We strongly condemn the actions taken by Nexstar and Disney-ABC to pull JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! off the air.

We join our colleagues in @LAFilmCritics and @TheNSFC in condemning the actions taken by Nexstar and Disney-ABC to pull "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air.

A bit disjointed but still a wildly fun thrill ride to break its director out of his comfort zone, Aronofsky’s #CaughtStealingMovie aims to leave a genre-laden paper trail worthy of its setting. Butler is gold, so’s the cat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 | @seattlecritics warm1069.com/review-caught-…

#TheRoses honestly stands as the rare case where, when done confidently, and with a cast that takes control, a reimagining makes sense and allows to have fun with itself. Cumberbatch and Colman make a world of difference. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 | @seattlecritics warm1069.com/review-the-ros…

VICE IS BROKE: Am glad that Eddie Huang’s documentary is getting a release while still remaining quite mixed on the overall portrait being painted. While undeniably personal in a way that's engaging, one soft-pedaled interview drags it all down My review: thewrap.com/vice-is-broke-…

SPLITSVILLE: Kyle Marvin, Michael Angelo Covino, Adria Arjona, & Dakota Johnson have made a killer rom-com. If more comedies had one iota of this film’s charm, cleverness, & confidence, cinema itself would be better for it. See it today at SIFF My review: theplaylist.net/splitsville-re…

THE ROSES is a divorce comedy without thorns -- Josh reviews the softer spin on an 80s classic starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman as spouses who can't stand each other. thesunbreak.com/2025/08/28/the…

THE ROSES: Where Danny DeVito's THE WAR OF THE ROSES was shot like a horror film to capture a crumbling marriage for the ages, Jay Roach's retelling is a visually and emotionally flat rehash. Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch both innocent My review: inlander.com/screen/the-ros…

Caught Stealing is my new favorite Man and a Cat film--it doesn't hurt that the cat is a bitey tabby like mine--and the most purely enjoyable film Darren Aronofsky has ever made (even as terrible things happen). Opens Fri, Aug 29. @seattlecritics More: tinyurl.com/ntbasekb

Kyle Marvin won't marry you at the SIFF screening of his new film SPLITSVILLE a la Lucy Dacus. He will, however, offer you a unique alternative: the opportunity to use him as a stand-in to practice a breakup. Chatted with Marvin about this and much more👇 seattletimes.com/entertainment/…

BREAKING: Kristen Stewart’s astounding directorial debut THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER has just been acquired for theatrical release this December where it will be getting a big awards push. If you missed it from its Cannes premiere, best give my rave review below a read to get ready.

We're Not Safe Here is now available in select theaters, on digital and on demand. Full review on TheTwoOhSix website: twoohsix.com/2025/08/were-n… #werenotsafehere #moviereview #horrormovies #TheTwoOhSix #SeattleCritics @seattlecritics

Standing up again as the rare person who was somewhat taken with DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS and was increasingly disappointed with HONEY DON'T. Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke have plenty of promising ideas at play, but the way they assemble them is just never quite as interesting in execution

My defense of Ron Howard's darkly silly historical thriller EDEN that argues for why Sydney Sweeney runs away with it despite giving one of the quieter performances thewrap.com/eden-review-sy…

‘Eden’ Review: Sydney Sweeney Steals the Show in Ron Howard’s Darkly Silly Historical Thriller thewrap.com/eden-review-sy…

EDEN: Sydney Sweeney steals the show in Ron Howard’s darkly silly historical thriller that, while flawed, is still a major step up from whatever the hell HILLBILLY ELEGY was (yes, this may be damning his latest with faint praise, but so be it). My review: thewrap.com/eden-review-sy…

RELAY: An excellent Riz Ahmed gets his own MICHAEL CLAYTON in David Mackenzie’s both perceptive and preposterous thriller (complimentary). Was hooting and hollering at every costume change Ahmed’s fixer makes. See it Friday at The Grand Cinema. My review: inlander.com/screen/relay-i…
