13. Flash Gordon, 1980: Princess Aura. Welcome to Mingo City. Home to the gaudy and cruel court of Ming the Merciless. After subjugation you will be brought before the court for sentencing. Obviously, your sentence is death but whoa… Who is that foxy lady prowling the court wearing the gold skeletal bikini armor, rainbow plush scarfs and cape, towing an umpa lumpa sex slave on a gold chain? Never mind boring goody two shoes, Dale whatsherface, meet Princess Aura, played by Ornella Muti. She will burn her omnipotent father and her fiancĂ©e at the drop of a hat for a beef cake like Flash Gordon but prefers her men drugged and in coffins. Like a real femme fatale, when she is caught and brought in for flogging she wears her finest red spandex bodysuit and melts masacara with her hot pouty tears even better than Tammy Faye Bakker.

“Something thatâs benefitted me is to not really wait for projects to come my wayâto make things that interest me and to create things even if no one is asking for them. It helps me to learn my craft, but also to have things that become calling cards in a way. Maybe thatâs a short film or music video. But you donât need anyoneâs permission to go out and start making things. I always say absorb as much as you can. Watch everything and try to understand how it was made. You need to remember to focus on the story and the characters and how the camera is interacting with them.” – #WednesdayWisdom from #FiFellow and#GhostStory DP @DrozPalermo.

Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of film critics two questions and publishes the results on Monday. (The answer to the second, “What is the best film in theaters right now?”, can be found at the end of this post.)
While this survey typically asks smart critics to direct readers toward good movies, we hope that the reverse is also true, and that these posts help movies (good or bad) direct readers towards smart critics.
In that spirit, we asked our panel of critics to reflect on their favorite piece of film criticism that they’ve ever written (and we encouraged them to put aside any sort of modesty when doing so).
Their responses provide rich and far-reaching insight into contemporary film criticism, and what those who practice it are hoping to achieve with their work.

Let’s cut right to the chase. Christopher Nolan is probably my favourite working director, and going five thousand words deep on his career after “Dunkirk” was an itch I’d been waiting to scratch for nearly a decade. “The Dark Knight” was my dorm-room poster movie — I’m part of the generation that explored films through the IMDb Top 250 growing up — though as my cinematic horizons expanded and my understanding of storytelling grew, I didn’t leave Nolan’s work behind as I did the likes of “Scarface” and “The Boondock Saints.” What’s more, each new film by Nolan hits me like a tonne of bricks. I’m waiting, almost eagerly, for him to disappoint me. It hasn’t happened yet, and I needed to finally sit down and figure out why.
In “Convergence At ‘Dunkirk,’” by far the longest piece I’ve ever written, I’d like to think I unpacked a decade worth of my awe and admiration, for a filmmaker who uses the studio canvas to explore human beings through our relationship to time. Tarkovsky referred to cinema as “sculpting in time.” Time disorients. Time connects us. Time travels, at different speeds, depending on one’s relationship to it, whether in dreams or in war or in outer space, and time can be captured, explored and dissected on screen.
What’s more, Nolan’s films manipulate truth as much as time, as another force relative to human perception, determining our trajectories and interpersonal dynamics in fundamental ways. All this is something I think I knew, instinctively, as a teenage viewer, but putting words to these explorations, each from a different time yet connected intrinsically, is the written criticism that I most stand by. It felt like something that I was meant to write, as I interrogated my own evolving emotional responses to art as time went on.

At the 2017 Sundance premiere of Miguel Arteta’s “Beatriz at Dinner,” starring Salma Hayek, I found myself in shock at the reactions I heard from the mostly-white audience at the Eccles Theatre. I was watching a different movie, one that spoke to me as an immigrant, a Latino, and someone who’s felt out of place in spaces dominated by people who’ve never been asked, “Where are you really from?” That night I went back to the condo and wrote a mountain of thoughts and personal anecdotes that mirrored what I saw on screen.
This was a much different piece from what I had usually written up to that point: coverage on the Best Foreign Language Oscar race, pieces on animation, interviews with internationally acclaimed directors, and reviews out of festivals. Those are my intellectual passions, this; however, was an examination on the identity that I had to built as an outsider to navigate a society were people like me rarely get the jobs I want.
My editor at Remezcla, Vanessa Erazo, was aware of the piece from the onset and was immediately supportive, but it would take months for me to mull it over and rework it through multiple drafts until it was ready for publication in time for the film’s theatrical release. In the text, I compared my own encounters with casual racism and ignorance with those Hayek’s character faces throughout the fateful gathering at the center of the film. The reception surpassed all my expectations. The article was shared thousands of times, it was praised, it was criticized, and it truly confronted me with the power that my writing could have.
A few months later in September, when Trump rescinded DACA, I wrote a social media post on my experience as an undocumented person working in the film industry, and how difficult it is to share that struggle in a world were most people don’t understand what it means to live a life in the shadows. The post was picked up by The Wrap and republished in the form of an op-ed, which I hope put a new face on the issue for those who didn’t directly knew anyone affected by it before. Once again that piece on “Beatriz at Dinner” regained meaning as I found myself filled with uncertainty.

Like many writers, I tend to subconsciously disown anything I’ve written more than a few months ago, so I read this question, in practice, as what’s my favorite thing I’ve written recently. On that front, I’d say that the review of “Phantom Thread” that I wrote over at my blog comes the closest to what I most desire to do as a critic. I try to think about a movie from every front: how the experience is the result of each aspect, in unique quantities and qualities, working together. It’s not just that the acting is compelling or the score is enveloping, it’s that each aspect is so tightly wound that it’s almost indistinguishable from within itself. A movie is not an algebra problem. You can’t just plug in a single value and have everything fall into place.
“Phantom Thread” is Paul Thomas Anderson’s dreamy cinematography. It is Jonny Greenwood’s impeccably seductive, baroque music. It is Vicky Krieps’s ability to perfectly shatter our preconceptions at every single turn as we realize that Alma is the movie’s actual main character. We often talk about how good films would be worse-off if some part of it were in any way different. In the case of “Phantom Thread,” you flat-out can’t imagine how it would even exist if these things were changed. When so many hot take thinkpieces try to explain away every ending or take a hammer to delicate illusions, it was a pleasure to try and understand how a movie like this one operates on all fronts to maintain an ongoing sense of mystique.

I don’t know if it’s my best work, but a landmark in my life as a critic was surely a review of Chaplin’s “The Circus,” in time for the release of its restoration in 2010. I cherish this piece , written for Slant Magazine, for a number of reasons. For one, I felt deeply honored to shed more light on probably the least known and least respected of Chaplin’s major features, because it’s a film that demonstrates such technical virtuosity it dispels once and for all any notion that his work is uncinematic. (Yes, but what about the rest of his filmography you ask? My response is that any quibbles about the immobility of Chaplin’s camera suggest an ardent belief that the best directing equals the most directing.) For another, I was happy this review appeared in Slant Magazine, a publication that helped me cut my critical teeth and has done the same for a number of other critics who’ve gone on to write or edit elsewhere. That Slant is now struggling to endure in this financially ferocious landscape for criticism is a shame – the reviews I wrote for them around 2009-10 helped me refine my voice even that much more than my concurrent experience at Entertainment Weekly, where I had my day job. And finally, this particular review will always mean a lot to me because it’s the first one I wrote that I saw posted in its entirety on the bulletin board at Film Forum. For me, there was no surer sign that “I’d made it”.

No way would I dare to recommend any pieces of my own, but I don’t mind mentioning a part of my work that I do with special enthusiasm. Criticism, I think, is more than the three A’s (advocacy, analysis, assessment); it’s prophetic, seeing the future of the art from the movies that are on hand. Yet many of the most forward-looking, possibility-expanding new films are in danger of passing unnoticed (or even being largely dismissed) due to their departure from familiar modes or norms, and it’s one of my gravest (though also most joyful) responsibilities to pay attention to movies that may be generally overlooked despite (or because of) their exceptional qualities. (For that matter, I live in fear of missing a movie that needs such attention.)
But another aspect of that same enthusiasm is the discovery of the unrealized future of the past—of great movies made and seen (or hardly seen) in recent decades that weren’t properly discussed and justly acclaimed in their time.”. Since one of the critical weapons used against the best of the new is an ossified and nostalgic classicism, the reëvaluation of what’s canonical, the acknowledgment of unheralded masterworks—and of filmmakers whose careers have been cavalierly truncated by industry indifference—is indispensable to and inseparable from the thrilling recognition of the authentically new.

It’s a piece on two of my favorite films of 2017, “Lady Bird” and “Call Me By Your Name”, and about how their very different modes of storytelling speak to the different sorts of stories we tell ourselves. Objectively, I don’t know if this is my best work in terms of pure style and craft, but I do think it’s the most emblematic in terms of what I value in cinema. I think every film is, in some way, a treatise on how certain memories are remembered, and I think cinema matters partly because the best examples of it are prisms through which the human experience is refracted.
Above everything else, every movie has to begin with a good story, and the greatest stories are the ones that mirror not just life, but the ways in which life is distorted and restructured through the process of remembering. Every aspect of a film, from its screenplay on down, must add something to the film’s portrayal of remembering, and “Lady Bird” and “Call Me By Your Name” accomplish this organic unity of theme with such charm yet in such distinct ways, that they were the perfect counterpoints to each other, as well as the perfect stand-ins for cinema as a whole, for me.
Liam Conlon (@Flowtaro), Ms En Scene
My favorite piece of my own work is definitely “The Shape of Water’s” Strickland as the “Ur-American.” I’m proud of it because it required me to really take stock of all the things that Americans are taught from birth to take as given. That meant looking at our history of colonialism, imperialism, racism, anticommunism and really diving into how all Americans, whether they’re liberal or conservative, can internalize these things unless they take the time to self-examine. Just as “Pan’s Labyrinth’s” despotic Captain Vidal was a masterful representation of Francisco Franco’s fascism, Richard Strickland represents a distinctly American kind of fascism. Writers Guillermo del Toro and Vanessa Taylor took great care in Strickland’s creation, and my piece was my own way of self-examining to make sure I never become or abide by a person like Strickland ever again.
Robert Daniels (@812filmreviews), Freelance
This is tricky, but “Annihilation” is definitely my favorite piece of film criticism that I’ve written. My writing style is a combination of criticism and gifs, and sometimes the words are better than the gifs, and the gifs are better than the words. With “Annihilation,” I thought the balance was perfect . My favorite portion: “Lena is just an idea, part of an equation that’s been erased from a chalkboard and rewritten with a different solution. The shimmer is part of her, even down to the DNA” is up there as one of my best. It was also a struggle to write because that film had more wild theories than the Aliens in Roswell. Also, the amount of research I had to do, combining Plato’s Ideal Forms, Darwin, the Bible, and Nietzsche, was absurd. However, it did make it easier to find matching gifs. The result made for my most studious, yet lighthearted read.
Alonso Duralde (@ADuralde), The Wrap
I’m the worst judge of my own material; there’s almost nothing I’ve ever written that I don’t want to pick at and re-edit, no matter how much time has passed. But since, for me, the hardest part of film criticism is adequately praising a movie you truly love, then by default my best review would probably be of one of my favorite films of all time, Charlie Kaufman’s “Synecdoche, New York.”
David Ehrlich (@davidehrlich), IndieWire
I can’t summon the strength to re-read it, but I remember thinking that my piece on grief and “Personal Shopper” was emblematic of how I hope to thread individual perspective into arts criticism.
Shelley Farmer (@ShelleyBFarmer), Freelance for RogerEbert.com and Publicist at Film Forum
My favorite piece is a very recent one: For this year’s Women Writers Week on Roger Ebert, I wrote about “Phantom Thread”, “Jane Eyre,” and twisted power dynamics in hetero romance . I loved that it allowed me to dig deep into my personal fixations (19th century literature, gender, romance as power struggle), but – more importantly – it was exciting to be part of a series that highlighted the breadth of criticism by women writers.
Chris Feil (@chrisvfeil), Freelance for The Film Experience, This Had Oscar Buzz Podcast
My answer to this would be kind of a cheat, as my favorite work that I do is my weekly column about movie music called Soundtracking that I write over at The Film Experience. Soundtracks and needle drops have been a personal fascination, so the opportunity to explore the deeper meaning and context of a film’s song choices have been a real labor of love. Because of the demands and time constraints of what we do, it can be easy to spend our all of our energy on assignments and chasing freelance opportunities rather than devoting time to a pet project – but I’ve found indulging my own uncommon fascination to be invaluable in developing my point of view. And serve as a constant check-in with my passion. Pushed for a single entry that I would choose as the best, I would choose the piece I wrote on “Young Adult”‘s use of “The Concept” by Teenage Fanclub for how it posits a single song as the key to unlocking both character and narrative.
Candice Frederick (@ReelTalker), Freelance for Shondaland, Harper’s Bazaar
“ Mother ” written for Vice. It’s one of my favorites because it conveys how visceral my experience was watching the movie. It’s truly stifling, uncomfortable, and frantic–and that’s what my review explains in detail. I wanted to have a conversation with the reader about specific aspects of the film that support the thesis, so I did.
Luiz Gustavo (@luizgvt), Cronico de Cinema
Well, I recently wrote a piece for Gazeta do Povo, a major outlet at Paraná state in Brazil, about Guillermo del Toro’s “The Shape of Water” (it is not on their site, but they were kind enough to let me replicate on my own website ). I don’t know the extent of the powers of Google Translator from Portugese to english, so you have to rely on my own account: is a text in which I was able to articulate de cinematographic references in the work of Mr. Del Toro, as well his thematic obsessions, the genre bending and social critique. All of this topics were analyzed in a fluid prose. On top of that, it was really fun to write!

The Followables: 10 Film Critics You Should Follow on Twitter
The world of Twitter can be hard to navigate. We know that youâre already following us @flavorpill , but we decided it would be fun (and possibly helpful) if we rounded up some of our other Twitter favorites in a series we call â The Followables .â This fourth installment of Twitter all-stars spotlights the tweeting *film critics who we love. And weâre always looking for recommendations, too. Do us a favor and leave a comment with anyone who you enjoy who didnât make our list.

@akstanwyck
Who: Anne Thompson of Thompson on Hollywood

Why: Because heâs a bit of a fanboy, and we mean that in the best way possible.
Who: Eugene Hernandez editor-in-chief of indieWIRE
Why: Because he has his finger on the pulse of the indie film world.
@karinalongworth
Who: Karina Longworth, film writer for LA Weekly
Why: Because her tweets are a mashup of off-the-cuff reviews and personal anecdotes that make us feel like we know her.
Who: Melissa Silverstein of Women & Hollywood
Why: Because she looks at the film industry from a feminist perspective, which is way too rare in our humble opinion.

Peter Sciretta runs one of the most important film blogs around, and it certainly has a point of view. So there you go.

How to Share Reviews on Instagram (to Look Like a Pro)
Devyn Perryman
The best ways to post customer reviews on instagram.
If reviews are an important part of your marketing toolbox, then youâre likely wondering how to showcase those hard-earned stars on Instagram.
Although Instagram is a fundamentally different platform than Google or Facebook, where reviews can easily be shared to existing and new customers, there are still ways to create Instagram business reviews.
And since Instagram is a visual-first social-media platform, sharing reviews on Instagram means they need to look good. In other words, you need to emphasize the aesthetic component of sharing Instagram customer reviews.
Thankfully, there are ways to promote your customer reviews and testimonials to make your company look pro-fesh-to-death (and by that I mean professional).
Plus, we'll share with you how you can use NiceJob's review marketing software to share customer reviews directly from the app to your Instagram profile without even having to take any screenshots!
Curious? Letâs hop to it and start sharing those reviews to Instagram.
How to Request a Review on Instagram
First thingâs first: Instagram isnât a platform for collecting reviews. Unlike Google or Facebook, there is no dedicated feature on Instagram for customers to write reviews.
There are lots of great ways to get customer reviews , but it can be difficult on Instagram.
So whatâs the best way to get reviews on Instagram then?
The answer is to engage with customers by delivering an amazing experience so that they leave you positive feedback in Instagram posts and share those posts (and reviews from other platforms) in your own Instagram posts and stories.
This is how to get reviews on Instagram: focus on sharing customer testimonials as social proof.
What Is Social Proof on Instagram?
Social proof reviews are customer reviews and testimonials that âproveâ your reputation as an amazing business.
The term âsocial proofâ means the social phenomenon of humans copying the behaviors of others based on similar experiencesâthis is what reviews and testimonials reflect.
This phenomenon is at the heart of NiceJobâs reputation marketing software . We make it easy to ask for online reviews from customers and share those reviews as stories across social media.
By sharing reviews on Instagram, you can capitalize on social proof for your target audience and grow your sales!
And it's little wonder why this would be a great strategy for your business. Instagram is a huge source of leads for local businesses.
With more than one billion monthly active users (over half of whom are daily active users), Instagram is ripe with potential for your small business. Consider these statistics on selling your services on Instagram and the subsequent opportunities for your company to grow:
- 90% of users follow at least one brand on Instagram;
- 83% of users discover new brands on Instagram; and
- 80% of users claim Instagram helps them when deciding to buy a product or service.
So how can you promote Instagram customer reviews? Below weâll share five tips on how to optimize and leverage customer feedback on your Instagram profile.
6 Ways to Create a Customer-Review Instagram Post
- Use NiceJob's Social Sharing feature
- Link to a reviews page on your Instagram profile.
- Share screenshots of reviews as Instagram posts or stories.
- Create a reviews Instagram Highlight.
- Create eye-catching graphics for your reviews.
- Request a review on Instagram from your customers.
1. Use NiceJob's Social Sharing feature
NiceJob's reputation marketing software comes fully equipped with Social Sharing tools to help you share customer reviews directly from the NiceJob app onto Instagram.
How to Share Customer Reviews on Instagram
Use NiceJob's Social Sharing tool to directly add customer reviews collected from Facebook, Google, Yelp and more to your Instagram profile.
You can edit review captions from pre-selected auto-suggestions, customize the background image and alter text like misspellings or employee names. See how it works:
This feature is handy for companies looking to scale their review game and leverage their reputation on Instagram to increase sales and grow their business.
2. Link to a reviews page on your Instagram profile.
An easy-win for promoting customer reviews to your Instagram audience is to have a dedicated webpage for your reviews and to use the URL space on your Instagram profile to link to those reviews.
If you have a NiceJob account, youâll automatically have a microsite that showcases customer reviews and testimonials from other platforms (such as Google and Facebook) that you can link to on the profile of your Instagram account. Then in your posts or stories, you can direct your audience to hit the link in your bio to see those customer reviews.
And don't worry â if any negative reviews come in, you can ensure that only 4- and 5-star reviews show up to the public, while keeping any 3-star and below ratings for your eyes only to review and improve upon!
3. Share screenshots of reviews as Instagram posts or stories.
Screenshots to the rescue!
With this method, you are taking a screenshot of a review and posting that picture to your Instagram feed or story.
A couple of things to keep in mind when you do this:
- The size of your review will likely not be in the square shape that Instagram loves. So to take a screenshot for an Instagram review, reshape it using a photo-editing tool first.
- Captions are still important. The review may speak volumes about your business, but you can use the Instagram caption as an opportunity to give context to the review and thank the person who left it. You can also explain why reviews are important to your business, softly encouraging others to leave reviews in the future. (Wink đ!)â
- Add customer reviews as the second or third image of a post. If you took photos of the work you completed, consider adding these photos to your Instagram reel and include the screenshot of the review as a testimonial. The images of the completed work will give onlookers a chance to see your quality customer services and the review will highlight how happy your customer was with the finished product.
4. Create a reviews Instagram Highlight.
If you are sharing images of your reviews to Instagram stories, you can create a Highlight on your profile where your reviews can live permanently.
If potential customers are visiting your Instagram profile, they may view this Highlight to see the collection of reviews youâve posted over time.
5. Create eye-catching graphics for your reviews.
Knowing that Instagram is all about the pretty pictures (and the captions), itâs worthwhile to turn your reviews into visually appealing images.
There are many simple-to-use and free tools that can help you create graphics that will be suitable for Instagram. Canva , for instance, is a great option.
Here's how we do it:
And here are some other great examples out there:
6. Request a review on Instagram from your customers.
How to request a review on Instagram? This is a long-game strategy. But if you can get your customers to share reviews of your work to their own Instagram networks, itâs like amplifying word-of-mouth.
Donât forget to ask them to tag your account when they post so you can reshare to your profile!
Here's an example of a NiceJob user posting a shoutout on their own Instagram story:
And some other examples from small businesses who have received customer reviews via Instagram stories:

And there you have it!
These are the five ways to share your hard-earned stars to Instagram while making sure youâre honoring the visual nature of this social-media platform.
At the very least, you can add a link to your profile or you can go all-in and create some sweet graphics.
At the end of the day, sharing your Google reviews , Facebook recommendations, and Instagram reviews (or any social media platform) will solidify your reputation and help bring in more business for your company.

10 Movie Review Examples That Will Help You Write Better Reviews
Studying movie review examples is a great place to start if youâre looking for inspiration for your own movie reviews.Â
This article has gathered different kinds of movie review examples that will help you write better and more insightful reviews in whatever style you choose.
There is an overwhelming library of movie reviews to sift through, but having studied many reviews by Pulitzer Prize-winning film critics along with your average movie review articles published online, Iâve been able to find a few movie reviews that provide a great template for crafting a review of your own.
10 Detailed Movie Review Examples
The Classic Movie Review
A classic movie review example has a neat structure that clearly communicates the authorâs sentiment toward the film in a clean, straightforward manner.
Roger Ebertâs review of North is the perfect example of that.
1. âNorthâ by Roger Ebert
This review starts with a catchy hook, making readers curious for Ebert to elaborate on his statements.
âI have no idea why Rob Reiner, or anyone else, wanted to make this story into a movie, and close examination of the film itself is no help.â
The opening sentence of this movie review example makes it clear to the audience that Ebert did not enjoy the film in question and if they would like to know why, they are encouraged to continue reading.
The whole first paragraph is chock full of strong adjectives setting the tone for the scathing critique this film is about to get.
Moving on to the next paragraph of this movie review example, Ebert gives a quick synopsis of what this film is about, filling the audience in on the story in case theyâre unaware.
âHe [Elijah Wood] plays a kid with inattentive parents, who decides to go into court, free himself of them, and go on a worldwide search for nicer parents.â
Following the paragraph summarizing the main plot of the film, the movie review dives straight into the critique explaining why this film garnered the strong adjectives it received in the opening paragraph:
âThis idea is deeply flawed. Children do not lightly separate from their parents â and certainly not on the evidence provided here, where the great parental sin is not paying attention to their kid at the dinner table.â
In this movie review example, Ebert dives deep into the oddities of the narrative and what makes it so unbelievable.
He questions the directorâs decisions and the plotâs direction as well in these middle paragraphs:
âWhat is the point of the scenes with the auditioning parents?⊠They are not funny. They are not touching. There is no truth in them.â
Ebert uses the middle paragraphs to dissect what does not work in the film.
In the final paragraphs of this movie review example, Ebert closes out by reiterating his sentiments towards the film, giving readers a good idea of whether the movie would be something he would recommend others watch.
âI hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it.â
ââNorthâ is a bad film â one of the worst movies ever made.â
After reading Ebertâs movie review example there is no question of whether he liked the movie or not. I donât know, he mightâve even mentioned hating it at one pointâŠ
And he makes it clear what plot and artistic choices played into his final assessment of the film.
Would you whip out your cash to experience the movie North after reading a review like this?
With this straightforward, informative, evidence-supported review, there is no confusion about the perceived quality of this film.

The Real World Parallel Review
A movie review that can parallel the events occurring within the movie with events occurring outside of the movie shows a deeper level of critical thinking.
This is one of the movie review examples that truly exemplifies a deep critical thinker.
2. âThe Flashâ by Justin Chang
This movie review example starts right away with a brief synopsis of what the movie, The Flash, is about.
ââThe Flashâ is a time-travel story and a cautionary tale, a warning of how dangerous it can be to change the past or mess around with alternate realities.â
Same as with the classic movie review, this reviewer also hints at his overall sentiments towards the film.
ââŠthis initially enjoyable, increasingly sloppy megabucks messâŠâ
This review, unlike the classic movie review, spends more time following the plot of the story through a biased lens, further walking readers through the details of the story.
âHe gets stuck in the past and⊠winds up unwisely joining forces with a teenage version of himself (also Miller, with floppier hair), whoâs had a much happier childhood but doesnât (yet) have the Flashâs superheroic powers.â
After indirectly criticizing the CGI and praising the main actorâs performance, Chang gets into his main criticism of the review: the popular trend of reintroducing old versions of superheroes into new superhero movies.
âReally, though, is nostalgia that satisfying anymore?â
And itâs really this last sentence of the movie review example that ties this compelling thought together, not only concluding the movie but drawing a parallel to how the movie creators are perpetrators of the same mistake that the movieâs main character made.
âLost in an endless game of IP-reshuffling musical chairs, Barry realizes, possibly too late, the futility of dwelling on the past â a fatuous lesson from a movie that canât stop doing the same.â
READ THE FULL REVIEW OF THE FLASH BY JUSTIN CHANG
3. âBonnie and Clydeâ by Roger Ebert
Another great movie review example, using a movie as a sense of societal self-reflection, is Roger Ebertâs review of Bonnie and Clyde . The final sentences of the review say:
ââBonnie and Clydeâ will be seen as the definitive film of the 1960s, showing with sadness, humor, and unforgiving detail what one society had come to⊠it was made now and itâs about us.â

4. âBlack Pantherâ by Soraya Nadia McDonald
Yet another movie review example is this Black Panther review by Soraya Nadia McDonald.
The whole review deep dives into the cultural context of the movie and its timeliness or lack thereof.
âHonestly, the worst thing about Black Panther is that it had to be released in 2018 and not during the term of Americaâs first black president.â
This movie review example walks through the narrative praising the filmâs actors, director, and cinematographer before ending on the note of its cultural relevance.
âPerhaps itâs even capable, just as The Birth of a Nation once was, of helping to steer an entire national conversation.â
READ THE FULL REVIEW OF Black Panther BY Soraya Nadia McDonald
The Storytelling Movie Review
If you have a story of your own that you can parallel with the movieâs story, then connecting the movieâs narrative with your own is a particularly entertaining way to craft your review.
Instead of comparing the film to society as a whole, the following storytelling movie review examples compare the movie to specific stories they pull from their personal life.
5. âThe Helpâ by Wesley Morris
One of my favorite reviews by Pulitzer prize-winning Wesley Morris is written in this style, drawing readers in with his own personal story:
âThree summers ago, I went to visit a friend in West Texas.â
âWhat happened in Texas?â, readers wonder as we curiously continue reading.
After 3 engaging paragraphs narrating a strange, racial encounter in Texas, Morris introduces the movie, The Help .
âThis pretty much captures the cognitive dissonance of watching âThe Helpââ: One womanâs mammy is another manâs mother.â
The following paragraph gives a synopsis of the film and introduces the audience to the main characters:
âMeanwhile, the heart of the film itself belongs to Aibileen Clark (Viola Davis) and Minny Jackson (Octavia Spencer), the two very different maids and best friends at the center of the story.â
The center of this movie review example narrates the happenings of the movie from a biased point of view before presenting some debate points about the movieâs approach to race relations.
ââThe Helpâ joins everything from âTo Kill a Mockingbirdââ to âThe Blind Sideââ as another Hollywood movie that sees racial progress as the province of white do-gooderism.â
Morris then praises the actorsâ performances in this very character-based film but is unable to shake the social weight of the casting that this film requires:
âAnd yet hereâs the question you ask as you watch a black actor in 2011 play a white ladyâs maid, decades and decades after that was the only job a black woman in Hollywood could get. What went through the minds of Davis, Spencer, and Aunjanue Ellis, who plays Hillyâs maid, as they put on those uniforms and went to work?â
Morris finishes off the review sure to reference the personal story that he introduced in the beginning before leaving the reader with something to ponder.
âThese are strong figures, as that restaurant owner might sincerely say, but couldnât they be strong doing something else?â
Morrisâs final statements in this movie review example make it clear his assessment of the filmâs quality is good but its messaging is questionable, allowing the audience to make a judgment on whether theyâd like to see the film for themselves.
âOn one hand, itâs juicy, heartwarming, well-meant entertainment. On the other, itâs an ownerâs manual.â
READ THE FULL REVIEW OF THE HELP BY WESLEY MORRIS
6. âMe Without Youâ by Stephen Hunter
This movie review example also tells a story although itâs not personal.
Instead of starting by talking about the movie or talking about himself, Hunter begins the review like a novel. With an untethered phrase that needs further explanation.
âFriendship isnât rocket science. Itâs much harder.â
He then lists out all of the complexities of trying to maintain a friendship, painting a picture to support his point.
âOh, yeah, itâs easy to say just be loyal and true and that makes you a good friend. But suppose the other person does something that really irks you, like chew gum or vote Democratic?â
Hunter doesnât leave you hanging for too long before segueing into how this thought point relates to the film.
âAnd that thorniness, that dark underbelly of it, is the gist of the acerbic British import âMe Without YouâŠ'â
As usual, a sign of good storytelling, he finishes this movie review example with his full-circle concluding statement on friendship.
âBut the truth is, of course, that friendship matters to those of us who still claim membership in the human raceâŠâ
READ THE FULL REVIEW OF ME WITHOUT YOU BY STEPHEN HUNTER (Under the title: âMeâ: Friendship as Relationship)
The Unconventional Movie Review
A less common but creative and fun way to approach a movie review is to approach it from a different angle or point of view. To write it in a way thatâs unexpected.
7. âETâ by Roger Ebert
In another movie review example from Roger Ebert, instead of approaching this review traditionally, Ebert rather writes the review as a letter to his grandchildren.
Rather than addressing the readers, he addresses his grandchildren in his movie review:
âDear Raven and Emil: Sunday we sat on the big green couch and watched âE.T. The Extra-Terrestrialâ together with your mommy and daddy.â
After noting how his grandchildren reacted to climactic parts of the film, Ebert recounts the events of the movie, ET, continuing to include his grandchildrenâs remarks and reactions.
âThe camera watches Elliott moving around. And Raven, thatâs when you asked me, âIs this E.T.âs vision?â And I said, yes, we were seeing everything now from E.T.âs point of view.â
Ebert uses this opportunity to make a simplified analysis of the directorâs use of POV in the movie, praising the filmâs direction without losing the context of a grandfatherâs letter.
âSome other filmmaker who wasnât so good might have had subtitles saying, âE.T.? Are you out there? Itâs Mommy!â But that would have been dumb.â
Ebert ends this movie review example like anyone would end a letter, with good wishes and a signature.
âWell, thatâs it for this letter. We had a great weekend, kids. I was proud of how brave you both were during your first pony rides. And proud of what good movie critics you are, too. Love, Grandpa Rogerâ
The average person has a 7-8th grade reading level, so a simple letter like this, is not only cute, creative, and endearing but itâs incredibly easy to read and understand the criticâs assessment of the movie.

8. âSpider-Man Into the Spider-Verseâ by IMO Flicks
Another unconventional movie review example is one that I wrote for this blog website.
Instead of writing from my point of view, I decided to write from the point of view of an out-of-touch grandma, someone who may not have the background knowledge to really understand and appreciate the film.
I approached the film this way because I was tired of reviewing Marvel Superhero films but the thought of writing it as an out-of-touch grandma made the review so much more fun and less pressure-filled, even if itâs really not the most straightforward or informational read.
The review does not include a clear synopsis and the critiques of the film waver between genuine observations and areas that the grandma misunderstood.
It was a blast to write.
The grandmother writer uses the remarks of her grandchildren as a voice of reason for the film.
âMy granddaughter told me to rate this spider film [ Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse ] out of 10 points. I initially wanted to give it 4 points out of 10⊠Apparently, my grandchildren think this rating is ridiculous. One of my grandsons almost threw a chair. He gave the film a 200/10, claiming itâs one of the best films heâs ever seen.â
This sort of review may not be as befitting for a serious homework assignment but if thereâs space to think outside the box, I say go for it.
READ THE FULL REVIEW OF Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
The Self-Aware Review
Similar to the unconventional movie review, but not quite as unconventional, these movie review examples are self-aware of their influential power. It breaks the fourth wall of movie reviews so to speak.
9. âManchester By the Seaâ by Ty Burr
This movie review example of Manchester By the Sea wants to encourage you to watch the movie but doesnât want your expectations so high that you donât experience the same subtle unexpected magic that the movie works on viewers.
Burr explains this in the first paragraph:
âNothing destroys an audienceâs appreciation of a small good movie like advance praise.â
Careful to not ruin the audienceâs expectations, Burr goes on to begin every following paragraph with a phrase that denies all of the critiques that follow.
âSo I wonât tell you that Iâve seen âManchester by the Seaâ twice now and both times felt haunted for weeks.â
âI wonât bother you with how the movie stands as a soul-satisfying comeback for its makerâŠâ
âI could say, but I wonât, that weâve all seen too many movies in which a lost soul comes out of his shell and rejoins the human race after he inherits a kid from a dead relative.â
The entire center of the film covers the movie in a way that says, âYou didnât see me. I was never here.â Good and well knowing that people are going to be more curious about this film and expect it to be as fantastic as Burr says.
But donât worry, Burr accounts for this âundesiredâ outcome that he had been trying to avoid from the beginning with this closing paragraph.
âIf I do tell you all this, forget I ever did. Just remember you heard somewhere that âManchester by the Seaâ is an experience worth havingâŠâ
READ THE FULL REVIEW OF MANCHESTER BY THE SEA BY TY BURR (Under the title: A Shore Thing)
10. âMark Kermodeâ by Mamma Mia
Kermodeâs review of Mama Mia takes his self-awareness in a different direction where he personally loves the movie Mama Mia and is not afraid of letting the world know it.
In fact, the movie has brought something to life in him as a movie critic.
âOne minute I was a miserable critic; the next, everything had gone pink and fluffy.â
Kermode continues the movie review example, touching on the actorâs performances, the directorâs execution of the film, and the soundtrack before returning to how the film affected him as a critic.
âI feel duty-bound to report that I came out of the screening an utter wreck.â
Further aware that as a serious critic, he probably shouldnât like this film as much as he did, he lets his guard down and leans into the wonder of the film.
âI have certainly mellowed, and perhaps my critical faculties have withered and died. But I simply canât imagine how Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again could be any better than it is.â
The self-aware review speaks to the readers as a friend rather than as a removed source of movie information.
A lot of the time, this personal voice can be merged with other review styles as well.

Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt Work Movie Star Magic in The Fall Guy
By Richard Lawson
A spirit of good will animates the new action comedy The Fall Guy (in theaters May 3)âa tribute to the bruised, battered, and otherwise hard-working folks who do so much for movies but rarely get credit. Theyâre the stunt performers: limber and willing folks who throw themselves in front of cars or down hillsides, allow themselves to be set on fire or dropped from a great height, all to make a movie seem that much more real. The Fall Guy , written by Drew Pearce and directed by David Leitch , honors those craftspeople the best way Hollywood knows how: by giving their work some movie star glow.
It arrives in the form of Ryan Gosling , fresh off of Barbie and still leading with his light side. This is the better form of Gosling, mesmerizing as some of his grim, laconic performances have been. Here he plays Colt, a once sought-after stuntman who has quit the business after a bad workplace injury sapped his confidence and cost him his lady love, Jody ( Emily Blunt ). In the meantime, Jody has ascended from camera operator to director of a big-budget studio film shooting in Sydney, Australia. Through some trickery on the part of dogged producer Gail ( Hannah Waddingham ), Colt accepts a job doing all the difficult physical stuff that the filmâs preening star Tom ( Aaron Taylor-Johnson ) refuses to do.
The cute setup gets cuter when Tom goes missing, and Colt finds himself caught up in a relatively low-stakes criminal conspiracy. Heâs being shot at and doused in gasoline, so things could certainly get deadlyâbut no one is trying to save the world here. Instead, itâs the movie that needs saving, the jobs of hundreds of crew members who are trying to put on a good show. Though the same cannot be said of the studio suits in the industryâs current race toward streaming oblivion, the day-to-day folks working in film production still cherish the art form, a love to which The Fall Guy pays sweet homage.
It does so with a wryness familiar to anyone who has seen a Shane Black filmâindeed, Pearce has a writing credit on Blackâs Iron Man 3 . An antic, sideways wit enlivens the filmâs best scenes, either jags of bouncy dialogue or amusingly sequenced action set pieces. Leitch is prone to overembellishment, as is evident in the relentless and often incoherent wisecracking of Deadpool 2 and Bullet Train . But here, he reins in at least some of those impulses. At times he comes close to the delightful controlled-chaos of Blackâs The Nice Guys , which The Fall Guy perhaps most closely resembles, Gosling and all.
While the stunt work is impressiveâand the filmâs appreciation of it is, uh, appreciatedâ The Fall Guy is maybe even more successful as an ode to the increasingly elusive X-factor that is star power. The film gazes in wonder as Gosling smoothly does his thing, playing an affably jaded guy simply trying to get through his day and, maybe, rekindle a romance. Goslingâs performance is a reminder of how many just-okay action movies of yesteryear easily coasted on charisma. The Fall Guy is more than okay, but it would be a lot less without Goslingâs laidback warmth, his elastic sense of timing, his nimble physicality.
And it would be even less without Emily Blunt, one of the businessâs most appealing A-listers. She is, unfortunately, a little sidelined in The Fall Guy . But when sheâs given a chance to shine, she radiates. A karaoke scene sets up a trite joke: isnât it funny when someone earnestly sings a supposedly cheesy old ballad from the 1980s? But then Blunt nails it, keenly balancing the irony and the sincerity. (Sheâs singing Phil Collins âs âAgainst All Odds,â a beautiful song.)Â She deftly calibrates Jodyâs reaction to Coltâs sudden reentry: aloof but curious, sad and hurt but eager to forgive. Blunt is a joy to watch, both with Gosling and without him; letâs make her the true lead next time.
While Jody is belting out Phil Collins, Colt is having a fist fight in a dumpster thatâs being dragged through the streets of Sydney, Fast Five -style. Scoring an action scene with an improbable pop tune has become de rigueur to the point of passĂ© over the years, but Leitch finds a way to make this particular juxtaposition feel weird and almost fresh. The Fall Guy is often that: a slightly better version of what has long been clichĂ©. Which is what movie stars are there to do, on some projects anyway. And stunt people, too.

Best Apps for Finding Where Shows and Movies Are Streaming
Free apps and websites now search hundreds of channels and services to help you find favorite films and programs
Hereâs an issue thatâs become a bone of contention between my wife and me: We want to watch a TV show or film thatâs streaming but canât remember whether itâs on a subscription service , such as Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, or Netflix; a free service , such as Pluto TV or Tubi; or one of the network apps, such as Max, Paramount+, or Peacock. I donât mind searching around a bit, but my wife finds sifting through each service painfully tedious.
There are easier ways to find out whatâs streaming.
Streaming media players , including Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku, will look through various services to find specific titles. Many smart TVs now do the same. But the search functions arenât always easy to use, and they can be limited in what they find. And so, I often rely on free websites and mobile apps that do a much better job of hunting.
A few years ago, there were maybe a dozen apps or websites from which to choose, but the options have narrowed. Right now, I mainly use two: JustWatch and Reelgood , though I have tried out three more, TV Time , Watchworthy , and a newer app called Qewd . I havenât yet spent all that much time with Qewd, but it does have some interesting social features.
All five of these free tools search across multiple streaming services as well as some âTV Everywhereâ apps that let you stream content that youâre already paying for through a cable or satellite TV subscription.
Hereâs how they compare.
Website, and Android and iOS Apps
JustWatch has upped its game in recent years, greatly expanding by acquiring rival GoWatchIt. It has a large list of supported subscription services, including newer ones such as Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount+, and Peacock. It also works with several free ad-supported ones.
The service is easy to use: You enter the movie or show you want to watch and JustWatch will tell you where you can stream it. If itâs available to rent or buy, it will show you where to find the lowest price. JustWatch will also make movie and TV show recommendations based on what people with similar tastes are watching.
The siteâs home page shows you whatâs new and popular. You can add TV shows and movies to your watchlist by using a bookmark icon, and you can limit searches to services you already use by choosing them from a row of icons. A feature called TV Show Tracking lets you track shows youâve started watching or saved to your watchlist. If youâve watched all the episodes of a show, you can get an alert when a new episode or season becomes available.
Source: JustWatch Source: JustWatch
JustWatch organizes titles in dozens of ways, including by genre, whatâs highly rated or trending, and whatâs new to a service. It can even offer selections based on what mood youâre in. Now that many movie theaters are open again, JustWatch also shows you the top five movies currently playing, and provides alerts when they become available for streaming on one of your services.
JustWatch now has a Play on TV feature, which lets you choose and play content for your television right from the smartphone app. You need to have JustWatch apps on both your smartphone and the TV for that to work, and both need to be signed on to the same WiFi network. You choose the program or movie on the smartphone app, tap Play on TV, and the JustWatch TV app launches the selected streaming service. The TV app is available for Android and Google TV, Apple TV, Fire TV, LG and Samsung smart TVs, and Xbox consoles. It also works with Roku devices using the smartphone app by itself; you donât need the JustWatch app on the Roku.
You can access JustWatch using a web browser on your computer and through Android and iOS phone apps. One app exclusive is that it can give you daily deal updates on rentals and purchases.
While JustWatch is free, you can opt for a Pro version ($2.50 a month) that removes banner ads, gives you dozens more custom lists beyond the two free ones, and provides enhanced filtering options.
Website, and Android and iOS/tvOS Apps
Reelgood has greatly expanded the number of streaming services and TV channels it tracks, too, now covering over 150âand counting. Itâs the app I currently use the most.
When you first sign up, you check each of the services you have access to, and Reelgood searches across all of them. (It helped me realize that I now subscribe to a dozen streaming servicesâyikes!) You can add âfreeâ as a search item, and it will look for free content from networks, along with ad-supported platforms such as Crackle, and PlutoTV.
Reelgood covers all the major subscription services (Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Netflix); niche ones like Acorn TV and Mubi; free services such as Freevee, PlutoTV, and Tubi; and premium channels, such as Max and Showtime. It also includes Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount+, and Peacock. Reelgood will also check TV Everywhere channels you can stream if you subscribe to a traditional pay-TV package. Thereâs even a section where you can find out where to rent or buy newer movies from pay-per-view services such as Amazon, Apple iTunes, and Vudu.
You can browse by title or genre, or simply scroll through rows of recommended content organized under headings such as âPopular Movies," "Trending TV Shows,â âTop 10 This Week," and "2024 Most Anticipated." You also explore whatâs new, whatâs coming soon, and whatâs leaving soon, to help you prioritize what to watch next. Once you find something you want to view, you can add it to your watch list, rate it, see the trailer, or mark it seen. If itâs available, just press the play button and it will launch that service with your show pulled up.
Source: Reelgood Source: Reelgood
The service also lets you follow shows and movies. For TV shows, click âTrack Series" on the showâs product card to build a lineup of unwatched episodes. For movies, click the âWant to Seeâ button on a title to add it to a watchlist. Your âWatch Nextâ section will let you know when new episodes or movies are available.
Reelgood will now remember where you were on programs from more than 150 services, so you can pick up right where you left off.
Reelgoodâs Play to TV feature lets you play anything available on the Reelgood app directly on your smart TV just by clicking on the icon. Right now this feature is supported on Android, Fire TV, LG, and Roku smart TVs. When you select a program, it shows you a list of supported devices on your WiFi network, and you simply tap the one where youâd like to play it. You can use the app as a basic TV remote control.
You can access Reelgood online via its website, and it now has apps for both Apple iOS and Google Android smartphones as well as for Apple TV (tvOS), Android and Fire TVs, plus LG smart TVs. Thereâs no Roku app yet, but you can use the Reelgood mobile app on your phone to control a Roku TV or streaming player.
Website , and Android and iOS Apps
This service, self-described as a TV show and movie calendar with a strong social element, is newer to me; it lets you track shows and movies, discover which ones you should watch next, and get notifications when new ones that you want to watch become available. You can locate new movies or TV shows using the search bar, or find new content using a Discover icon at the bottom of the page. You canât, however, watch shows directly from the app.
Every user gets their own profile. When you visit for the first time, youâre asked to pick the shows and movies you either watch or plan to watch from a scrolling list. You can also note where you left off on a TV series, so youâll start an episode right after the one you viewed, or where you left off in the show if you didnât finish it.
Source: TV Time Source: TV Time
The app has two main sections: Watchlist, which has the shows and movies you track, and Upcoming, which posts on a calendar when the next episodes or seasons of shows youâre tracking will be available. In addition to tracking content and letting you know where to watch it, youâll get recommendations based on what youâve watched. Once you mark a show as watched, you can rate it or attach an emoticon, and indicate your favorite characters.
Using the Discover feature, you can get program recommendations based on the shows or genres youâve viewed, or see which movies and series are trending among other users of the service. A âDiscover Moreâ section lets you filter your search by genre, status, and more. You can also see which shows or movies have been watched by your friends, and what other fans of the show are saying without getting spoilers. You can earn various âbadgesâ for your profile by commenting and interacting with the TV Time community.
When you make a selection, youâll get sent to the streaming app, but thereâs no option to play the program directly on your TV as you can do with other services.
Watchworthy
Android and iOS Apps
Like the other apps, Watchworthy  allows you to find shows by choosing the services you subscribe to or use. What makes it stand out is that it does a nice job of providing personalized, crowdsourced recommendations from parent company Ranker. You can build a watchlist of shows from TV networks and more than 200 streaming services, including popular ones such as Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, Paramount+, Peacock, and Netflix. Right now the service doesnât track movies, but the company says that feature is on its radar.
At the start, you spend about a minute swiping left and right, liking and disliking shows. (You can swipe up if youâre not quite sure.) Then Watchworthy begins to send recommendations based on your responses. Each show on the list of recommendations features a âWorthyâ score that predicts how much youâll love it. (You can find these shows in a "Worthy" section of the app; the higher the Worthy score, the more likely youâll enjoy the show.) You add recommendations to your watchlist by clicking on a plus sign.
New features include âWorthy Services,â which can help you figure out which streaming services are worth keeping based on their content libraries, and âWatch Together,â which lets you become "friends" with other Watchworthy users to compile a shared watchlist based on everyoneâs personal tastes.
Source: Watchworthy Source: Watchworthy
Like the other services, Watchworthy lets you limit your results to shows from services you have access to. You can filter shows by air date, streaming service and genre, or even by MPAA rating if you have kids. There are also curated content selections based on themes such as The Weekly Buzz, Workplace Comedies, Funniest Shows, or British Sitcoms, organized by their Worthy score. Once you select a show, you can start watching it either directly from your device or by casting it to your TV.
While the company has been promising to add movie recommendations to the app, that hasnât happened yet. Right now, Watchworthy is available as either an Android or iOS app, but the company says it will add apps later this year for additional devices, including Amazon Fire, Apple TV, and Roku streaming players.
The newest entry to this group, Qewd is a free app for Android and Apple mobile devices. It not only helps you find where shows and movies are streaming but also adds a social element that lets you get recommendations from your network of friends, family, and even brands and influencers you follow.
When you download the app, you can enter the major streaming platforms you subscribe to and use most often, plus your favorite genres, and then sift through a list of free ad-supported services you use. In addition, users can create and share broad (âfavorite comediesâ) or specialized (âmovies starring Keanu Reevesâ) Qewd watchlists. Because Qewd connects to all streaming services it tracks, you can watch shows and movies with a single click.
In addition to helping you find out where shows and movies are streaming, Qewd acts as a âconciergeââthe companyâs wordâthat lets you bookmark content, and access and watch all of the services you subscribe to, as well as TikTok and YouTube, directly from the app. And when content jumps from one service to another, Qewd will automatically update its lists, the company says, taking you to the platform that currently has the title.

Like other apps, Qewd keeps track of what you watch and enjoy so that it can recommend movies and shows for you to try. But to get recommendations from family and friends for the âWhat Your Friends Are Watchingâ section, you have to share access to your contacts with Qewdâwhich not everyone is comfortable doing.
Other features include the ability to collect videos from anywhere on the internetâYouTube, Vimeo, Reddit, Twitter, etc.âand save them in your playlist for playback later. You can also curate personal watchlists and share them with friends, family members, colleagues, or those on social media sites.

The best movies to watch
The films below consist of notable new releases and blockbusters, HBO and Max originals and Warner Bros. films made exclusively for Max . All score around 65 or higher on Metacritic.
Wonka (2023)
Dune's Timothée Chalamet stars in this prequel to Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and it's a total treat. With new and familiar tunes, a committed cast and oodles and oodles of whimsy, the film allows audiences to get to know a young Willy Wonka with giraffe-sized ambition and undeniable chocolate-making skill. It's a quirky, comforting flick from Paddington director Paul King that you'll absolutely want on your plate.
Barbie (2023)
Unless you've been living in Barbie Land (or another place that isn't the real world), chances are you're very familiar with this pink-coated comedy already. The flick -- Warner Bros.' highest-grossing global release of all time -- brings a long list of stars together for a hilarious and heartfelt adventure. Greta Gerwig directs, Margot Robbie plays the titular role, and Ryan Gosling belts out an incredible power ballad as Ken.
Father of the Bride (2022)
Max's Father of the Bride introduces a Cuban American family that includes patriarch Billy, a traditional guy who struggles to digest surprising news from his eldest daughter: She's met a guy, and she wants to marry and move away with him. The third film adaptation of a 1949 novel of the same name by Edward Streeter, the movie is an enjoyable iteration that includes stars like Andy Garcia and singer Gloria Estefan.
8-Bit Christmas (2021)
A playful comedy set in the '80s, 8-Bit Christmas follows the story of a young Jake Doyle, a dedicated 10-year-old who desperately seeks a Nintendo. The film is delightfully narrated by Neil Patrick Harris, an older Jake reminiscing on his past quest to secure the gaming console. Yes, there's a Christmas backdrop to the story, but Jake's unyielding commitment to his mission, and what he learns along the way, make this cheery feature a must-watch even after the holiday season.
Let Them All Talk (2020)
Meryl Streep playing an eccentric author in a Steven Soderbergh comedy. What more do you need to know? If you do want to know more: Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Alice Hughes (Streep) is struggling to finish her next book, chased by her literary agent (Gemma Chan). She boards a cruise ship with old friends, who inspired her best-known work. Tensions are strong. It looks great -- Soderbergh uses crisp, natural light -- and most of the dialogue is improvised. See how Dianne Wiest, Candice Bergen, Lucas Hedges and the rest of the impeccable cast have fun with that.
Priscilla (2023)
Like A24 movies? Currently, new A24 releases wind up on Max, which means you'll eventually be able to take in buzzy flicks like The Iron Claw and the forthcoming title Civil War. For now, you may want to check out Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, about the relationship between her and Elvis Presley. Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi star in the stylish flick, which tells things from Priscilla's point of view.
The Color Purple (2023)
This movie musical version of The Color Purple is adapted from Alice Walker's 1982 novel and the Broadway play. Set in the early 1900s, it tells the story of Celie, a Black woman living in the South who faces multiple hardships but is able to find strength in the bonds in her life. The cast includes Fantasia Barrino, Taraji P. Henson, Colman Domingo, Halle Bailey and Danielle Brooks, who received a 2023 Oscar nomination for her role as Celie's daughter-in-law, Sofia.
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Avatar: The Way of Water reintroduced audiences to James Cameron's film franchise after 13 years and won an Oscar for best visual effects. The sequel centers on the Sully family -- Jake, Neytiri and their kids -- and is brimming with adventure and heart. It'll be at least a couple of years until Avatar 3 arrives, but you can pass the time by rewatching this on Max.
Kimi (2022)
Steven Soderbergh directs this engaging tech thriller set during the COVID-19 pandemic. Angela, a Seattle tech worker played by a neon blue-haired Zoë Kravitz, has agoraphobia, a fear that prevents her from making it past the front door of her apartment. But when she uncovers an unsettling recording while doing her job, she's pushed to make the leap. Kimi is a stylish thriller complete with eye-catching cinematography, a solid score and a protagonist you'll be rooting for.
The Fallout (2022)
After a shooting occurs at her high school, 16-year-old Vada Cavell must navigate friendships, school and her relationship with her family. The Fallout skillfully approaches serious subject matter with realistic dialogue and compassion for its characters. With strong performances from stars Jenna Ortega, as Vada, and Maddie Ziegler, as her new friend Mia Reed, the feature will keep you glued to the screen for the entirety of its 90-minute runtime.
Dune (2021)
Remember 2021, when Warner Bros. movies hit HBO Max on the same day they premiered in theaters? That exciting period may be over, but at least we'll always have the memory of watching Denis Villeneuve's stunning sci-fi epic Dune at home. If you've never seen the film or need to brush up on what "the spice" is before Part Two, stream Dune now.
King Richard (2021)
King Richard is a feel-good biopic about the father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams. The film winds back the clock to before the sisters became household names, giving us a glimpse of their upbringing in Compton and time spent practicing on run-down courts with their father, Richard Williams (Will Smith). Convinced his daughters are going to be successful, Richard works tirelessly to get their star potential noticed by professional coaches. A complicated man with a tremendous personality, Richard is fascinating to get to know, and his unwavering belief in Venus and Serena is inspiring.
In the Heights (2021)
In the Heights stars Anthony Ramos (whom you might recognize as John Laurens in Hamilton) playing Usnavi, a bodega owner struggling to keep his business afloat while a heatwave strikes Washington Heights. Secretly in love with his neighbor Vanessa (Melissa Barrera), who dreams of getting out of the salon and out of the neighborhood, Usnavi serves the people of Washington Heights with a whole lot of love, lottery tickets and cafe con leche. Between the choreographed twirls and fireworks, In the Heights is an examination of wealth disparity, immigration, classism and the importance of culture.
Son of Monarchs (2020)
A rare (nowadays) 90-minute film, American Mexican drama Son of Monarchs will stay with you long after the end credits roll. This deep character study follows two brothers who are changed in markedly different ways by the trauma they suffered in childhood. This story, folding in magical realism, follows how they move forward in life -- the butterfly metaphors are strong, with biologist Mendel returning to his hometown surrounded by majestic monarch butterfly forests.
Bad Education (2019)
Based on a magazine article by journalist Robert Kolker, this tale about a public school embezzlement scandal and the student journalists who broke the news is captivating from start to finish. Allison Janney and Hugh Jackman are great in their roles as the school officials who took part in the scheme. The drama also won the 2020 Emmy award for Outstanding Television Movie.
The Menu (2022)
A dinner at an exclusive restaurant turns from something to savor to something to survive in this shocking horror satire. Viewers learn about the privileged guests dining at Hawthorne as Ralph Fiennes' experienced chef unveils his fateful menu. Find your seat for this delectable experience, which also stars Anya Taylor-Joy.
No Sudden Move (2021)
A movie from Steven Soderbergh, the great director behind Erin Brockovich, Ocean's Eleven and, more recently, Logan Lucky? Twists, thrills and desperate characters populate this crime thriller set in 1950s Detroit. When a seemingly simple job gets out of hand, a group of criminals must work together to uncover what's really going on. Take in the incredible cast: Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, David Harbour, Jon Hamm and Amy Seimetz. While the plot can be a little convoluted and some won't be able to get past the fish-eye lens cinematography, Soderbergh's sense of humor and immersive direction make this crime caper an entertaining night in.
Documentary
All That Breathes (2022)
This captivating documentary is filled with images that will stick with you. It centers on two brothers in New Delhi who run a bird hospital dedicated to black kites -- birds of prey that are a staple of the sky. It was a contender for best documentary feature at the 2023 Oscars.
Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off (2022)
Tune into this HBO doc for the gravity-defying skateboard stunts, a time capsule of the '80s skateboarding scene, and a version of Hawk you've probably never seen. We get to know the renowned athlete as a lanky, stubborn but determined kid who adopted his own skateboarding style. Hawk's persistence is something to marvel at, along with all the stunning skateboard moves this film packs in. Hang on for a memorable ride.
Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain (2021)
This film about beloved author, chef and globe-traveling TV host Anthony Bourdain comes from documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville, who also directed 2018's Won't You Be My Neighbor? and the Oscar-winning film Twenty Feet from Stardom. In interviews with people who knew Bourdain, like his friends, former partners and longtime colleagues, the doc tracks his career path, relationships and personal struggles. Bourdain fans and those less acquainted with the star will likely appreciate this two-hour look at his life.
The Batman (2022)
Robert Pattinson steps out as Batman in this superhero flick directed by Matt Reeves. The movie takes place in a perpetually gray and rain-soaked Gotham City, where Bruce Wayne starts to seek out a murderer with an affinity for riddles. Along the way, he meets Catwoman, played by a swaggering Zoë Kravitz. Great scene-setting and storytelling make this a satisfying dark mystery.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Over-the-top violence abounds in this DC film about supervillains who agree to help the US government in exchange for some time off their prison sentences. Their mission is to destroy something alluded to as Project Starfish, harbored in the fictional island country of Corto Maltese. With a notable cast that includes Margot Robbie, Idris Elba and John Cena, 2021's The Suicide Squad is a wickedly entertaining, darkly funny bloodbath that differs from what you usually see in superhero movies. (Peacemaker, a spinoff TV series, is also available on Max.)

Are Bose ANC headphones as good as people say? Now is a great time to find out
If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs.
Bose headphones offer what is arguably the best sound quality and active noise cancelling tech that money can buy. Of course, it typically takes a whole lot more money to buy them than some people are willing to spend. Our readers are often left wondering whether or not Bose noise cancelling headphones are worth the sky-high price tags that Bose charges. The answer isn’t always straightforward, but I can say with certainty that right now is the best possible time to get a pair of Bose headphones and find out for yourself.
Bose headphones are indeed expensive, but the company’s newest models are currently on sale at the best prices of 2024. If you want the latest and greatest model, you’ll also find newer Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones on sale with a $50 discount . Or, if you’re looking for noise cancelling earbuds instead of over-ear headphones, you can also save $90 on Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II or save $50 on the hot new QuietComfort Ultra model with the best ANC tech you can get. And finally, the new Bose QuietComfort headphones that replace the company’s best-selling QC45 model is down to $249 instead of $349 .
Beginning with the Bose QuietComfort headphones, this is the model most people picture when they think of Bose headphones these days. They’re also among the best wireless noise cancelling headphones on the market, and I can say that because I’ve tested at least 50 different pairs of headphones in the past few years alone.

Then, on top of that, the sound quality is outstanding. Bose’s custom drivers and TriPort acoustic architecture pump out incredible audio that sounds the way artists intended it.
If you’re willing to spend a bit more and you want the very best of the best, Bose’s new and improved QuietComfort Ultra headphones are also on sale.
These are some of the most impressive ANC headphones I have ever tested. And that’s saying a lot because I’ve tested more than 200 different pairs of noise cancelling headphones in the 11 years I have been testing and reviewing products. The sound is crisp and clear, bass response is impeccable, and Bose’s noise cancellation blocks out nearly all of the ambient noise around you.
It goes without saying that wireless in-ear headphones can never deliver sound that’s as impressive as over-ear headphones. But Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II are still very impressive, and I think the sound quality outshines most rivals. They definitely sound so much better than AirPods Pro, which are the most popular earbuds out there among our readers.
Last but certainly not least, we have Bose’s new and improved ANC earbuds that were just released last year.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds normally sell for $299, but you can get a pair for $249 while they’re on sale. That’s the best price I’ve seen since the holidays last year.
Bose headphones offer phenomenal sound quality, and that’s especially true of the newest model, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones. And when it comes to the quality of Bose’s noise cancelling tech, it’s arguably the best in the business. Some people prefer Sony’s noise cancelling on the WH-1000XM5 headphones, and that’s a valid opinion. You really can’t go wrong with either model.

Viewers urged to watch 'underrated' Netflix crime thriller thatâs âbest film theyâve ever seenâ
People are obsessed with the '10/10' flick.
Rhiannon Ingle
Netflix has proven time and time again that it's the place to go whenever you're after your latest crime thriller fix.
From Richard Gadd's harrowing Baby Reindeer to the chilling '10/10' true crime series, The Asunta Case , it's clear we have a whole stockpile of viewing material in the genre.
And it's clear there's one more 'underrated' must-watch crime flick on the streaming platform which viewers are hailing as the 'best film theyâve ever seen'.
The film in question first hit our screens back in 2017 and boasts a star-studded cast including the likes of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Jon Bernthal and Lake Bell.
The plot follows the transformation of a well-to-do family man and once-successful businessman, Jacob Harlon (played by Coster-Waldau), who becomes a hardened prison gangster.
Jacob has to undergo the major transformation in order to survive California's penal system after he is incarcerated for his role in a deadly DUI car accident.
After being recently released from prison, Jacob finds himself forced by his leaders to 'orchestrate a brazen crime' with a rival gang or risk his family.
If you couldn't have guessed it already, the film is none other than Shot Caller .
Check out the official trailer here:
People have since rushed to social media to share their praise for the flick, with one Facebook user writing: "One of my favourite movies of all time."
"Amazing film, really underrated," penned a second, while a third quipped: "Great film."
Viewers have since also taken to X to share their thoughts on the movie, with one person saying: " Shot Caller on Netflix 10/10."
Another urged: " Shot Caller on Netflix is 10/10 pls watch."
A third gushed: "Recently discovered the movie Shot Caller on Netflix and WOW is it one of the best films Iâve ever seen and an eye-opening look at the prison system."
They continued: "Incredible acting and storyline, highly recommend it if you havenât seen it. On my top 10 all time list. Never saw in theatres."
"If anyone wants a good movie to watch on Netflix... Shot Caller is dope af," added another, while someone else piped up: " Shot Caller on Netflix UK now.
"If you havenât seen it, I highly recommend it!"
One viewer echoed: " Shot Caller on Netflix crazy asf!!!"
While a final user added: "Everyone watch Shot Caller on Netflix, thank me later."
Well, that's this evening's viewing material sorted.
Shot Caller is currently available to stream on Netflix.
