Minami Hanabe in Godzilla Minus One

Godzilla Minus One (2024) – Movie Review

Godzilla Minus One would be a great movie even without the monster; with it, it becomes a fantastic disaster/kaiju movie with a poignant anti-war drama at its heart. Not to be missed!

Anya Taylor-Joy in Furiosa

Furiosa (2024) – Movie Review

Setting aside the academic discussion of whether Fury Road “needed” a prequel, Furiosa enriches the world of Mad Max while standing on its own as a fantastic action movie.

Hitoshi Omika in Evil Does Not Exist

Evil Does Not Exist (2024) – Movie Review

Hamaguchi keeps his style in an otherwise wholly original philosophical essay.

Mike Faist, Zendaya and Josh O'Connor in Challengers

Challengers (2024) – Movie Review

Rarely does such a dynamic movie offer so many layers to obsess over.

Josh O'Connor in La Chimera

La Chimera (2024) – Movie Review

Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan in Drive Away Dolls

Drive-Away Dolls (2024) – Movie Review

Drive-Away Dolls has all the elements of a classic Coen production: there is a crime, there are various characters moving on either side of the law, and absolutely nobody knows what they’re doing.

Timothée Chalamet in Dune: Part Two

Dune: Part Two (2024) – Movie Review

It is so rare for a movie to deliver on a promise to the extent that Dune: Part Two does on everything the first part promised.

Masaki Suda and Koji Yakusho in The Father of the Milky Way Railroad

The Father of the Milky Way Railroad (2023) – Movie Review

It’s hard to recommend a movie that swerves so wildly from Wikipedia article to TV drama, even with two great performances at its core. I will say that trapped in the confines of a trans-Atlantic flight, it made me cry like six times, so make of that what you will!

Cailee Spaeny in Priscilla

Priscilla (2024) – Movie Review

Between Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis (which I hated) and Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla (which I mostly liked), I think it’s time to prohibit biopics from involving the real subject or their descendants in their production.
