Xochitl Gomez, Benedict Wong and Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) – Movie Review

Directing Disney’s content machinery towards horror-flavored excess, Sam Raimi proves that Marvel is willing to hand over its creative reins only so far.

Alcarràs (2022) – Movie Review

The genius of Alcarràs is that it finds ways to tell emotional and even political truths as if by coincidence, articulating with silence or in the background what other movies struggle to tell directly.

Alexander Skarsgard in The Northman

The Northman (2022) – Movie Review

A visceral epic bursting with rage, elevated by great performances and aesthetics that mask a somewhat perfunctory aesthetic.

Woody Norman and Joaquin Phoenix in C'mon C'mon

C’mon C’mon (2022) – Movie Review

With so many films devoted to the different aspects of parenthood, I’d never seen one so thoughtfully, so compassionately study the emotional needs of a child.

Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar in Badhaai Do

Badhaai Do (2022) – Movie Review

Can I convince you to try something different? Badhaai Do (which apparently means something along the lines of “Best Wishes”) is a rare queer mainstream Bollywood film, and also a feel-good romantic comedy of errors that you can find right there on Netflix.

Vinette Robinson and Stephen Graham in Boiling Point

Boiling Point (2021) – Movie Review

Prepare to be stressed out, to feel your palms getting sweaty, to see all the things that you know are going to go wrong go wrong, but do watch Boiling Point if you can find it.

Belle

Belle (2022) – Movie Review

Despite a somewhat inconsistent plotting, Belle is a true aesthetic and musical spectacle.

Natalie Morales and Mark Duplass in Language Lessons

Language Lessons (2022) – Movie Review

Language Lessons is fine for a lockdown movie, if you don’t care about the premise any more than it does, but I hoped for more from a movie all about learning Spanish.
