The Standoff at Sparrow Creek
A review by Hunter Lanier for Film Threat2019-01-17
There is no emotional manipulation, and there are no ideological hand-outs. You almost feel like you’re watching the events unfold through a keyhole, which gives every hushed exchange and passive-aggressive examination a voyeuristic thrill.Read entire review on Film Threat -
An Acceptable Loss
A review for Film Threat2019-01-17
What could have explored the real complexities behind a serious issue instead became a self-congratulatory pat on the back for holding a specific viewpoint, and a boring one at that.Read entire review on Film Threat -
The Little Stranger
A review by Filipe Freitas for Film Threat2019-01-11
More inanimate than haunting, The Little Stranger is Abrahamson’s least interesting feature.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Glass

Pledge
A review for Film Threat2019-01-07
The surprise is the remarkable script from screenwriter (Zack Weiner) and the sharp-eyed direction from Daniel Robbins who work to take an idea we have seen a million times before and turn out something new and fiercely entertaining.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Destroyer
A review by Tiffany Tchobanian for Film Threat2019-01-04
Destroyer is a good film, but it is Kidman’s nuanced performance that takes it to the next level.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Rust Creek
A review by Alan Ng for Film Threat2019-01-03
As Sawyer, Hermione Corfield is probably the most famous of the film’s cast. She is the film’s solid foundation and carries it to the finale. She’s believable, strong, and sympathetic.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Bohemian Rhapsody
A review by Bradley Gibson for Film Threat2019-01-03
As with all dramatized stories of real lives, artistic license hammers messy reality into a watchable film. Dramas are not documentaries. The essential emotions of Freddie’s life and the history of the band are here. There’s nothing unexpected in the structure of the movie. It’s a visit with some old mates you’ve not seen in a long time.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
A review by Alan Ng for Film Threat2019-01-01
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is probably the best-animated superhero tale to do justice to the pulp comic book fan both in style and content. It upholds the spirit of Marvel Comics by juxtaposing the humanity of each hero and villain against the prerequisite kick-ass action sequences. At let’s face facts, the art direction is the true star of the film.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Cold War
A review by Filipe Freitas for Film Threat2019-01-01
Wrapped in deepest melancholy, Cold War has no idle or frivolous scenes since everything fits and flows under Pawlikowski’s masterful direction.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Vice
A review by Hunter Lanier for Film Threat2018-12-25
Vice, written and directed by Adam McKay, plays straight to the cable-news generation of political enthusiasts. It’s depthless, has the attention span of a gopher, and is more concerned with appearances than getting to the root of anything.Read entire review on Film Threat -
The Kindergarten Teacher
A review by Filipe Freitas for Film Threat2018-12-25
The only reason to watch The Kindergarten Teacher is Ms. Gyllenhaal’s performance, whose quality makes us resist until it’s possible.Read entire review on Film Threat -
The American Meme
A review by Chris Gore for Film Threat2018-12-24
The American Meme works best when it reveals the subtle pain behind much of the manufactured fantasy.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Mary Poppins Returns
A review by Alan Ng for Film Threat2018-12-21
If they had gotten the music right, it could have stood by the original classic.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Aquaman
A review by Chris Gore for Film Threat2018-12-20
Aquaman is worth seeing if only for its original visuals and the grand vision from director James Wan. As a whole, it is a bit of a mess and ends up being an exhausting experience that would’ve benefited from some judicious editing.Read entire review on Film Threat -
If Beale Street Could Talk
A review by Tiffany Tchobanian for Film Threat2018-12-09
If Beale Street Could Talk is an immersive experience. Viewers will get wrapped up in Baldwin’s timely tale of love, perseverance, and prejudice.Read entire review on Film Threat -

A review by Tiffany Tchobanian for Film Threat2018-12-07
You will laugh, cry, and be left breathless by Hedges’ heart-pounding adventure and intimate portrait of family love. This film will hurt and capture your heart in the best way. It is without a doubt an unmissable cinematic achievement.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Bitter Melon
A review for Film Threat2018-12-06
There are scenes of utter brilliance and honesty, then clunky scenes of melodrama the next.Read entire review on Film Threat -
Tyrel
A review by Natalia Winkelman for Film Threat2018-12-04
A finely gradated study of race and masculinity in the age of Trump, Tyrel is also an engrossing portrait of the revealing power of language.Read entire review on Film Threat -
People's Republic of Desire
A review by Alan Ng for Film Threat2018-11-29
The People’s Republic of Desire is a psychological treatise on self-worth, and the lab rats are the citizens of China.Read entire review on Film Threat
