Review of Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The Week (85) on 23 Mar 2018

If you liked Pacific Rim, you'll probably like Uprising, too. It might even leave a generation of kids wanting more…

Review of Sherlock Gnomes (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 22 Mar 2018

Most of the movie’s star power has been harnessed without much obvious reason, right down to the movie’s seeming origins as a delivery…

Review of I Can Only Imagine (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Mar 2018

This is an interesting idea, executed with a reductive, tin-eared understanding of what constitutes art to go along with a faith-based movie’s…

Review of A Wrinkle in Time (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 07 Mar 2018

Only Reid and Pine feel like they’re playing fully imagined characters, and DuVernay wrestles with how to make the overstuffed material both…

Review of Love, Simon (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Feb 2018

Love, Simon is touching as a gesture. As entertainment, it’s nothing Degrassi hasn’t done better…

Review of Every Day (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 22 Feb 2018

There are any number of metaphorical applications for A’s condition, some implied more strongly than others, including trans struggles, gender…

Review of Red Sparrow (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Feb 2018

It’s about halfway between Atomic Blonde and a Focus Features late-summer thriller, which more or less fits the Francis Lawrence aesthetic…

Review of Looking Glass (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Feb 2018

Because Hunter’s movie works best in its early, less crazed stretch, there aren’t any really memorable sequences here coming from the director…

Review of Peter Rabbit (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 05 Feb 2018

For a Brit-inflected talking-animal picture in the wake of the Paddington series, it’s not good enough…

Review of Basmati Blues (2017)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for AV Club (2,778) on 05 Feb 2018

The movie starts out heedless in its desire to charm, but it winds up feeling constrained by self-consciousness, and more's the pity…

Review of Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for AV Club (2,778) on 25 Jan 2018

The runty little brother of The Hunger Games has gotten surprisingly proficient in that area of well-produced sci-fi junk where a lot of the…

Review of Forever My Girl (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 17 Jan 2018

The movie isn’t as off-the-charts shameless as Sparks, but it lacks the Russian roulette death-guessing game to occupy viewers who get bored…

Review of The Polka King (2017)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for AV Club (2,778) on 10 Jan 2018

The cast performs these scenes entertainingly-Black's dancing eyes remain as compelling as ever-without ever transcending how unfocused and…

Review of Phantom Thread (2017)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The Week (85) on 28 Dec 2017

And now Phantom Thread is a half-harrowing, half-tender chamber piece about the nature of love that also pokes, amusingly, at the supposed…

Review of Father Figures (2017)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Dec 2017

Its scenes aren’t really long or improv-heavy enough to qualify as rambling, but they’re often slow enough to qualify as excruciating…

Review of Pitch Perfect 3 (2017)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for AV Club (2,778) on 20 Dec 2017

It’s half-assed in every way but cast retention; almost all the major female characters return…

Review of Last Flag Flying (2017)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for Brooklyn Magazine (241) on 19 Dec 2017

This road picture's many detours, the stuff that should be right in Linklater's wheelhouse, mostly feel, well, like vexing delays…

Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for Brooklyn Magazine (241) on 19 Dec 2017

Though much of Call Me By Your Name is lovely and well-crafted, it's never quite as subtle as the filmmakers seem to assume…

Review of Wonderstruck (2017)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for Brooklyn Magazine (241) on 19 Dec 2017

Despite all of the eventfulness, there's little dramatic tension, and lots of footage of kids walking around a museum…

Review of Patti Cake$ (2017)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for Brooklyn Magazine (241) on 19 Dec 2017

Making music is not inherently cinematic, especially in the downtime between fully-formed performances…
