Review of Bolden (2019)

By Monica Castillo (380) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 02 May 2019

Review of The Kill Team (2019)

By Monica Castillo (380) for TheWrap (3,203) on 02 May 2019

Review of Someone Great (2019)

Review of Native Son (2019)

By Monica Castillo (380) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 04 Apr 2019

Review of Working Woman (2019)

The debate around sexual harassment is one many are having around the world, far beyond hashtags and press releases…

Review of The Curse of La Llorona (2019)

By Monica Castillo (380) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 19 Mar 2019

Review of Pet Sematary (2019)

By Monica Castillo (380) for TheWrap (3,203) on 17 Mar 2019

Its terrifying story about death still leaves audiences with much to think about long after the credits roll, and the twists that lead to a…

Review of The Day Shall Come (2019)

By Monica Castillo (380) for TheWrap (3,203) on 16 Mar 2019

The Day Shall Come is greatest when skewering power and shining a light on grave legal overreach…

Review of Good Boys (2019)

By Monica Castillo (380) for TheWrap (3,203) on 14 Mar 2019

Good Boys is a snappy comedy that pokes fun at those painful pubescent years and, by the credits, grows up into a somewhat mature comedy about…

Review of Us (2019)

By Monica Castillo (380) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 09 Mar 2019

Like “The Shining,” there are a number of different ways to interpret Jordan Peele’s excellent new horror movie, Us…

Review of Juanita (2019)

Review of Saint Judy (2018)

By Monica Castillo (380) for TheWrap (3,203) on 01 Mar 2019

It’s a letdown for a movie that has its heart in the right place to resort to so many clichés…

Review of The Wedding Guest (2019)

By Monica Castillo (380) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 01 Mar 2019

A movie steeped in the traditions of film noir, and its narrative will become complicated very quickly…

By Monica Castillo (380) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 14 Feb 2019

The visual bonanza cooked up by Rodriguez, cinematographer Bill Pope and editors Stephen E…

Midnight Family is both a compassionate portrait of a working-class family and a frightening ride through a broken healthcare system that risks…

Review of Paddleton (2019)

By Monica Castillo (380) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 30 Jan 2019

Romano’s performance in Paddleton is an incredible work of humor. He creates a character capable of annoying anyone who’s just met him…

Review of King of Thieves (2018)

By Monica Castillo (380) for TheWrap (3,203) on 25 Jan 2019

The script (by Joe Penhall, based on a magazine article by Mark Seal) runs in fits and starts, but the camerawork from Danny Cohen keeps the…
