Knives Out

Knives Out (2019) – Movie Review

Knives Out has a smart script, a brilliant cast, and a humor as sharp as its title suggest. It is not the whodunit you expect; it is better.

Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas in The Laundromat

The Laundromat (2019) – Movie Review

Soderbergh’s latest tries to do many things but doesn’t stick around long enough to develop any of them. A stellar cast is mostly squandered with brief roles that don’t leave an impact.

Linda Hamilton and Natalia Reyes in Terminator: Dark Fate

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) – Movie Review

What I wanted from Dark Fate was to see Linda Hamilton being badass in the most bitter, gritty fashion possible, and in that regard the movie delivers.

Gabriel D'Almeida Freitas and Xavier Dolan in Matthias & Maxime

Matthias & Maxime (2019) – Movie Review

For such a prolific director, Dolan isn’t always making the same film. Here he’s crafted a beautiful portrait of a fierce, messy friendship.

Kathy Griffin in A Hell of a Story

Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story (2019) – Movie Review

Aptly titled, A Hell of a Story shows a different Kathy Griffin, one that has weathered a harrowing ordeal and come out of it with truths to tell.

Joaquin Phoenix in Joker

Joker (2019) – Movie Review

Joker is gripping and Joaquin Phoenix is phenomenal in it, but it puts its efforts in contextualizing violence without then having anything to say about it.

Will Smith on Gemini Man

Gemini Man (2019) – Movie Review

I spent all of Gemini Man looking for Ang Lee -any trace of him- and couldn’t find him. Gemini Man is a generic vehicle for Will Smith, built around one gimmick that doesn’t justify the exercise.

Kubo and the Two Strings

Kubo and the Two Strings (2016)

I’m kicking myself for missing out on Kubo and the Two Strings when it came out, but happy I got to fix my mistake. It’s a wonder of the imagination, a visual masterpiece, a beautifully evocative story, and just generally a delight.

Brad Pitt in Ad Astra

Ad Astra (2019) – Movie Review

Ad Astra is one of the loneliest science-fiction films I’ve seen, and also a thought-provoking, essential deconstruction of masculinity and loneliness.

Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel in Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)

Quietly, slowly, Portrait of a Lady on Fire paints a lavish picture of love and friendship, as intellectual as it is passionate.
