The Best of Enemies (2019, Robin Bissell)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 15, 2019
Chris Rock has a joke about waiting to see if the evening news—it’s an old joke—report on a crime is going to have a Black perpetrator or a White one, just so he (Rock, a Black man) can figure out if his white coworkers are going to ask him if he knew the perp (if he’s Black). In other words, read more
Greta (2018, Neil Jordan)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 12, 2019
Greta is exceedingly competent. It’s way too unimaginative, predictable, traditional, and restrained in the final third, but it’s always exceedingly competent at those things. Even after it’s clear top-billed Isabelle Huppert isn’t going to create a singular cinema villain and even after it’s read more

Charlotte and Her Lover (1960, Jean-Luc Godard)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 10, 2019
Somewhere around minute seven–of an unlucky thirteen–Charlotte and Her Lover's ending started to seem inevitable; predictability makes the last six minutes even more tiresome. Writer, director, and de facto lead Godard (he looped in the ranting monologue for onscreen lead Jean-Paul read more

Tamaki and Valero-O’Connell’s Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me
The Stop Button Posted by on Jul 7, 2019
Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me is another of these YA graphic novels without any chapters or natural narrative breaks. The first time I came across one, I realized it was going to be a trend and yep, it’s a trend. The difference is last time it didn’t work, this time it works out perfectly. read more
Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019, Jon Watts)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 6, 2019
Spider-Man: Far From Home spends so much of its runtime being a constant delight, the first sign of trouble passes. Something where director Watts needs to connect doesn’t connect, only it doesn’t really matter because it doesn’t seem like it needs to connect too hard. Then the third act is this read more

Hello Down There (1969, Jack Arnold)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 5, 2019
Hello Down There is a family comedy. Its target audience is families who want to see a sexy mom Janet Leigh and sexless teenagers. I think it’s for dads who somehow got stuck taking their tweens to the movies in the late sixties? When the movie starts, it almost seems like Leigh’s going to play read more

Wonder Boys (2000, Curtis Hanson)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Jul 3, 2019
Wonder Boys has a very messy third act. The film takes place over a weekend, Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon; it’s the annual writers conference at an unnamed Pittsburgh university, which kicks off some of the film’s events, lines up some other ones, but is really just an excuse for exposition read more
