Review of An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 06 Aug 2017

As a character study, it’s highly successful, but given the context it will be watched in — albeit not quite as oxygen-deprived and manic…

Review of Ingrid Goes West (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 06 Aug 2017

Director Matt Spicer’s Sundance breakout is a friend-crush tale as old as time, modeled almost to a T on The Talented Mr…

Review of Step (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 03 Aug 2017

There are many films that attempt to illuminate the world through pain, but Step is most instructive in its moments of joy…

Review of Kidnap (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 02 Aug 2017

This is a low-stakes, no-frills, point-A-to-point-B crime thriller, taking inspiration from every parent’s worst nightmare, and pretty much…

Review of The Incredible Jessica James (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 27 Jul 2017

The Incredible Jessica James is a little odd duck of a film, an old-fashioned romantic comedy that’s decidedly modern in its frame of reference,…

Review of Brigsby Bear (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 26 Jul 2017

It elicits more than a few excruciating laugh-out-loud moments, but it’s also tragic and vulnerable — not to mention frequently unpleasant…

Review of The Emoji Movie (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 26 Jul 2017

It is one of the darkest, most dismaying films I have ever seen, much less one ostensibly made for children…

Review of Landline (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 24 Jul 2017

It’s a light musing on adulthood and monogamy and sisterhood, washed in Pavlovian period nostalgia. The revelations are gentle, but worthwhile…

Review of Girls Trip (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 19 Jul 2017

Like Bridesmaids, it makes no more promises than an actual night out: These people will be there, and the goal is to have a good time…

Review of Wish Upon (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 12 Jul 2017

A deeply silly midsummer lark that makes up for the fact that it’s about nothing by being incredibly entertaining…

Review of The House (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 29 Jun 2017

All these performers are given decent setups, but the script loses interest in anything that starts to look like a comedic through line…

Review of Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 24 Jun 2017

The Transformers movies are a favorite object of critical scorn, and narratively, The Last Knight remains barely coherent…

Review of The Big Sick (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 20 Jun 2017

The Big Sick becomes a story rarely explored or romanticized on film, about what it's like to bond with the parents of the person you're in love with…

Review of All Eyez on Me (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 15 Jun 2017

All Eyez on Me is rarely more than a faithful adaptation of the rapper’s Wikipedia entry, so fixated on name-checking every footnote of Shakur’s…

Review of The Book of Henry (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 14 Jun 2017

It does not suffice to call The Book of Henry bad; it’s nonfunctional, so poorly conceived from the ground up as to slip out of the grasp…

Review of Rough Night (2017)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 13 Jun 2017

Rough Night, which is like an episode of Broad City that got a blowout and smoked a pound of primo studio notes, tries to have it both ways…

Review of The Girl on the Train (2016)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for Spin (21) on 12 Jun 2017

This iteration is barely more thoughtful than your standard rape-revenge grindhouse fare, and by the end the audience at my screening was cackling…
