Seberg
The crowning glory in Seberg, however, is Kristen Stewart, who dazzles with her exceptional talent of magnetism and enchantment
Ride Your Wave (Kimi to, nami ni noretara)
A film with legitimately great emotion and animation, even if it lacks some of the nuance and depth other Yuasa films have
Antigone
Antigone is an angry film that demands to be seen
1917
1917 is an outstanding film that is emotionally impressive within the smaller scale of warfare
Dracula - Season 1
Though it boasts a stellar cast, high production value and an undeniably twisted sense of fun, Dracula is ultimately an exercise in futility and a meaningless attempt to revive source material
Don't F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer - Season 1
Don’t F**k With Cats is adept at remaining engaging throughout and keeps a deeply human undercurrent that underscores the true horror of its story, creating a simultaneously thrilling and sympathetic experience that rises above standard NETFLIX murder documentary fare.
Daniel Isn't Real
A decent starting point for director Adam Egypt Mortimer, who with a stronger cast next time around could very easily create something quite spectacular and more thematically impactful
Ophelia
Best described as if Tumblr had gotten the feature film rights to William Shakespeare — a recipe that is an utter and total painful disaster
Just Mercy
Just Mercy, while having an incredibly familiar narrative, does it right with a black lead for a black story and the result is a more than a terrific feature.
Dan Bremner's BEST OF 2019
Carson Timar's BEST OF 2019
The Grudge
A reliance on tropes causes The Grudge to quickly become more tedious than terrifying
Jexi
Jexi is a film that is bottom of the barrel comedy at every turn
Varda by Agnès
A must-watch film and gives Agnès the send-off she deserves
An Elephant Sitting Still
An Elephant Sitting Still is a lot to take in on initial viewing but it is a work that stays with audiences long after it has cut to black
John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch
John Mulaney & The Sack Lunch Bunch is a beautifully rendered look into the eyes, minds and voices of modern children and an exceptional comedic and musical experience
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Céline Sciamma's Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a gentle and sweeping romantic drama that lacks the tension and palpable energy to classify it as a masterpiece
His Dark Materials - Episode 7: The Fight to the Death + Episode 8: Betrayal
His Dark Materials ends its puzzling first season with a lacklustre cliffhanger
Alexander Holmes's BEST OF 2019
