Review of The Power of the Dog (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 17 Nov 2021

The Power Of The Dog divulges its secrets in deliberate, measured fashion, growing richer with each new reveal…

Review of Home Sweet Home Alone (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 11 Nov 2021

An argument can be made for not parsing the social messaging of films like this one too deeply, as the creative team probably didn’t…

Review of Beans (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 Nov 2021

A specifically French-Canadian and Native coming-of-age story that’s heavy handed in some ways and delicate in others…

Review of The Beta Test (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 04 Nov 2021

Cummings and McCabe zero in on an angle they do understand—the death scream of the untouchably powerful man—and can make fun of with precision…

Review of Last Night in Soho (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 28 Oct 2021

Let’s just say that Last Night In Soho is giallo in at least one big respect: Like many of those films, it starts off with a strong concept,…

Review of Halloween Kills (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 14 Oct 2021

The problem isn’t that Halloween Kills is about nothing more than brutal nihilism; that’s a perfectly acceptable thing for a horror movie…

Review of The Manor (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Oct 2021

As with most of the Welcome To The Blumhouse movies, The Manor has flaws that could probably be attributed to scant resources and a quick turnaround…

Review of The Manor (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Oct 2021

Review of Madres (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Oct 2021

Didactic in its approach to the material—which, to be clear, is absolutely horrifying and very real—Madres has some good ideas, but it…

Review of Black as Night (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Oct 2021

Black As Night is assembled in an uninspired YA style that only accentuates the weaknesses of its script, which is laden with stilted dialogue…

Review of Bingo Hell (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Oct 2021

A sometimes clunky but always bold blend of social satire and delirious style…

Review of Titane (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 30 Sep 2021

There are a lot of wild twists and turns in this movie, but underneath there’s a constant: the agony of being trapped inside of a human body,…

Review of The Mad Women's Ball (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 17 Sep 2021

This is a work of feminist melodrama, one that uses real events as a backdrop for a romantic, woman-centric tale of rebellious spirits and…

Review of The Starling (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Sep 2021

The saddest thing about all of this is that McCarthy and O’Dowd make a convincing onscreen couple, and both of them are strong enough actors…

Review of The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Sep 2021

If Showalter resists a cartoon takedown of Tammy Faye Bakker, he also hasn’t made a very deep look at her life, either…

Review of Language Lessons (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Sep 2021

Luckily, Morales and Duplass have the chemistry and the acting chops to carry this unexpectedly moving film…

Review of Yakuza Princess (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 02 Sep 2021

At 112 minutes, this film is way too long for the amount of story contained within—which, again, would be a forgivable offense, had Amorim…

Review of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 23 Aug 2021

Shang-Chi’s hero is on a journey to become himself, but the movie is lost inside of the machine…

Review of The Night House (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 18 Aug 2021

The latest film from The Ritual’s David Bruckner seems to have forgotten that it’s supposed to be a horror movie first and a metaphor second…
