Love it or hate it, there will always be an ethical question hanging over investigative and true-crime television, especially once the mechanics of reality TV enter the picture. It’s one reason To Catch a Predator, more than two decades after it first aired, remains controversial regardless of which side of the argument one falls on. […]

It’s one thing to hear your upstairs neighbors having better sex than you. It’s another to invite them downstairs for dinner. That’s the bad decision at the center of Olivia Wilde’s The Invite, though it isn’t Joe (Seth Rogen) who makes it. His wife, Angela (Wilde), invites their neighbors over without telling him, partly because […]

There are bad movies you resent because they never had a pulse, and there are disappointing movies you keep trying to will into shape as you’re watching them. Supergirl falls into the second category. I didn’t go in wanting to hate it. In fact, I wanted it to work for reasons that go beyond franchise […]

Cinema keeps circling back to a familiar male fantasy, probably because men keep finding new ways to pretend they invented it: A woman is written, sculpted, programmed, wished into being. She answers loneliness, insecurity, humiliation, and desire. Pygmalion gives us Galatea. Ruby Sparks lets a blocked novelist revise his dream girl by typing commands into […]

“History has no reset keys,” Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth) warns at one point in Disclosure Day. He says it to Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor), who has stolen extraterrestrial technology and classified files from Wardex, a secret corporation that’s spent decades hiding the truth about alien contact. It’s meant as a warning. It also sounds like […]

One of the first things I thought while watching Backrooms had very little to do with horror, internet folklore, or Kane Parsons’ unlikely leap from YouTube to A24. It was this: what is it with Renate Reinsve and emotionally loaded furniture? In Sentimental Value, she moved through what I once thought of as the IKEA-ification […]

It is a strange thing to sit before a Star Wars movie and feel the galaxy getting smaller. Not visually, of course; The Mandalorian and Grogu has the planets, creatures, ships, bounty hunters, crime lords, droids, monsters, and little green merchandise magnet required of the brand. Jon Favreau knows the house style well enough by […]

Twenty years is a strange amount of time for a sequel (unless you’re Top Gun: Maverick, in which case you rewrite the rules). It’s long enough for nostalgia to settle into something like myth, but also long enough for the world that made the original possible to quietly slip away. That tension sits at the […]

There’s a moment about five seconds into Michael when the artist’s familiar “hee-hee” blares and the Michael Jackson Estate logo flashes on screen. It’s a small thing, but it tells you a lot. Before the film even begins, it quietly draws a line around what this story will and won’t be. I kept thinking about […]

In Monument, directed by Bryan Singer, the Israelis are still in Lebanon after the invasion that began in 1982 with Operation Peace for Galilee. The South Lebanon Army commissions Israeli architect Yacov Rechter, who works together with his son Amnon, to build a monument honoring Lebanese soldiers. While Yacov accepts the deal, Amnon decides to […]

If you’ve seen Gravity, Interstellar, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and The Martian, you’ve seen Project Hail Mary. It’s that blatant in how it lifts, calls back, and occasionally winks at the giants of the genre. I found myself clocking the references almost as a reflex, like a cinephile’s version of spotting constellations. This looks like […]

There’s a particular cruelty in doing everything right and still end up losing. You work hard, you climb the ladder, you buy the house, you provide for your family. And then one day, someone you’ve never met decides you’re expendable. Park Chan-wook‘s No Other Choice (Korean: 어쩔수가없다) understands that cruelty intimately. Based on Donald Westlake‘s […]
