Review of The Beguiled (1971)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 07 Jun 2017

A rather daring experiment in subverting audience empathy - almost an art-house 'I Spit On Your Grave,' in which the assault/revenge elements…

Review of Beatriz at Dinner (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 07 Jun 2017

Review of It Comes at Night (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 07 Jun 2017

That's the genius of 'It Comes at Night''s ambiguity: its horror is widely applicable, and its title both makes a promise and asks a question…

Review of Wonder Woman (2017)

Review of The Wizard of Lies (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 May 2017

Review of Alien: Covenant (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 May 2017

Review of Snatched (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 May 2017

The recycled plot mechanics and sappy sidebars keep gumming up the works. Why are people afraid to just make a comedy…

Review of The Handmaid's Tale (1990)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 05 May 2017

Review of Rodney King (2017)

Rodney King' is a powerful piece of work, putting us in his head during that still-shocking beating, Smith counting off the baton hits in…

Review of Get Me Roger Stone (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 04 May 2017

An engrossing portrait of a real bag of garbage, whose accumulation of power tells us much about how we've ended up where we are…

Review of True Conviction (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 04 May 2017

It masterfully weaves together past and present, not only telling the story we've come to see, but the larger one besides…

Review of Copwatch (2017)

Review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 04 May 2017

Review of Whitney: Can I Be Me (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 04 May 2017

Review of The Farthest (2018)
