2002 movie reviews
  1. If nothing else, Emmerich certainly knows how to create catastrophe while providing a sense of hope despite everything. Does that save Moonfall from being messy? No, but surely some will find it enjoyable regardless.
  2. The film is truly a feast for the eyes and ears.
  3. Raiff captures how relationships can blossom through connection and how affecting they can be when the two people in question are both trying to take the next steps in their lives but are not quite sure how to do it. To that end, Cha Cha Real Smooth is a triumph in its exploration of its characters, and the honesty it brings to the forefront.
  4. The film’s characters are human and, while they’re afforded depth and nuance, Ebo isn’t interested in coddling them or excusing Lee-Curtis’ behavior. And it’s in the balanced exploration of characters and religious hypocrisy, the blending of the facetious with the serious that makes the film worth the watch.
  5. From the completely random consortium of villains and bosses to fight scenes that are at times literally shot backward, a lot is going wrong.
  6. The film is heavy-handed in its attempt to be subtle and even Brody’s score can’t save the day, but Clean has its moments.
  7. The lull of Memoria would be non-existent without Swinton’s breathtaking presence, as she grounds and elevates the elusive drama with incredible nuance.
  8. Buoyed by a strong, effective performance by Boyega, and even despite its pitfalls, Corbin’s film is a solid debut feature.
  9. Poignant in parts, sharp and thrilling in others, Emily the Criminal satisfyingly delivers on many levels.
  10. The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild is the sixth movie in the Fox animated franchise, and it is easily the worst entry in the series so far.
  11. The film is ultimately underwhelming and lacking the urgency needed to drive the story and lend realistic consequences to their endeavor.
  12. Diallo knows how to create a deeply disconcerting atmosphere.
  13. Ultimately, Michel Franco’s Sundown feels hollow and too nihilistic for its own good.
  14. Grief and trauma don't provide easy answers and The Fallout doesn't either. But it does take viewers on a poignant journey right alongside its heroine. It can be heavy, but it can also hold moments of humor and joy.
  15. Perhaps if Death of a Telemarketer were 30 minutes shorter, it could’ve made an improvement on its already-threadbare and mirthless plot.
  16. There are inklings of something more interesting and rich beneath the surface, but Dual never brings the pieces together.
  17. For what it is, and for who it is for, Redeeming Love is in its own way an effective showing of the power of love. Undoubtedly, however, a more compelling romantic drama about a woman finding peace with herself could have been told.
  18. Palmer is fantastic in a film that needed more depth and time for Alice to acclimate to her surroundings. Without that, it leaves Alice’s realism and emotional core lacking as it veers wildly into one-note chaos.
  19. With such a slow and empty buildup, After Yang often feels as disconnected as most everyone is in the film.
  20. Bolstered by fantastic, memorable performances, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is an understated, empowering, and charismatic film that does not disappoint.
  21. It's a remarkably compelling film that is sure to stay in the hearts and minds of audiences for years to come.
  22. The Last Thing Mary Saw could've been a gripping queer horror about religious oppression, but is sadly limited by its humdrum and unconvincing plot.
  23. There could have been a lot to love about The King’s Daughter, but it seems the creative team simply did not know what to do with it.
  24. The Royal Treatment is ultimately benign fun. It is sweet, simple, and boring.
  25. The Tiger Rising is too serious and abstract for kids yet too ham-fisted for adults.
  26. Ultimately, The Laureate pushes past the tone and format of a typical biopic to make something fresh, though it holds weak spots in an otherwise compelling story.
  27. All told, Fresh has a lot of potential even though it doesn’t fully deliver. Cave makes a case for herself in a directorial debut that is ambitious, even when all the pieces don’t seamlessly fit together.
  28. Disarmingly relatable and unpredictable, Parallel Mothers is an unflinching and unforgettable look at motherhood, love, and loss.
  29. Shattered is a poorly-acted home invasion tale with laughably predictable twists, amping thorough frustration in viewers by dragging on to no end.
  30. Sex Appeal has good intentions and good instincts, but a lack of nuance torpedoes the whole endeavor.
