Harriet Review

Now, let's retire the slavery narrative, especially the ones as generically formulaic as this.

Vice Review

While we follow the story of Cheney’s path to power, you see the not-so-subtle commentary of Adam McKay slowly raising a middle finger to Republicans.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? Review

This might be the only movie to captivatingly make my pulse pound over someone searching through letters at an archive.

The Front Runner Review

This movie actively pissed me off, not for its major flaws, but because of the depiction of journalism.

The Old Man and The Gun Review: Redford’s Finest Finale

It's as if Redford was hanging out with Paddington Bear and his pleasantness just rubbed off on him.

White Boy Rick Review: Little Substance For Intriguing True Story

For a biopic centered around the world’s youngest Kingpin, “White Boy Rick” plays it incredibly safe.

American Animals Review

You see this, Clint Eastwood?! This is how you incorporate your real life subjects into your biographical film.

Molly's Game Review

You know how Beyonce said a diva is a female version of a hustler? Well Molly Bloom may the perfect replacement for the word diva because she is the overall definition of a hustler.

I, Tonya Review

It is impressive to see how far Margot Robbie has come as an actress because this is one of her best performances of her career and she's just getting started.

The Disaster Artist Review

I honestly think this is the best performance of Franco’s career.

Victoria & Abdul Review

This movie might as well should've been called ‘VICTORIA & abdul’ because this movie is primarily Dench’s movie.

American Made Review

This movie is ‘Narcos’ meets ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ and I love it.

Battle of the Sexes Review

If ‘Battle of the Sexes’ was released a decade ago, I would've considered this is one of the best movies of all time.

Stronger Review

This may be the second consecutive year where a film centered on events of the Boston Marathon Bombing end up on my best movie of the year list, and I don’t know how to feel about that.

Detroit Review

Detroit is one of those films that after viewing it, you would need to go to a bar, get a drink, and think about how fucked up society is.

All Eyez on Me Review

If there were ever a disjointed made-for-BET R-rated movie, it would be this.

Megan Leavey Review

A war drama biopic about a woman and her war dog? I have never heard of that before.

Patriot's Day Review

What Peter Berg can truly capture (which can be said for now all of his films) is the human spirit. As much as it’s hard to admit this, Patriots Day does, in fact, brings out the true American patriot out of you.

Loving Review

Recently there has been a good amount of film with a similar theme of social injustice. From The Birth of a Nation to even Zootopia these films brought out strong messages of discrimination and racism people face in communities today. But none of these films are as powerful as Jeff Nichols’ Loving.

Bleed For This Review

If you ever wanted to see Miles Teller as a boxer with a Rhode Island accent, then this is the film for you.

Lion Review

The film features a largely known cast who has been in other Award nominated films, but the film truly held by Sunny Pawer who plays Young Saroo. For the first hour, this is HIS movie. It is Patel, Mara, and Kidman that the film markets but Pawar’s performance is truly outstanding.

Jackie Review

You could tell Portman had to do a plenty of research for this role because she embodies both the look and voice of Kennedy herself. If you listen to recordings of Kennedy's voice it's exactly alike to the voice Portman puts on and it is flawless.

The Birth of A Nation Review

What I love about slavery films nowadays, [which is a puzzling sentence to start a review with] is that the directors that make you feel bad about slavery are mostly directors of African descent. With a film that sparked so much controversy since its debut at Sundance, everyone should know about the empowerment of Birth of a Nation.

Deepwater Horizon Review

What makes Peter Berg a great director is how well he can mix and match a genre. With this film you don’t really see much actors or acting performance wise but more as real people

Queen of Katwe Review

What makes this film works comparison to other Disney films is that we are centered on a girl who doesn’t know where she belongs and her unexpected gift helps her find her way.
