Review of Isle of Dogs (2018)

Review of Fifty Shades Freed (2018)

By Jordan Hoffman (1,025) for Vanity Fair (761) on 08 Feb 2018

Review of Black Panther (2018)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 07 Feb 2018

Review of The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)

By Joanna Robinson (8) for Vanity Fair (761) on 05 Feb 2018

The Cloverfield Paradox reaches for so many outlandish twists, turns, and sci-fi tropes that it forgets to build the one thing that genre stories…

Review of Monsters and Men (2018)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 22 Jan 2018

Review of The Tale (2018)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 22 Jan 2018

Review of Tyrel (2018)

By Jordan Hoffman (1,025) for Vanity Fair (761) on 22 Jan 2018

Review of Paddington 2 (2017)

By Yohana Desta (5) for Vanity Fair (761) on 17 Jan 2018

Review of Bright (2017)

By Jordan Hoffman (1,025) for Vanity Fair (761) on 20 Dec 2017

Review of Phantom Thread (2017)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 20 Dec 2017

Review of All the Money in the World (2017)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 20 Dec 2017

Review of The Greatest Showman (2017)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 20 Dec 2017

Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 12 Dec 2017

The Force is, to me, still silly Star Wars mumbo jumbo, but Johnson finds a way to underscore it with humanity, with a classical Greek rumble…

Review of The Post (2017)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 09 Dec 2017
