2002 movie reviews
  1. The Holdovers won’t blow you away in any particular category of filmmaking, but in the capable hands of Payne, every one of these categories is above average, making the overall film equally enjoyable and well-made.
  2. It’s a film like no other that you’ll see this year, and though not everything works, River is a time loop jaunt that isn’t easy to forget, bolstered by fantastic performances and a deep sense of fun.
  3. There’s Something in the Barn is a horror comedy that seems destined to be a cult classic. It ultimately delivers on its premise and has a whole lot of fun while doing so.
  4. It is Baig’s vision that makes We Grown Now sing in a way that is totally incomparable. Every shot, every musical choice, everything that makes a riveting movie is on display and at its very best here.
  5. Occasionally intense and always interesting, Sri Asih is certainly worth a watch.
  6. Reptile gets an extra edge thanks to its rock-solid cast and sufficiently gripping mystery, but it never coalesces into anything incredible.
  7. A lot happens, story-wise, but if the film had just followed Sylvia and Saul learning how to be around each other, it would've been enough.
  8. Mimang is exactly the film it sets out to be: Gentle, indirect but never apologetic.
  9. Though there is one climactic heist the film rests on, there are a couple of mini crime sprees that come in the first act that set the tone for the finale. Combined with an absolute masterclass of an action set piece, Smugglers is a movie with a lot on its mind and expresses it in a very entertaining way.
  10. The exceptional camera work by Kore-eda and tender script from Yuji Sakamoto is a near-perfect pairing. Together, this dynamic duo created a great film that enabled the cast to put every ounce of emotion into their performances.
  11. The film presents a bold vision of what movies can and should be and, ultimately, it's a more exhilarating experience to watch a movie of this scale take risks and fall short than it is to see a blockbuster play it safe and deliver mediocre results.
  12. Love at First Sight has the potential to be a go-to choice whenever one is feeling in the mood for a light cry and swoon.
  13. Poolman is an unfunny spoof of neo-noir thrillers with hazy direction, even messier storytelling, and unbearable dialogue.
  14. Ultimately, Cassandro is a touching tale of a remarkable person who paved the path for others to find liberation and acceptance through their chosen art.
  15. While not flawless in execution, it's daringly creative — the kind of movie that will inevitably cause those who see it to start talking about other movies as a way of understanding
  16. The film’s disparate elements and overarching themes don’t entirely come together by the end, leaving the story’s emotional throughline weakened as a result.
  17. Those willing to embark on Fremont's modest, gently heartbreaking journey will find themselves rewarded by what it has to offer.
  18. Thank You For Coming comes close to being a definitive sex comedy for women, with Bhumi Pednekar's star turn offering laughs and life lessons to spare.
  19. It may not be the best biopic ever told, but people will certainly walk away from Rustin more educated, inspired to be the change they want to see in the world, and grateful that movies like this are willing to tell the truth about buried history.
  20. A Million Miles Away is genuine in the way it presents its story, and the struggle Hernández endures, but it’s also so laser-focused on his space goals that it forgets to explore his inner life.
  21. It’s goofy and relies heavily on common tropes, failing to offer insight into the players as people outside their team.
  22. It isn’t the best in its genre, of course, but the commitment from Keaton, as actor and director, is more than enough for me to rally behind this film for another watch.
  23. A satisfying David vs. Goliath tale of justice, The Burial is the type of film you’d watch for the history lesson, stay for the entertainment, and return to see a wonderful cast let loose in all the best ways imaginable.
  24. Ultimately, Pain Hustlers is a mixed bag of entertainment that opts for flashiness instead of focusing on the important elements of the story at hand — the people affected by the carelessness of others.
  25. Dumb Money is a crowd-pleasing story with great performances and a script that keeps it simple.
  26. Perhaps one of the most provocative and strongest satires in recent memory, American Fiction contains wickedly smart writing, superb performances, and messaging so in-your-face that it could almost be easy to miss.
  27. While showing good potential overall, Kendrick’s directorial debut is hindered by tonal imbalances and poor editing.
  28. A Haunting in Venice is standard Hercule Poirot mystery fare that is given a boost thanks to the stunning visuals and supernatural happenings.
  29. Bottoms nearly has it all and even where it falls short, it is still far bolder than much of anything released by major studios in the last few years.
  30. The film is still very watchable, and it has a lot of heart that makes up for its overall lack of focus and certain emotional throughlines. But where cohesiveness and pacing are concerned, this sequel leaves a lot to be desired.
