Review of Overlord (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 09 Nov 2018

Despite the heavy context and historical precedent, there’s not a whole lot on Overlord’s mind, and a gestured-at “defeating the monsters…

Review of The Girl in the Spider's Web (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 06 Nov 2018

I don’t hold Larsson’s novels in enough esteem to mind a theoretical sanding down of them into B-movie popcorn fare, but this isn’t the…

Review of A Private War (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 02 Nov 2018

Heineman’s film is, in many ways, the movie so many people say they want: a portrait of a deeply complex, flawed, but brilliant and forceful…

Review of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 31 Oct 2018

There’s nothing grounding enough here; everything — the sets, the costumes, the performances — seems to drift off in a CGI haze…

Review of Shirkers (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 24 Oct 2018

Shirkers is a joy, but it also feels haunted, as if Tan had the unique opportunity to unearth a perfectly preserved clone of her younger, more…

Review of Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 18 Oct 2018

What is on paper a small-time heist film in the vein of the Coen Brothers or Breaking Bad is ultimately a cover for a more observant and relatable…

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 11 Oct 2018

It’s not brash enough to measure up to the very-near-future dystopia of The Purge franchise; it’s also not studied enough as a character…

Review of 22 July (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 10 Oct 2018

Just like the families of the victims in the film who feel nauseous at the prospect of making a celebrity out of Breivik and spreading his…

Review of The Hate U Give (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 04 Oct 2018

The how of Tillman, Mabry, and Wells’s telling distinguishes their story…

Review of Her Smell (2019)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 02 Oct 2018

Much of Her Smell, especially these backstage scenes, border on unintelligible, with numerous exchanges getting lost in the chaos…

Review of Night School (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 27 Sep 2018

Like Teddy, there’s a lot of sophomoric silliness Night School feels obligated to perform…

Review of Monsters & Men (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 26 Sep 2018

Monsters and Men, then, functions more as a lightly fictionalized photo essay than a narrative film — which is okay, it just means that it…

Review of Monsters and Men (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 25 Sep 2018

Monsters and Men, then, functions more as a lightly fictionalized photo essay than a narrative film — which is okay, it just means that it…

Review of The House with a Clock in Its Walls (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 23 Sep 2018

The cast in House is exceedingly fancy, but they never seem to connect; Blanchett and Black are about as awkward a pairing as they sound on…

Review of The Sisters Brothers (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 19 Sep 2018

Put up side-by-side, the redemption of killers doesn’t feel quite as urgent a narrative as the alliance of idealists, and in its final minutes…

Review of White Boy Rick (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 16 Sep 2018

There’s something strangely uninvolving about White Boy Rick, despite all its claims to be a sensational true story…

Review of A Simple Favor (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 13 Sep 2018

With its martini-swilling leads and swingy French pop soundtrack, A Simple Favor seems to yearn for a bygone era of nail-biter, but rather…

Review of The Children Act (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 12 Sep 2018

In the hands of Iris and Notes on a Scandal director Richard Eyre, McEwan’s story is stagy and austere, taking place in gleaming flats and…

Review of Peppermint (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 07 Sep 2018

Peppermint has no surprises up its sleeve, and casting Jennifer Garner as the put-upon housewife turned gun-toting vigilante doesn’t change…

Review of Sierra Burgess Is a Loser (2018)

By Emily Yoshida (237) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 06 Sep 2018

From the script to the music to the unfinished-feeling sound edit — nothing about Sierra Burgess feels like it got past a first draft…
