Malcolm and Marie (2021)
The lead performances are powerful, but the script renders this movie forgettable.
Rebecca (2020)
Rebecca lacks conviction or passion. Gorgeous scenery can't save the shallow script, and the actors are stilted in boring roles.
Aladdin (2019)
The critics didn’t love it, but I was captivated by the film and enjoyed it from start to finish.
Little Women (2019)
Little Women is a disappointment. While the cast is magnificent, the story structure and writing leave the movie boring and confused.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)
This is what happens when you essentially don’t have three-dimensional characters or a story to tell; let’s face it, Mamma Mia did not need a prequel, sequel - whatever the heck this is. It just didn’t.
The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society (2018)
While sensitively written and beautifully filmed, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society suffers from a muddled plot and a lack of cast chemistry.
Baby Driver (2017)
I'm going to be addressing a problematic aspect of the movie: the way the female characters are written.
The Beguiled (2017)
The Beguiled isn't as bewitching as it claims to be. Despite its relational intensity, the story is squandered as a result of forced performances and an extremely weak script.
My Cousin Rachel (2017)
My Cousin Rachel is beautifully filmed and led by a mesmerising Weisz, but otherwise it's insufferably boring and poorly plotted.
Lady Bird (2016)
Lady Bird is an extraordinary directorial debut from Gerwig. It's a love story in more ways than one - messy, complicated, heartbreaking, confusing, and often funny. A wonderful movie.
Passengers (2016)
There’s nothing remotely romantic about this movie. Guy wakes up early. Guy feels lonely. Guy sees girl. Guy wakes girl. Guy dooms girl to death.
The Light Between Oceans (2016)
Honestly, who cares if it’s a little melodramatic? The Light Between Oceans is so brilliantly acted and filmed, it’s an earnest and compassionate look at love, the choices we make, and the people for whom we sacrifice.
La La Land (2016)
Breathlessly real and beautiful, with Gosling and Stone intensely genuine in their dynamic roles. This film is compelling and inspiring, and its thought-provoking, hopeful, and relatable story is powerful.
Safe Haven (2013)
This movie is a better movie because it isn't just your typical romance flick. It’s not only beautiful, it’s exciting and heartbreaking, too.
