Renee Cuisia is the lead curator at A Good Movie to Watch. In her spare time, she likes to watch K-dramas and analyze them to death. She’s also seen You’ve Got Mail one too many times but is still convinced it’s one of the greatest films out there.
My reviews
Dark Matter
7.3
Another exciting Apple TV+ sci-fi series pits Joel Edgerton at the center of the multiverse
Swagger
8.0
Combining impressive athleticism, relevant social themes, and heartwarming performances, Swagger is a noteworthy entry in the sports drama genre
Unfrosted (2024)
6.8
A fun but ultimately too-childish romp about the discovery of the Pop-Tart
Turtles All the Way Down (2024)
7.1
A sweet and relatable coming-of-age drama that brings mental health and economic realities to the fore
Prom Dates (2024)
6.7
A cute but ultimately cliched take at the “night before prom” teen film
The Contestant (2023)
7.0
A breakthrough in reality TV reveals the cruel lengths the media is willing to go to in exploiting a person’s misery for entertainment
The Idea of You (2024)
6.9
A smart albeit dry romantic comedy that unwittingly contradicts its empowering message
A Man in Full
5.0
A star-studded cast and a timely premise can’t save this stilted, badly directed business drama set in the South
City Hunter (2024)
6.7
Cool graphics and choreography can’t save this live-action adaptation’s hackneyed story and misogynistic humor
Problemista (2024)
8.6
Dark, weird, poignant, and funny, this debut feature by Los Espookys star Julio Torres is a modern parable of the American Dream
Elsbeth
7.0
Set in New York with an irresistibly charming lead, this spin-off from The Good Wife makes for a simple but entertaining watch
Franklin
6.8
Despite impressive turns in the past, Michael Douglas is a letdown in this period drama about the great Benjamin Franklin
