GENTLE MONSTER touches on something very real and upsetting about male predators and the women who unexpectedly find themselves in their orbit. But Lea Seydoux isn't enough to save this underwhelming drama. latimes.com/entertainment-ar…
Jason Osder's LET THE FIRE BURN is one of the great documentaries. So I was curious to see his new film, co-directed with William Lafi Youmans, about the still-unsolved murder of a Palestinian-American activist. Here's my review of WHO KILLED ALEX ODEH? latimes.com/entertainment-ar…
For @TheAVClub, I wrote about THE GREATEST SHOW YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF and pondered how SCTV began a proud tradition of sketch shows that would forever be compared to SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. avclub.com/sctv-the-greatest…

‘The Mosquito Bowl’ review: Peter Berg’s hollow Second World War drama follows college football stars to the battlefield. By @TimGrierson screendaily.com/reviews/the-…
This is the time of year when incredible movies seem to be opening every weekend. But there's also absolute garbage like Peter Berg's THE MOSQUITO BOWL, which is both a bad war movie and a bad sports drama. screendaily.com/reviews/the-…

Calling all critics, voters, and list-makers! My annual feature tracking the films getting awards-qualifying runs is up.
This will be updated through December. If you are a distributor and your run is not listed here, get in touch.
Here's all the 2026 films having one-week, awards-qualifying theatrical runs this year: thefilmstage.com/all-2026-fi…
Like many people watching NFL games right now, I just saw this "Full of Hate" ad from America Next that argues that "Liberals are the new racists." It's so pathetic. Imagine knowing someone who actually believes this nonsense.
For the @latimes, I reviewed the exceptional FATHERLAND. latimes.com/entertainment-ar…
I disliked JOJO RABBIT without completely loathing it. But Taika Waititi's KLARA AND THE SUN is the worst kind of sentimental, quirky/cutesy drivel. latimes.com/entertainment-ar…
For the A.V. Club, I wrote about ALI G: WHO IZ I? and Sacha Baron Cohen's long fixation on America. avclub.com/sacha-baron-cohen…

‘Clayface’ review: The Batman villain gets an edgy spin-off in James Watkins’ gory, predictable body horror says @TimGrierson #Clayface screendaily.com/reviews/clay…
I like that DC Studios takes some chances with its dark, gory villain origin story CLAYFACE. But there's a reason why most moviegoers aren't familiar with this subpar character. screendaily.com/reviews/clay…
Like the expert thief he plays, John Turturro brings a marvelous sense of precision to the melancholy thriller THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK. screendaily.com/reviews/the-…
Fresh off his Tony win, Alden Ehrenreich impresses as a Tom Ripley-like figure in A TALENT FOR MURDER. But this Highsmith-ian thriller ends up dead on arrival. screendaily.com/reviews/a-ta…

We mourn the loss of our brilliant, beloved colleague Ann Hornaday, longtime film critic for The Washington Post and author of “Talking Pictures: How to Watch Movies” and an upcoming book on ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN. A gift of a critic, writer and friend. washingtonpost.com/obituarie…
For @Screendaily, I reviewed Lee Chang-dong's wonderful POSSIBLE LOVE. screendaily.com/reviews/poss…
