Review of First Love (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 Feb 2020

While the film is kinetic, colorful, and frantically paced, it’s also not quite as outrageous as Miike’s gonzo ‘90s yakuza movies…

Review of Gretel & Hansel (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 31 Jan 2020

If one of the boundaries being tested in this film is viewers’ patience, the reward for—to use a refrain repeated throughout the film—“trusting…

Review of Dolittle (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 Jan 2020

Dolittle is full of anachronistic pop culture references and poop and fart humor, jokes delivered in suspiciously low-impact style by the film’s…

Review of The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 11 Jan 2020

The Murder Of Nicole Brown Simpson is directed like a Lifetime thriller, relying heavily on stark lighting and ominous music to create suspense…

Review of Like a Boss (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 08 Jan 2020

If you’re looking for something truly groundbreaking—or hilarious—Like A Boss isn’t it…

Review of Color Out of Space (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2020

Stanley does a remarkable job keeping the film grounded in emotional reality all things considered, but it’s admittedly an idiosyncratic…

Review of The Dead Don't Die (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2020

Sure, the cast is full of exciting names, but all of Jarmusch’s absurdist thematic flourishes—the Romero tributes, the meta commentary,…

Review of VFW (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2020

Soaked in neon and coated with a thick layer of 16mm film grain, it’s a visceral throwback to the gritty action fare that lined video store…

Review of Bliss (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2020

Bliss approaches its aesthetic with a straight-faced intensity, pummeling the viewer with woozy handheld closeups and violent bursts of montage…

Review of The Vast of Night (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2020

It’s impressive to see such sophisticated camera work from a newcomer…

Review of The Lodge (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2020

The thing that haunted me the most about the film afterwards—aside from Riley Keough’s choking screams in one particularly intense, symbolically…

Review of The Grudge (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2020

Overall, though, the director and co-writer’s merciless style is muffled by The Grudge’s over-reliance on clichéd jump scares; more damningly,…

Review of Daniel Isn't Real (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2020

A slick and thrilling take on the intersection of mental illness and creative inspiration that also doubles as a commentary on toxic masculinity…

Review of Knives and Skin (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jan 2020

Puts a forward-thinking feminist bent on the Riverdale school of neon Twin Peaks fetishism…

Review of Rabid (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 11 Dec 2019

Horror remakes don’t have to be inferior rehashes, as films like Jim Mickle’s We Are What We Are (2013) and Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria…

Review of Bombshell (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Dec 2019

The film is a snappy, glib tour of recent history in the Adam McKay mold, hydroplaning through the stormy real-life events that led to Ailes’…

Review of Little Women (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Nov 2019

Little Women is the best kind of Hollywood film: thoughtful yet escapist, sophisticated yet accessible, expertly crafted and deeply felt…

Review of Varda by Agnès (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 20 Nov 2019

As a result, it isn’t as cohesive or inspired as her penultimate film, the Oscar-nominated Faces Places…

Review of Charlie's Angels (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Nov 2019

The overall look of the film has the shiny, empty appearance of a newly rehabbed condo, and the quips about women’s love of cheese and gigantic…

Review of Arctic Dogs (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 02 Nov 2019

There’s really not much to recommend about this film: the animation lacks texture, the score is overwrought, the plotting is scattershot,…
