Movie Reviews TV Season Reviews Prev Next Rating Title | Year Author Quote Stress Positions (2024) Mattie Lucas A wacky, wise, and altogether wonderful movie. Posted Jun 03, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 The King of Kings (1927) Mattie Lucas One of the essential silent-era epics, a thrilling example of old Hollywood's extravagant excesses. Posted Jun 02, 2025 Edit critic review 2.5/4 Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025) Mattie Lucas It might be fairly forgettable, but it's just goofy enough to work on its own terms. Posted May 29, 2025 Edit critic review 2.5/4 Lilo & Stitch (2025) Mattie Lucas Under the direction of Dean Fleischer Camp, Lilo & Stitch feels more like a real movie than these Disney live-action remakes have in a long time. Posted May 28, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) Mattie Lucas A mean, bloody mess from start to finish, a simultaneously playful and ruthless smorgasbord of carnage that serves as a fitting farewell to Tony Todd and a thrilling summation of a beloved horror franchise. Posted May 27, 2025 Edit critic review Sleepaway Camp (1983) Mattie Lucas Its over-the-top grotesqueries are pure camp, serving as a constant performance of gender and gender stereotypes in which Angela is hopelessly trapped so that the final moment of catharsis feels both heartbreaking and completely earned. Posted May 13, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 Companion (2025) Mattie Lucas First-time feature filmmaker Drew Hancock has assembled a terrific cast, providing an engaging science fiction backdrop that tackles real-world issues with a devious twist. Posted May 01, 2025 Edit critic review 1.5/4 Havoc (2025) Mattie Lucas It's just such an impenetrable wall of kineticism and noise that the actual symphonic choreography of the whole thing disappears into the din. Posted May 01, 2025 Edit critic review 3.5/4 Grand Tour (2024) Mattie Lucas Grand Tour is a slow burn that pays off beautifully as it lulls us into its particular rhythm and gorgeously textured images. Posted Apr 23, 2025 Edit critic review 4/4 Sinners (2025) Mattie Lucas Endlessly thrilling, keeping the audience on its toes by constantly changing the game in bold new ways. Posted Apr 21, 2025 Edit critic review 4/4 Chungking Express (1994) Mattie Lucas A haunting portrait of timely and timeless longing. Posted Apr 17, 2025 Edit critic review 2.5/4 The Friend (2024) Mattie Lucas Dog people - bring your tissues. Posted Apr 11, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 One of Them Days (2025) Mattie Lucas By giving us engaging characters with strong motivations and increasingly dire stakes, One of Them Days draws the audience in and keeps us invested in their story. Posted Apr 08, 2025 Edit critic review 0.5/4 The Electric State (2025) Mattie Lucas Watching The Electric State is akin to sifting through a dumpster filled with discarded, decaying scraps of better films. Posted Mar 17, 2025 Edit critic review 3.5/4 Castration Movie Pt. I (2024) Mattie Lucas A major work, an impassioned and sprawling epic of uncommon emotional acuity. Posted Mar 05, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 Last Breath (2025) Mattie Lucas A straight-down-the-middle, meat-and-potatoes true-life rescue thriller the likes of which we rarely see anymore. Posted Mar 03, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) Mattie Lucas A surprisingly moving send-off for this beloved character, a character-driven romantic comedy that makes space for life's imperfections and bittersweet realities that certainly deserved better than "now streaming on Peacock." Posted Feb 18, 2025 Edit critic review 4/4 King Lear (1987) Mattie Lucas A Shakespearean remix in the key of Godard; a towering, confounding work of self-reinvention and metatextual self-reflection. Posted Feb 11, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 Heart Eyes (2025) Mattie Lucas Scream meets 10 Things I Hate About You. A charming romantic comedy and a terrific horror film that successfully parodies elements of both Posted Feb 10, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 You're Cordially Invited (2025) Mattie Lucas It's a sassy and warm-hearted throwback to another era of mid-budget comedies (there's even an extended end-credit musical number - with bloopers!) whose solid writing and eager cast make it an unexpected winner. Posted Feb 05, 2025 Edit critic review Carnage for Christmas (2024) Mattie Lucas Maintains the inherent queerness of Mackay's perspective, looking to 80s slashers to give us a unique twist on a familiar genre with a developing maturity that is fascinating to witness. Posted Feb 04, 2025 Edit critic review T-Blockers (2023) Mattie Lucas That the protagonist is herself a transgender filmmaker reveals how personal this film is for Mackay, essentially a self-insert in which she and her friends use their queerness and their art to combat ignorance and hate. Posted Feb 04, 2025 Edit critic review Bad Girl Boogey (2022) Mattie Lucas A uniquely queer reclamation of slasher horror. Posted Feb 04, 2025 Edit critic review So Vam (2021) Mattie Lucas So Vam, despite its budget constraints, is a rousing artistic statement in the guise of a campy B-movie. Posted Feb 04, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 Presence (2024) Mattie Lucas A bracing formal experiment whose conceit enhances rather than impedes its emotional core. Posted Jan 30, 2025 Edit critic review 2/4 Back in Action (2025) Mattie Lucas A limp comeback vehicle that coasts on tired clichés cribbed from better films. Posted Jan 28, 2025 Edit critic review 2/4 Flight Risk (2025) Mattie Lucas Flight Risk's biggest throwback is its forgettability, never establishing a unique personality or particularly compelling characters to justify its low-rent aesthetic. Posted Jan 27, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 Femme (2023) Mattie Lucas A sexy and stylishly directed thriller with a genuine heat in its depiction of sexuality, thanks to some fantastic performances by both Stewart-Jarrett and MacKay. Posted Jan 23, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 From Ground Zero (2024) Mattie Lucas A harrowing portrait of human resilience from a painfully unrepresented perspective, allowing Palestinian artists to tell their stories and shine a light on the conflict's human toll. Posted Jan 22, 2025 Edit critic review 2.5/4 Wolf Man (2025) Mattie Lucas It's as if the film wants to be a metaphor that it doesn't have the courage to explore. Posted Jan 21, 2025 Edit critic review 3.5/4 The Mother and the Whore (1973) Mattie Lucas As a portrait of shifting sexual mores following the free love movement of the 1960s and a piece of personal catharsis, The Mother and the Whore remains a landmark of the era. Posted Jan 16, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 Satranic Panic (2023) Mattie Lucas Takes the vibes of psychotronic VHS exploitation horror and rebrands into a gleeful deconstruction of binary gender narratives, creating something both silly and electrifying, a perfect combination for a new vanguard of independent queer cinema. Posted Jan 15, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 I'm Still Here (2024) Mattie Lucas In those moments when the film makes the internal feel tangible, I’m Still Here blossoms into something quite lovely. Posted Jan 10, 2025 Edit critic review All We Imagine as Light (2024) Mattie Lucas A rapturous cinematic poem that finds camaraderie in shared experience and emotional connection. Posted Jan 07, 2025 Edit critic review Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell (2023) Mattie Lucas A work of quiet introspection that somehow feels as vast as the universe. Posted Jan 07, 2025 Edit critic review 3/4 Nosferatu (2024) Mattie Lucas It may not be Murnau (what is, these days?), but Eggers' combination of Jane Eyre aesthetics with the dark lure of the macabre proves to be a winning concoction. Posted Dec 20, 2024 Edit critic review 2/4 Babygirl (2024) Mattie Lucas An erotic thriller that seems to be stuck in the mud, furiously spinning its tires and never really getting anywhere. Posted Dec 19, 2024 Edit critic review 3/4 Carry-On (2024) Mattie Lucas A "dad movie" par excellence, a smashingly entertaining white-knuckle thriller that is leagues better than Netflix's typical throwaway filler content. Posted Dec 17, 2024 Edit critic review 1.5/4 Red One (2024) Mattie Lucas An ugly, under-lit, joyless slog, devoid of any holiday charm or sense of fun. Posted Dec 13, 2024 Edit critic review 2/4 Nightbitch (2024) Mattie Lucas Never feels as transgressive as it clearly wants to be, content instead to use its obvious metaphors to scratch at the surface of its ideas rather than dive into them headfirst. Posted Dec 12, 2024 Edit critic review 4/4 The Brutalist (2024) Mattie Lucas Not just a towering piece of classical Hollywood cinema; it's also a visionary work of tormented genius that feels electrifyingly modern. Posted Dec 11, 2024 Edit critic review 3.5/4 Nickel Boys (2024) Mattie Lucas By putting audiences in his protagonists' shoes, Ross invites us to participate in radical empathy, allowing its themes to resonate in disarming and profound ways. Posted Dec 10, 2024 Edit critic review 3.5/4 Funny Girl (1968) Mattie Lucas It is the role Streisand was born to play and she nails it, finding the joy, the humor, and the pathos of Brice's story and turning it into pure screen magic. Posted Dec 10, 2024 Edit critic review 3/4 Queer (2024) Mattie Lucas Queer’s languid reveling in queer malaise is a heady, exhilarating concoction. Posted Dec 09, 2024 Edit critic review 3.5/4 Christmas Eve in Miller's Point (2024) Mattie Lucas Wholly sublime, a delicately thorny snow globe whose warm sense of nostalgia is tinged with an inescapable sense of sadness that gives its Christmas setting a disarmingly human core. Posted Dec 06, 2024 Edit critic review 3.5/4 Flow (2024) Mattie Lucas Flow is one of the most original animated films in years, an enchanting work of pure cinema that creates a world filled with wonders. Posted Dec 05, 2024 Edit critic review 2.5/4 September 5 (2024) Mattie Lucas It is clearly trying to maintain a kind of political neutrality, which is a trap modern news often falls into, because that neutrality is itself political. Posted Dec 03, 2024 Edit critic review 1/4 Emilia Pérez (2024) Mattie Lucas An ugly, messy film, populated by painfully written musical numbers and increasingly bizarre directorial choices that seem wholly uninterested in treating Emilia as a full person. Posted Nov 27, 2024 Edit critic review 3/4 Will & Harper (2024) Mattie Lucas An altogether charming documentary, a road movie and buddy comedy rolled into one that isn’t afraid to stumble, make mistakes, and be imperfect. Posted Nov 27, 2024 Edit critic review 2/4 Wicked (2024) Mattie Lucas (Grande) and Erivo bring a welcome sense of humanity to a film that is often devoid of it, as Chu treats it like a product to be sold rather than a story to be told.
