Review of Wild Rose (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 19 Jun 2019

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

Director F. Gary Gray, while experienced in both action and comedy, also struggles to keep the film’s picaresque plot on track…

Review of The Perfection (2018)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 23 May 2019

The Perfection takes deep, fetishistic satisfaction in pushing the envelope, then pushing it some more, building in seductive fits and shocking…

Review of Booksmart (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 May 2019

What good high school movies do is take the basics of the teenage condition and refocus them for a specific generation’s point of view…

Review of Wine Country (2019)

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

Review of Charlie Says (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 07 May 2019

For as much as Charlie Says tries to reframe everything we know about the Manson Family, its characterization of the women remains shallow…

Review of The Intruder (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 30 Apr 2019

The film is so full of jump scare fake-outs and shout-at-the-screen moments, it neglects to build sustained suspense — a far worse sin than…

Review of Body at Brighton Rock (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 23 Apr 2019

While Benjamin’s choice to give Wendy little to no backstory makes sense given the film’s overall efficiency, Body At Brighton Rock would…

Review of Little Woods (2019)

Little Woods revolves around a remarkable lead performance: Thompson shows her range as an actress in this film in ways that, as fun as they…

Review of Hail Satan? (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 Apr 2019

Review of Hellboy (2019)

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

Less a thrilling adventure tale than a trip to a teenager’s messy, sock-strewn bedroom…

Review of The Haunting of Sharon Tate (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 04 Apr 2019

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 26 Mar 2019

Review of Gloria Bell (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 Mar 2019
