Quiz Lady (2023) – Movie Review

Hulu’s “Quiz Lady” squanders the comedy talents of Sandra Oh and Awkwafina to deliver a movie meant to play in the background.

Wingwomen – Review

Netflix and Melanie Laurent’s “Wingwomen” is a fun but forgettable action-comedy that is light in drama and plot.

What Happens Later – Review (with Spoilers)

“What Happens Later” may feature the archetypes that made Meg Ryan and David Duchovny staples in the entertainment industry, but they lack the chemistry needed to make this film good.

Anatomy Of A Fall – Review (with Spoilers)

“Anatomy Of A Fall” will likely become this year’s top mystery movie, with the kind of performances that will likely cause the film and its lead actress to resurge in the zeitgeist when it’s time to dole out accolades.

Inshallah a Boy – Review

In what may feel like a slightly familiar underdog story, a woman, who has recently been widowed, has to fight for what’s left from her marriage to secure her comforts and future.

About Dry Grasses Review

While we are the first to call to question why any movie needs to be three hours, “About Dry Grasses” makes the best use of its time through enviable conversations and how it deconstructs its lead.

Perfect Days (2023) – Review and Summary

“Perfect Days” spends nearly an entire hour testing its viewers loyalty, and once it makes an effort to get interesting, it doesn’t compensate for lost time as some may wish it had.

Eileen (2023) – Review and Summary

At the minimum, “Eileen” delivers entertaining performances worth the ticket price, and at max, you will witness at least one performance worthy of a major accolade.

This Place (2023) – Review and Summary

Addressing both characters’ individual cultures and how sometimes the personal clashes with the timing of something romantic, “This Place” is less about causing butterflies and more about how the timing of love can be imperfect, but people can make time if they can and want to.

Wake (2023) – Review and Summary

As usual, a person with a mental illness ends up killing people, with the only difference in “Wake” being that person is a rapper.

Vindicta (2023) – Review and Summary

“Vindicta” is a Latin term that refers to “just revenge,” yet after watching “Vindicta,” viewers might want to enact their own justified revenge on the filmmakers.

Ballerina (2023) – Review

In this simple revenge tale, a young lady’s best friend decides she no longer wants to be alive, which sets off a chain of events to kill off the man who blackmailed her.

Totally Killer (2023) – Review and Summary

“Totally Killer,” as its title implies, is a fun horror movie to watch but ultimately is more content to consume than a new movie to put into your annual Halloween rotation.

Nowhere (2023) – Review and Summary

Netflix’s Spanish-language survival movie “Nowhere” is a great showcase for Anna Castillo, but a familiar story that doesn’t live up to its dystopian premise.

SaW X (2023) – Review and Summary

“SaW X” brings back John and Amanda and tries to milk them both for every last bit of nostalgia possible while failing to realize the franchise has rightfully moved on from them.

The Creator (2023) – Review and Summary

As emotionally stirring as it is beautiful, “The Creator” presents the worst case scenario for humanity’s relationship with robots in such a way that the film has the potential to be seen as a modern classic at best or underrated at worse.

Barber (2023) – Review and Summary

“Barber” has two competing lead storylines, between its lead character’s personal life and case, that conflict and don’t complement each other well.
