Review of Something from Tiffany's (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 09 Dec 2022

Overlong at a mere 87 minutes, there's nothing timeless or elegant about this flop entirely composed of elements derived from much better films…

Review of The People We Hate at the Wedding (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for The Playlist (3,871) on 18 Nov 2022

The People We Hate at the Wedding is a career nadir for this cast, an asinine, poorly executed-excuse for a comedy. A little advice…

Review of Disenchanted (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 18 Nov 2022

Although it's gorgeous to look at (especially Joan Bergin’s costumes), Disenchanted fails to truly rekindle the magic, or the biting wit…

Review of Bantú Mama (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 17 Nov 2022

Co-writers Albrecht and Herrera clearly have a deep connection to its setting in the Dominican Republic, to the island’s past, present and…

Review of Falling for Christmas (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 10 Nov 2022

It’s more like a reusable ribbon bow. It's not great. It's nothing special…

Review of Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 21 Oct 2022

In order to do this subject—and these women—justice, there is a need for a clear-eyed reckoning…

Review of The School for Good and Evil (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for The Playlist (3,871) on 19 Oct 2022

Mildly diverting from time to time due to its beautiful production design, The School for Good and Evil is mostly an unmitigated slog, filled…

Review of Luckiest Girl Alive (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 07 Oct 2022

The whole thing is mostly made up of tasteless decisions…

Review of The Swimmers (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for The Playlist (3,871) on 18 Sep 2022

Destined to make audiences weep, The Swimmers is no doubt a crowd-pleaser with an important message about the growing refugee crisis worldwide,…

Review of What's Love Got to Do with It? (2023)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for The Playlist (3,871) on 18 Sep 2022

Wearing its influences on its sleeve, the rom-com aims to show where arranged marriage traditions and modern dating habits can fit in a multicultural…

Review of Raymond & Ray (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for The Playlist (3,871) on 17 Sep 2022

Unfortunately, aside from the always reliable Hawke and Okonedo, there isn’t much to praise about this deadpan dark comedy, which is miscalculated…

Review of All Quiet on the Western Front (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for The Playlist (3,871) on 16 Sep 2022

Regardless of its minor flaws, Berger and his crew have crafted a faithful and heart-wrenching adaptation that fully realizes the novel’s…

Review of Alice, Darling (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for The Playlist (3,871) on 16 Sep 2022

Anchored by Kendrick’s best performance in years and Francis’ incisive script, Alice, Darling is a visceral, deeply felt clarion call,…

Review of Catherine Called Birdy (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 12 Sep 2022

There is surely an audience for this kind of feel-good quote-un-quote feminism…

Review of Sidney (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 12 Sep 2022

Sidney works more as an explainer for why Sidney Poitier remains such an important figure in American history—not just Hollywood history—than…

Review of Bros (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 10 Sep 2022

Its perpetual commentary on the mainstreaming of queerness remains at odds with its very desire to tell its story within the Hollywood system…

Review of Look Both Ways (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for The Playlist (3,871) on 17 Aug 2022

That this catastrophe is director Wanuri Kahiu’s follow-up after her sublime debut “Rafiki” makes it all the more disappointing…

Review of Summering (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 12 Aug 2022

The nostalgia of Ponsoldt's film is curdled and rotten underneath its summery sheen…

Review of Medusa (2022)

By Marya E. Gates (65) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 29 Jul 2022

Eliciting powerful performances from her two leads and striking visuals from cinematographer João Atala, “Medusa” casts its gaze at the…
