Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 20 May 2020

The dynamic between this screwball couple is half affectionate and half exasperated, and there are enough funny lines sprinkled throughout—a…

Review of Scoob! (2020)

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

You can’t even get mad at the script for its half-hearted gestures towards self-aware commentary; writers must keep themselves entertained,…

Review of How to Build a Girl (2020)

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

Feldstein is as contagiously ebullient as always in the role, and her English accent is mostly passable, although it breaks down at times during…

Review of All Day and a Night (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 30 Apr 2020

Cole had a key part in one of the biggest game-changers in Black cinema this decade: a co-writing credit on Black Panther…

Review of Selah and the Spades (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Apr 2020

If you took Harry Potter, put it in a paper bag with The Wire, and shook it vigorously, you’d get the basic idea behind Selah And The Spades…

Review of Tigertail (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 10 Apr 2020

Where the film stands out from other dramas of its type is in its poignant exploration of the little-discussed emotional consequences of single-mindedly…

Review of Sea Fever (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Apr 2020

Despite some overly literal tributes to the films that inspired it (namely Alien, Jaws, and The Thing), Sea Fever’s vision of humanity’s…

Review of Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 26 Mar 2020

Fitting for a film backed by the groovy sounds of the Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan, the biggest myth Crip Camp is out to bust is that disabled…

Review of Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Mar 2020

Abortion stories are real, and they take place every day, often so quietly that no one but those closest to the people involved even know they’re…

Review of The Hunt (2020)

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

A movie that jumps on buzzwords like “canceled” like a hungry dog on a juicy steak, but never coalesces into a coherent statement about,…

Review of Swallow (2020)

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

Although it’s a reductive statement, calling Swallow a high-class version of My Strange Addiction isn’t entirely inaccurate…

Review of Burden (2018)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 26 Feb 2020

Overly simplistic piece of Southern poverty porn, which asks questions it’s not really prepared to answer and proceeds from a set of dubious…

Review of The Night Clerk (2020)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 20 Feb 2020

The Night Clerk will be remembered, if at all, as a movie de Armas was way too good for — an unfortunate mile marker on her road to movie stardom…

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 Homewrecker (2020)

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

Its clever comedic writing couldn’t quite overcome its sometimes subpar camerawork…

Review of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

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

On a moment-by-moment level, the action in Birds Of Prey is compelling, drawing more from the Hong Kong style of unbroken takes designed to…

Review of We Summon the Darkness (2020)

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

The film is propelled by a confident lead performance from Alexandra Daddario…
