Losing Ground (1982)
The camerawork is as dynamic as the characters: A tracking shot is used for Sara's outdoor walking scene alongside Duke; for Victor, it's a loose, handheld camera.

Iglesias, a.k.a., Fluffy, is one of the biggest-hearted dudes in the game.

The Farewell (2019)

Amazing Grace (2019)
Even though her legacy has been deeply embedded within pop culture, this is a new side of her that the film lets us witness.

Booksmart (2019)
Booksmart leaves the impression that nothing that happened (or didn't happen) in those four years holds a candle to the strength of the friendship at the film's core.

Wine Country (2019)
Wine Country leans into the joy in imbibing with friends, delves into how sharing personal truths speak to the complexity of womanhood and female friendship.

...when it isn't fawning over Bundy's more humanistic moments, Extremely Wicked can feel like a heist film.

The Perfect Date (2019)
Not even Noah Centineo can make this thing less generic.

Us (2019)
Peele has managed to map an enemy that exists in all of "us." The enemy of dismissive neglect to problems that persist.

Cast Away (2000)
Wilson jokes aside, Robert Zemeckis's Castaway is a surprisingly haunting movie about what it's like to be alone on a deserted island for a very long time.

Alive (1993)
I'm not crying. You're crying.

The Grey (2012)
The Grey is less about the wolves and more about the specter of death that stalks each of the men.

Letter Never Sent is a dark, brooding film that doubles as a subtle parody of Soviet Union ideals like altruism and resolve.

Arctic (2019)
Incredible but exhausting.

The Favourite (2018)
The Favourite, in and with its own female gaze, is committed to exposing the rituals and expected aesthetics and emotions of womanhood to great payoff.

Tyrel (2018)
The whole point of the movie seems to dissolve. The subtle racism comes off as inconsequential, and perhaps incapable of carrying a film in its bare bones form.

Mary Poppins Returns (2018)
It's this attention to detail that makes Mary Poppins Returns sing. It exists within a very prescriptive formula, faithfully recreating the cinematic techniques of the time.

Creed II (2018)
Creed II, like previous installments, embraces the themes that Sylvester Stallone wrote with a harmony, bringing simple-as-hell solutions to emotionally complicated problems.

Green Book (2018)

Since Pelosi is openly liberal with familial ties to the Democratic establishment, it's even harder to take the film's supposed non-judgmental exploration at face value.

Burning (Beoning) (2018)
The Murakami adaptation seethes and slithers and induces an incredible amount of dread.

Beautiful Boy (2018)
Watch it to remind yourself that there are millions of stories like Nic's, but they won't have the opportunity to be made into books or films.

Venom (2018)
A half-empty, backwashed dose of Sierra Mist. It's bad, and not in an adorable sort of way.

Colette (2018)
It is time for women to hold the pens that write history. Thank goodness that story has finally been brought to screen.

Black '47 (2018)
Lean, mean, and singular in the way it mixes genres as well as in its subject matter.

The Sisters Brothers (2018)
The Sisters Brothers is easily the strangest, saddest, and sweetest Western you'll ever see.

The Old Man & the Gun (2018)
The great pleasure of the film is its metatextual layers, as the legends of Forrest's exploits seem to meld with those of Redford himself.

Shoplifters (Manbiki kazoku) (2018)
One of the best films at TIFF this year, if not simply one of the best films of the year, period.

Sierra Burgess Is a Loser (2018)
While the insensitive jokes are uncomfortable aspects of the story itself, Sierra's character moves from complex to generally unlikeable.

If Beale Street Could Talk (2019)
To put it bluntly, Jenkins adapted something that I feel to my core is the most raw understanding of black romance on screen.

The movie's constant quietude, in the face of such noxious attacks feels aggressive. It really does speak volumes.

Spectre (2015)
It's mostly for the best that people demand more from their action movies these days, the same way they demand more from their beers.

Chi-Raq (2015)
In attempting to balance tragedy with fun in Chi-Raq, Lee throws a lot at the wall, hoping it'll stick. It makes for a rather odd viewing experience.
