Review of Fauna (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Jul 2021

Fauna has some smart things to say about how the drug trade and its attendant stereotypes have changed the Mexican popular imagination…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

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

Review of Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain (2021)

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

The collaborative spirit of the project is inspiring, enough to recommend the film to creative teenagers and theater kids of all ages…

Review of Nomadland (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 05 Jul 2021

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 01 Jul 2021

Review of Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (2021)

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

Review of False Positive (2021)

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

Glazer and Lee both work primarily in comedy, but the commentary here is drier and more serious, producing knowing nods instead of outright laughter…

Review of Holler (2021)

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

The specificity and authenticity of its setting are the biggest thing Holler has going for it, given that indie drama is rife with variations…

Review of Cruella (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 26 May 2021

Review of Seance (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 19 May 2021

When it comes to shock and delight, Seance doesn’t quite live up to Barrett’s work with other directors. It’s tough being a legacy…

Review of Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)

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

Review of Mainstream (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 07 May 2021

Review of Things Heard & Seen (2021)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Apr 2021

Review of Jakob's Wife (2021)

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

Despite the conviction Crampton and Fessenden bring to their onscreen relationship, however, Jakob’s Wife is more successful as a gleeful…

Review of Thunder Force (2021)

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