    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

    ★★★½

    With unsurprisingly gorgeous visuals, a flawlessly crafted soundtrack, and the return of spectacular voice talent, Across the Spider-verse almost lives up to its potential as a sequel to, for my money, the best superhero film to date. Unfortunately, it buckles a little under its own weight. In an effort to tell an epic and emotionally compelling story, it largely forgoes being fun. I can only hope that once part two finally releases, it sticks the landing set up by this film.

    What We Do in the Shadows

    ★★★★

    I don’t want to write a one sentence joke review, but I’m struggling to come up with anything funnier to say than:

    We’re werewolves, not swearwolves.

    The Muppet Christmas Carol

    ★★★★★

    The genius of this film is having Michael Caine play Scrooge completely straight. No winking at the camera, no fourth wall breaks, just an incredible actor delivering an amazing performance…surrounded by Muppets.

  • First Cow

    First Cow

    ★★★★★

    Quiet, atmospheric, and deliberate; First Cow is a beautiful story about kindness in an unforgiving place, and friendship forged in the pursuit of a better life, together.
