Loving (2016) 88% EDIT “Loving is a restrained film that lacks the atypical, explosive moments of overflowing emotion, but nonetheless is just as moving and engaging in its unusual approach.” – Film Inquiry Jan 4, 2017 Full Review Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016) 37% EDIT “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is what one gets when the people who make make movies for a living care nothing about the material.” – Film Inquiry Dec 12, 2016 Full Review Pete's Dragon (2016) 88% EDIT “Pete's Dragon is yet another of the recent Disney live-action remakes that elevates the source material and expands the world it was born from for the better.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) 97% EDIT “As bold as it is in its artistic and embellished techniques, Kubo & The Two Strings manages to be equally thought-provoking and surreal in the most visual of ways.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review Swiss Army Man (2016) 73% EDIT “Swiss Army Man is a quirky and deliriously fun tale that has wit and beating heart.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review The Neon Demon (2016) 59% EDIT “The Neon Demon is a niche, avante garde film to be sure, but it's one that any moviegoer and cinephile should give a chance to.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) 47% EDIT “The lesson to take from X-Men: Apocalypse is for our artists and filmmakers is to throw off the shackles of convention, and be freed from the burden of conformity.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review The Nice Guys (2016) 91% EDIT “With a story of smart dips and dives in bell-bottoms over shag carpet and groovy lava lamps, The Nice Guys is sure to go down in history as sophisticated escapism.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review The Jungle Book (2016) 94% EDIT “The Jungle Book encompasses vivid illustrations of archetypal stories, and manages to be accessible and pleasurable for children of all ages.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review The Measure of a Man (2015) 92% EDIT “There are far better films, including French ones, that tackle the same thematic ideas as The Measure of a Man and actually do something with them.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review Hardcore Henry (2015) 51% EDIT “In the fleeting beats where the action connects and the camera doesn't shake so bad and the characters have things to do, then Hardcore Henry is pretty badass.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) 91% EDIT “10 Cloverfield Lane is a movie-lover's wet dream. It boldly tackles still to this day taboo issues of alcoholism while also being a straightforward thriller.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review The Revenant (2015) 78% EDIT “The Revenant is a wide and large film about intimate life experiences, and the result is one that is thrilling and contemplative.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review The Hateful Eight (2015) 74% EDIT “Quentin Tarantino has offered up his hellish mind to the world, and TH8 is one of his most thrilling, cynical, subversive and narratively transgressive exercises to date.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review Beasts of No Nation (2015) 91% EDIT “Beasts of No Nation wants desperately to be progressive and challenge the cinematic landscape, but it suffers from Cary Fukunaga's stylistic and creative implosion.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review Sicario (2015) 91% EDIT “Sicario is a one-of-a-kind experience. It's an action-drama that relishes its necessary job, but does so in unbelievable style.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet (2013) 78% EDIT “The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet should be counted amongst the best of children's films.” – Film Inquiry Dec 7, 2016 Full Review Moana (2016) 95% EDIT “Though Moana delivers plucky entertainment and some colorful characters, it plays the narrative too safely by relying on commonplace machinations.” – Film Inquiry Dec 5, 2016 Full Review Arrival (2016) 94% EDIT “Though well made and haunted by a score of primordial dissonance, Arrival is an orbiting piece that misses out on invading the deepest parts of the mind.” – Film Inquiry Dec 5, 2016 Full Review
