Underwater (2020)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 9th, 2020 - Movie Reviews

Underwater gets the job done. I liked it a lot. Heck, I’m likely to head to the theatre and see it again before January ends.

Uncut Gems (2019)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 23rd, 2019 - Movie Reviews

There is nothing polite about brothers Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie’s newest hyper-adrenalized ticking clock drama Uncut Gems.

Black Christmas (2019)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 14th, 2019 - Movie Reviews

But this new Black Christmas is a heck of a lot more than a talented filmmaker beating a socially-conscious drum. Takal has manufactured a monstrously entertaining horror riff that intelligent audiences of all backgrounds, races and genders will hopefully find just as much fun to watch as I did, this merry little not-really-a-remake remake a gleefully malevolent horror gift I’m happy I took the time to unwrap.

Rabid (2019)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - December 14th, 2019 - Movie Reviews

This new Rabid definitely has bite, and while that it fails to draw any more blood than that produced by a pinprick is undeniably a problem, it’s not a big enough on that I can entirely dismiss what it is the filmmakers have done here.

Knives Out (2019)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 27th, 2019 - Movie Reviews

Rian Johnson’s marvelous who-done-it (and how’d-they-do-it) all-star murder mystery Knives Out is more than just a witty modern-day riff on a familiar Agatha Christie-like scenario.

The Good Liar (2019)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 15th, 2019 - Movie Reviews

Because Condon and Hatcher don’t drop any hints or noticeable clues as to what is going on this character-driven mystery comes perilously close to transforming into a ‘70s-style exploitation thriller for the AARP set, which might have been fine had I felt The Good Liar earned such a pivotal change in tone.

The Report (2019)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 15th, 2019 - Movie Reviews

Burns has delivered a pulse-pounding procedural I could not resist, and I can’t help but think that audiences of all political persuasions will end up feeling the same just as long as they can put their differences aside in order to give The Report a look.

Charlie’s Angels (2019)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - November 14th, 2019 - Movie Reviews

Charlie’s Angels is a celebration of diversity and empowerment that had me grinning like a happy 10-year-old.
