Review of The Witches of the Orient (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 08 Jul 2021

For all the film’s playful artistry, the effect is more scattershot…

Review of Sabaya (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 12 Jun 2021

Sabaya is remarkable not least for how cleanly Hirori excises himself from it, careful to not get in between the viewer and these devastating…

Review of Monuments (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 04 Jun 2021

There’s not a lot here that’s wholly new, and the film’s tone of melancholy, offbeat uplift signals from the outset that we shouldn’t…

Review of Monuments (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 04 Jun 2021

There’s not a lot here that’s wholly new, and the film’s tone of melancholy, offbeat uplift signals from the outset that we shouldn’t…

Review of American Traitor: The Trial of Axis Sally (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 02 Jun 2021

Clumsy, campy and kitsch, but also deadeningly dull for long stretches…

Review of Playing with Sharks (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 21 May 2021

If the tone of the film is uniformly admiring, Taylor is often critical of the younger woman who appears in these frames, frankly expressing…

Review of Sound of Violence (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 20 May 2021

The spectacularly gruesome and grotesquely elaborate murder scenes do ample justice to even the most revered of its slasher forebears, but…

Review of Riders of Justice (2020)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 17 May 2021

Such wild zigzags in tone — between bumbling physical comedy and lightly stinging satirical observation, between heartbreaking vulnerability…

Review of Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 14 May 2021

An enjoyable, absorbing, characterful testament to shuffling the whole deck of genre conventions, and then politely setting it on fire…

Review of Profile (2018)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 13 May 2021

Like any weird internet rabbit hole you might fall down when you know you should be reading a book or brewing kombucha or going to sleep, this…

Review of The Water Man (2020)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 05 May 2021

Its sincerity and solidity are never in doubt — the actor’s directorial career is certainly off to a clean-lined, competent start…

Review of The Paper Tigers (2020)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 05 May 2021

The three leads summon lovely chemistry, re-creating a dorky-kid dynamic in later life that feels like the perfect summation of the film’s…

Review of Stowaway (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 22 Apr 2021

For the most part, aside from a slightly slack start, and its stirring but simplistic ending, that kind of well-researched procedural detail…

Review of Together Together (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 21 Apr 2021

If it’s an ASMR video for pandemic-raddled emotions you’re after, you could do so much worse…

Review of Reefa (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 15 Apr 2021

Reefa, based on an enraging, heartbreaking real-life event, paints over the colors, creativity and chaos of its true-life tragedy with layer…

Review of Thunder Force (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 12 Apr 2021

Thunder Force is at least an equal-opportunities bummer: It doesn’t work as a superhero adventure or a midlife reclamation movie or a mismatched…

Review of Jakob's Wife (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 07 Apr 2021

Despite Crampton and Fessenden’s game playing, and a few nicely icky practical effects, “Jakob’s Wife” feels strangely anemic, which,…

Review of Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 29 Mar 2021

After so many tentpoles that have insisted on being metaphors for this or that, the abundance of sound and fury here — take a bow, Tom Holkenborg,…

Review of Rose Plays Julie (2021)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for Variety (12,700) on 16 Mar 2021

The most disturbing thing about the impressively disturbing Rose Plays Julie may just be how satisfying it is…
