The Neon Demon (16, C-) Kudos to the crafts team, and I guess there's not much like it right now. But its ugly and I was glad when it ended.— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
Weiner (16, B) Valuable account of complicated media and personal entanglements of political life, probing and respecting subjects’ privacy.— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
Krisha (15, C) Showoff-y aesthetic, awkward nonprofessionals, shifty gallows humor only underline limits and evasiveness. Fairchild's good.— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
Arrival (16, A-) Barriers of cultural/human fear broken by links of circular enlightenment, bearing frissons of Scott, Resnais, and Wenders.— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (16, B-/C+) For better and worse, artifice and hyperrealism duke it out. Big Short-ish snark; waves of pain.— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
Doctor Strange (16, C+) Well shot. Solid stab at offbeat studio product. Lip service to mind-bending metaphysics can't loosen film's own id.— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
The Edge of Seventeen (16, B) Dark, hilarious, Roos-esque portrait of teenage disarray without losing focus, affection, or bite. Steinfeld!— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
Loving (16, B) I admired this film and its humble, laconic social justice, which only made me crave a deeper inquiry. Negga lifts it high.— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
Moonlight (16, A) The year's most memorable character(s), barely happy or together, finds solitude and connection, escape and entrapment.— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
Nocturnal Animals (16, D-) Makes Neon Demon look infinitely more subtle and bearable to watch by comparison. Vacuous, confronting, hateful.— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
Other People (16, B) A weepy-funny surprise! Earns insights, laughs, empathy through sharp, concise scene structure and winning ensemble.— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
Little Men (B+/B) Fewer peaks than Sachs' last, but equally sweet, nuanced, and moving about Brooklyn living. Two young leads are superb.— Gina's Bald Sister (@LucasCraigW) December 16, 2016
