This chilling Netflix documentary from director Jenny Popplewell is one of the best movies I've seen all year. It follows the 2018 murders of Shanann Watts and her two young daughters, as well as her unborn child, and what's remarkable about this heartbreaking film is the jaw-dropping footage that Popplewell got her hands on, as the investigation w...
Charting Michelle Obama, as she embarks on a star-studded, stadium-filling book tour, Becoming could have easily been a self-congratulatory victory lap, but instead offers something deeper and more uplifting – at a time when we need it the most. Nadia Hallgren’s beautifully shot documentary doesn’t go as deep as you might expect, but Obama is open ...
The Boys in the Band is the best kind of film adaptation of a play (originally written by famed playwright Mart Crowley). As you'd want from a theatrical adaptation, the film (directed by theater stalwart Joe Mantello) locks into a relentlessly gripping groove once our exceptional ensemble cast (with special shoutouts to Robin de Jesús and Tuc Watk...

Netflix has some great documentaries (as evidenced by their Oscar win earlier this year for American Factory), and 2020’s Crip Camp joins those ranks. The film is a story about the slow process of activism, which makes it more than a little relevant right now.

Leave it to Spike Lee to bring us the perfect antidote to an empty summer blockbuster season. The Oscar-winning filmmaker’s ambitious Vietnam War drama Da 5 Bloods is tremendously moving, stirring, and unwieldy all at once. The story chronicles four Black Vietnam War veterans who return to Vietnam to recover the body of their fallen squad leader an...
Director Antonio Campos’ adaptation of Donald Ray Pollock’s 2011 novel is a grimy Southern gothic noir following an extremely disparate group of people in post-WWII Ohio who ultimately collide in explosive ways. It’s a movie about religious obsession and the burdens of faith, and the darker implications of what we chose to pass on to our children. ...
One of the most pleasant surprises of 2020 was Enola Holmes. The film wasn’t supposed to be a Netflix movie – Warner Bros. sold it to the streamer early in the pandemic, and it was still able to find an audience in 2020. But what a delightfully charming movie. It works on a base level as a Sherlock Holmes-style mystery starring Millie Bobby Brown a...
What an absolutely unexpected delight Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga turned out to be. While many presumed this was another "silly Will Ferrell comedy," this film (written by Ferrell and Andrew Steele) actually turned out to be a surprisingly emotional and thoughtful story of hope, love, and pride. It does indeed deliver on the comedy antics, b...
Extraction has two things going on, both very appealing. One: It is an absolutely raw, brutal powerhouse of an action picture, with aggressively violent combat and a one-take sequence that grabs you by the chest and doesn’t let go. Two: It is an interior story about a man trying to regain his humanity when being human means being killed. Chris Hems...
