Review of On the Basis of Sex (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 28 Nov 2018

On the Basis of Sex is more compelling as a history lesson than a film, but makes for a relevant dramatization of Ginsburg's experiences all the same…

Review of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 16 Nov 2018

Certain segments are far more engaging than others, but overall The Ballad of Buster Scruggs makes for an intriguing piece of anthology storytelling…

Review of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 14 Nov 2018

The Crimes of Grindelwald has its moments of wonder and delight, but gets bogged down in its efforts to build out the Fantastic Beasts franchise…

Review of Roma (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 14 Nov 2018

Yet another impressive technical accomplishment for Cuarón, Roma explores the filmmaker's memories of childhood in a truly immersive and vivid…

Review of Beautiful Boy (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 09 Nov 2018

Beautiful Boy is well-acted and handles a sensitive topic with the care it deserves, yet ends up being an 'important' film more than a well-made one…

Review of Widows (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 09 Nov 2018

Widows masterfully blends high-art craftsmanship with a sharply drawn pulpy narrative to deliver a crime flick that's equally smart and entertaining…

Review of Ben Is Back (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 01 Nov 2018

Buoyed by the affecting performances from Julia Roberts and Lucas Hedges, Ben is Back makes for a compelling (though uneven) exploration of addiction…

Review of Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 01 Nov 2018

McCarthy and Grant make for a delicious pair of miscreants in Can You Ever Forgive Me?, a memoir brimming with sharp wit and social observations…

Review of Suspiria (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 29 Oct 2018

Suspiria is an alluring blend of sociopolitical allegory and visceral supernatural horror that yields imperfect, yet all the same fascinating results…

Review of Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 24 Oct 2018

Despite a strong performance by Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody plays out as an excessively sanitized version of Queen's story, rather than a labor of love…

Review of Halloween (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 18 Oct 2018

Driven by a committed Curtis, Halloween is mostly effective in the way it takes the slasher franchise back to its roots, yet builds on its foundation…

Review of Beautiful Boy (2011)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 18 Oct 2018

Beautiful Boy is well-acted and handles a sensitive topic with the care it deserves, yet ends up being an 'important' film more than a well-made one…

Review of Apostle (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 14 Oct 2018

Apostle blends atmospheric storytelling with grisly brutality to mixed results, but makes for an effectively nasty (and bizarre) horror movie overall…

Review of The Old Man & the Gun (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 14 Oct 2018

The Old Man & the Gun is a pleasantly breezy cops and (aging) robbers tale anchored by Redford's charismatic performance - be it his last one or not…

Review of Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 11 Oct 2018

Goosebumps 2 is perhaps more successful than its predecessor when it comes to being genuinely menacing and scary for the juice box crowd, yet…

Review of The Oath (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 03 Oct 2018

The Oath is a clumsy, but ambitious directorial debut for Barinholtz and provides a blisteringly satirical examination of the modern political divide…

Review of A Star Is Born (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 27 Sep 2018

Fueled by strong performances and Cooper's precise direction, A Star is Born is a moving (and tear-jerking) love story by way of showbiz melodrama…

Review of The Predator (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 10 Sep 2018

The Predator aims to revitalize the sci-fi action franchise with fresh ideas, but succeeds at delivering mindless action more than cohesive mythology…

Review of The Nun (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 06 Sep 2018

The Nun is a thinly-sketched Conjuring spinoff that's light on real scares, but offers enough stylish atmosphere to make up (some of) the difference…

Review of The Little Stranger (2018)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 29 Aug 2018

The Little Stranger is a gripping adaptation that's more Gothic drama than horror-thriller, but may haunt you long after its credits are done rolling…
