Review of Girls Trip (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Film School Rejects (1,198) on 28 Dec 2017

The film is remarkable for its willingness and ability to flaunt its generic premise and go to far stranger, more empowering places than its…

Review of Deidra & Laney Rob a Train (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Film School Rejects (1,198) on 18 Dec 2017

Deidra & Laney Rob a Train is both a caper film and a high school comedy and for every moment it stumbles at one, it excels at the other…

Review of The Pirates of Somalia (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 07 Dec 2017

Even Bahadur’s stupid voiceover writing becomes funnier over time as we realize the clichés and groaners only serve to show what an ultimately…

Review of Psychopaths (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 30 Nov 2017

Though the film acknowledges its performative nastiness at every opportunity—setting its killers and victims in windows, mind ballets, stages,…

Review of Brad's Status (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 15 Sep 2017

Every creative problem White gives himself receives the most boring, trite solution, each chance for artistry stifled by mediocrity…

Review of Rebel in the Rye (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 14 Sep 2017

Salinger’s world doesn’t feel real, but like an amusement park ride taking visitors through the major stops of an author’s legacy, each…

Review of Patti Cake$ (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 14 Aug 2017

Patti Cake$ clearly loves music, but fails to translate that into a compelling narrative. It’s an album filled mostly with half-baked skits…

Review of Step (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 03 Aug 2017

Step may stumble over its own hurried pace (cramming months of school into montage after montage), but such a method is almost forgivable once…

Review of Wish Upon (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 12 Jul 2017

Wish Upon’s plotting is all too arbitrary to be earnestly enjoyable…

Review of The Little Hours (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 29 Jun 2017

Though the connective tissue keeping the film’s story together often requires its thin characters to improvise or otherwise overstretch themselves…

Review of Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 07 Jun 2017

Captain Underpants’ plethora of animation styles (including a wonderful sock puppet sequence) separates the film into imaginative sublayers,…

Review of The Exception (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 07 Jun 2017

The film never quite achieves the level of fevered hurry for which it aims—sometimes due to its often trite, on-the-nose dialogue and sometimes…

Review of I Am Evidence (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 10 May 2017

The film is intense, making for one of the sniffliest audiences in which I’ve ever been included, so viewer discretion is certainly advised…

Review of The Boy Downstairs (2018)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 10 May 2017

Named like a horror movie but packaged like a rom-com, The Boy Downstairs is a sweet showcase of writer/director Sophie Brooks' takes on memory,…

Review of Devil's Gate (2018)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 07 May 2017

An irreverent mix of genres taken completely seriously but with no small amount of fun, Devil’s Gate wears its script’s stupidity on its…

Review of Rock'n Roll (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 03 May 2017

The film's ridiculousness deserves a long hill to snowball down-when Rock'n Roll reaches the bottom, it's impossible not to be bowled over…

Review of The Clapper (2018)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 03 May 2017

The Clapper is just so boring and corny that all the audience can do is either feel bad for Helms or disingenuously applaud his unsuccessful…

Review of Sweet Virginia (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 03 May 2017

We linger on dread throughout Sweet Virginia, externalizing a movie whose strengths are all internal…

Review of The Public Image Is Rotten (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 27 Apr 2017

It's all wrapped in a package wearing dad jeans: too safe, too simple, too given to a happy ending…

Review of A River Below (2017)

By Jacob Oller (247) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 26 Apr 2017

A River Below is pure investigative journalism…
