Everybody Hates Johan (2022) (Alle Hater Johan) – Movie Review
A delightful comedy full of quirky characters, absurd situations, and explosions.
Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022) – Movie Review
There are a million ways this movie could have turned out awful. This may be, in fact, the only version of this movie that doesn’t; ours, the only timeline in which these ingredients combine into greatness.
Nope (2022) – Movie Review
Nope falls short of the greatness of Jordan Peele’s previous works, but still provides complex themes and expert craft.
Carter (2022) – Movie Review
An exhausting, migraine-inducing barrage of solid action barely threaded together by a dumb plot.
Prey (2022) – Movie Review
A thoroughly fun action movie with a compelling action heroine.
Bullet Train (2022) – Movie Review
While uneven, Bullet Train was a fun enough experience for me, with compelling action making up for some pacing and tone issues.
Not Okay (2022) – Movie Review
Not Okay is a thoroughly entertaining satire aimed straight at the shallow fame of the social media age, co-opting the aesthetics and addictive trappings of Instagram and Tiktok while taking them to task.
The Gray Man (2022) – Movie Review
Why Netflix thinks this forgettable nothing of a movie could build an entire franchise is unknowable to me.
Persuasion (2022) – Movie Review
A tiresome gimmick, on a weak story, with performances that run from unremarkable to dreadful.
