By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Mar 2019

Review of Us (2019)

By Randall Colburn (93) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 08 Mar 2019

Review of Gloria Bell (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 Mar 2019

By Noel Murray (1,901) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Feb 2019

Review of Greta (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Feb 2019

Review of Paddleton (2019)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 20 Feb 2019

Review of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 20 Feb 2019

As an act of storytelling, it’s curiously perfunctory, never rising to the level of effort and care put into creating its cornucopia of visual…

Review of Fighting with My Family (2019)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 13 Feb 2019

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Feb 2019

Review of Hotel by the River (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Feb 2019

But despite its wry tone, the movie offers, in the character of Young-hwan, one of the filmmaker’s more caustic artist stand-ins…

Review of Isn't It Romantic (2019)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 12 Feb 2019

It’s a feature-length in-joke for fans who will always pause if My Best Friend’s Wedding pops up during a lazy Saturday afternoon channel-surfing…

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 05 Feb 2019

Review of Native Son (2019)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 02 Feb 2019

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 01 Feb 2019
