Bonnie and Clyde
An uneven movie whose lack of polish in storytelling and cinematography is likely a result of originating much of the modern narrative and cinematic techniques it employs.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
This challenging contemplation on vengeance and redemption is worth the watch if you can stomach its bleaker than bleak tone.
An Officer and a Gentleman
Rough around the edges but with a compelling second half that redeems the picture.
The Manchurian Candidate
This film has neither the tension nor the adrenaline to keep up with modern political thrillers.
Parasite
This South Korean masterpiece isn’t the flashiest first watch, but with time to digest its thoughtful and precise filmmaking it reveals itself to be worthy of its acclaim.
Ford v Ferrari
An auto racing movie with so-so racing but excellent everything else.
Love & Sex
This movie about personal romantic history has all the storytelling flair of an anthropologist’s doctoral thesis.
Table 19
Misleading marketing, disappointing movie.
Defendor
A deconstructed superhero movie without a point.
Knives Out
An amazingly fun, genre defying who-done-it with plenty of exciting twists and turns on the way to its conclusion.
Giant
A sprawling western whose ambitious scope is the source of both its best and worst qualities.
Nurse Betty
This movie gambles on some bold choices, none of which come up winners.
