Review of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Legend of Everfree (2016)

By Sherilyn Connelly (422) for SF Weekly (560) on 23 Nov 2016

The result is more of a hang-out film than the first three, which is not necessarily a bad thing, and Everfree can't be accused of treading…

Review of The Handmaiden (2016)

By Sherilyn Connelly (422) for SF Weekly (560) on 26 Oct 2016

Review of The Late Bloomer (2016)

By Sherilyn Connelly (422) for Village Voice (8,525) on 04 Oct 2016
