Life (2017) |
The lazy choice of villain and the throwaway story it occupies serve as reminders that big-budget movies, even given every opportunity to be great, often aren't very good at all. - Willamette Week

Wilson (2017) |
The graphic novel's initial intention was to parody the Sunday funnies, which it executed with an impeccable wit and subtlety that cannot, no matter the cartoonishly exaggerated characters and original block font titles, be translated perfectly to film. - Willamette Week

Donald Cried (2016) |
Donald Cried employs that darkly comedic, funny but almost unwatchable sensibility that is slowly becoming... the dominant vocabulary of modern funniness -- but its sharp realism makes it a unique chunk of low-budget gold. - Willamette Week

The Stopover (2016) |
The experiences of its characters aren't exploited for melodrama, nor are they placed in neat boxes; they simply are, and the result is stunning. - Willamette Week

Fifty Shades Darker (2017) |
Darker discusses consent, sexual boundaries, trauma and relationship autonomy with a frankness that honestly makes it, despite soap-opera drama and predictability, a pretty good movie. - Willamette Week

A Cure for Wellness (2016) |
A piece of pseudo-arty Euro-horror shlock, A Cure for Wellness boorishly appropriates motifs from movies much better than it and offers no narrative payoff whatsoever. - Willamette Week

Gold (2016) |
On top of being narratively formless and about 45 minutes too long, its protagonist is perfectly deplorable. - Willamette Week

Monster Trucks (2016) |
Narratively, the story is dumbly predictable, but some choices made in its telling are fresh. - Willamette Week

Jackie (2016) |
This film is less an isolated Jackie Kennedy biopic than a dark and conceptual statement on how the American people classifies, experiences and remembers historic tragedies. - Willamette Week

Kate Plays Christine (2016) |
By trying to be both a documentary and a biopic, the film fails to be either, and its central dual characters fall flat. - Willamette Week
