Watchmen(2019)grip me, stretch my mind, up my adrenaline · From Sonia Saraiya at Vanity Fair: Watchmen is so brilliantly written, visually stunning, and structurally fine-tuned that it’s practically peerless. The combination of very good and very important makes it nearly impossible to adapt. |
What We Do in the Shadows(2019)de-stress me, find me fun, make me laugh · From Brian Tallerico at Roger Ebert: It fits perfectly into FX’s off-kilter sense of humor, and actually gets a little funnier with each episode. |
When They See Us(2019)enlighten me, grip me, tug my heartstrings · From Odie Henderson at RogerEbert.com: Each episode has its own most-valuable players either in front of or behind the camera, but the entire series is elevated by the two sets of actors who embody the Central Park Five. … Taken as a whole, there’s a lot to recommend When They See Us. It does as much as it can to recast the gaze on Black and brown people, eliciting empathy and the desire for justice. It demonizes the right people and demands your fury over the events presented. |
Who Killed Garrett Phillips?(2019)shock me, stretch my mind, up my adrenaline · From Brian Tallerico at RogerEbert.com: At its best, it reminded me of the landmark HBO docuseries Paradise Lost or the remarkable The Staircase in its level of detail and how it captures how people make the kind of drastic mistakes that allow the answers to get further and further out of reach. |
