The Bubble 2022
"The issue is not that these performers aren’t talented — it’s that Apatow has utterly failed to provide them with any actual material or character to enact. Instead, he’s reverted to his usual Line-o-Rama improv shtick, which has left him with an incredible clutch of scenes in which nothing happens and no narrative is advanced. It’s just a collection of riffs, very few of which merit more than twenty or thirty seconds, much less a movie of over two hours. It’s an uninspired SNL sketch stretched out to feature length; barely a movie." ✏️ Matt Lynch

Persuasion 2022
"Throwing every modern gimmick at the wall to see what sticks, Cracknell’s Persuasion is a jumble of intentionally anachronistic dialogue, fourth-wall breaking affects, and attempts at cynical wit that seems to see its own source material as a problem to be solved rather than an adaptation to be lovingly and imaginatively massaged.
