A Complete Unknown
A Complete Unknown

It sets out to answer the question: can you ever escape the box other people have placed you in? Alternatively: what makes folk music folk music?

Wicked
Wicked

Not every number hits, but you never get the feeling anyone is phoning it in. I would be remiss to mention that two of these sequences were sure-fire out-of-the-park homeruns.

The Invisible Man
The Invisible Man

I was surprised at just how much of the run time I spent watching a still room from the edge of my seat. It strips the idea of an invisible person of all the goofy novelty the previous adaptations were full of and instills it with horror.

Come to Daddy
Come to Daddy

The set up is ripe for scares, but "Come To Daddy" knows exactly where you think it's going, and takes the hardest left turns possible to varying degrees of success.

Our ratings for the movies released in 2019 that we never got around to reviewing or alternative ratings for film’s already reviewed.

1917
1917

While I can concede that the technical aspects of this film are a marvel, the one-take approach is ironically enough the biggest detractor from this claim for me.

Cats
Cats

Despite a seemingly glaring visual problem, Cats managed to get made and released without anyone seriously questioning that it looked like a feline-inspired nightmare fever dream.

Uncut Gems
Uncut Gems

The Safdie brothers are at the forefront in turning anxiety into a film genre, and Uncut Gems might be their finest example to date.

The Two Popes
The Two Popes

The staged unveiling of the pope’s mystique is what makes The Two Popes such an engaging viewing, even if it is ultimately an uneven one. 

The Rise of Skywalker
The Rise of Skywalker

The Star Wars train has left the station, if you’re not on board you will be forcibly bound, gagged, and dragged behind. At least, that’s the feeling that The Rise of Skywalker gives you; once the movies starts there’s no stopping the avalanche.
