Review of First Reformed (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 31 Mar 2018

Review of Hereditary (2018)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 30 Mar 2018

It’s a supremely effective gauntlet of supernatural horror that’s also, at blackened heart, a grueling domestic drama about how trauma,…

Review of God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness (2018)

By Vadim Rizov (155) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 28 Mar 2018

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 28 Mar 2018

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Mar 2018

Review of Revenge (2017)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Mar 2018

The film works best if you approach it as a fantasy, with Jen as a near-supernatural angel of vengeance; otherwise, it’s easy to get hung…

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Mar 2018

Ready Player One, based on the bestseller of the same name, is a pandering, crassly commercial victory of intellectual property law that’s…

Review of Midnight Sun (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 23 Mar 2018

Review of Sherlock Gnomes (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 22 Mar 2018

Most of the movie’s star power has been harnessed without much obvious reason, right down to the movie’s seeming origins as a delivery…

Review of Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Mar 2018

Review of Unsane (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Mar 2018

Review of I Kill Giants (2017)

By Katie Rife (451) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Mar 2018

Review of I Can Only Imagine (2018)

By Jesse Hassenger (800) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Mar 2018
