My reviews

Reptile (2023)

7.0

It’s not as taut as it could be, but this slow-burn thriller has a captivating lead in Benicio del Toro

Sweetwater (2023)

6.0

One of the first Black players in the NBA is given the Hollywood treatment in this generic biopic that fails to dive deep into its hero’s life

Vasco Rossi: Living It

6.4

This docuseries about a living rock legend, while heartwarming, is highly niche

Overhaul (2023)

5.1

A generic racing-action movie with a more distinct personality from its obvious inspirations

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (2023)

6.4

More of the same post-apocalyptic drama, with a refreshing change of scenery

Love Is in the Air (2023)

6.0

It’s even more cliched and implausible than most standard-issue romantic comedies, but this Aussie film is not without its charms

Encounters

5.0

A sincere but ultimately unconvincing documentary about UFO sightings around the world

Cocoa (2023)

4.7

If you can enjoy it for what it is—a squeaky clean TV movie that’s as much for kids as it is for adults—then Cocoa can be harmless good fun

The Fake Sheikh

7.5

Absorbing interviewees, enthralling visuals, and an unbelievably true story make this docuseries just as gripping as any thriller out there

Spy Kids: Armageddon (2023)

4.5

Shallow kids' entertainment that fulfills the bare minimum of having a coherent plot

Who Killed Jill Dando?

7.7

A compelling true crime documentary about the unsolved murder of the UK’s “TV Diana”

Afire (2023)

7.2

An enigmatic German drama that constantly simmers with all kinds of tension

Curated by humans, not algorithms.
