Rory Scovel Tries Stand-up for the First Time (2017) 89% EDIT “This special stands as one of the funniest of this year.” – Los Angeles Times Aug 8, 2019 Full Review Nate Bargatze: The Tennessee Kid (2019) EDIT “It's a strange alchemy that makes a person funny. At the intersection of calm confidence and a delivery so deadpan there seems no awareness anything being said is funny lies comic Nate Bargatze, whose latest Netflix special is a killer.” – Los Angeles Times Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Deadwood: The Movie (2019) 98% EDIT “"Deadwood" seamlessly falls into step with its celebrated past.” – Los Angeles Times May 31, 2019 Full Review Iliza: Elder Millennial (2018) 60% EDIT “Shlesinger uses a lethal, finely honed mix of energetic physical comedy and elastic voices to also examine the oddball relics of early '00s nostalgia and spins some hard-won relationship wisdom as a woman on the cusp of marriage.” – Los Angeles Times Dec 27, 2018 Full Review Flight of the Conchords: Live in London (2018) 100% EDIT “It was a playful instance where 2018 briefly caught up with the Conchords, whose special mostly offers a welcome, proudly silly respite from current affairs.” – Los Angeles Times Dec 21, 2018 Full Review W. Kamau Bell: Private School Negro (2018) 82% EDIT “Bell flexes the same genial, conversational style seen during his far-flung interview segments for "United Shades" and stretches out on topics from the current political climate to his perspective on race and gender relationships.” – Los Angeles Times Dec 19, 2018 Full Review The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) 77% EDIT “The characters are too underdeveloped to leave an impression.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 26, 2017 Full Review Patton Oswalt: Annihilation (2017) 100% EDIT “There aren't many stand-up comics with the courage to take audiences into the depths of some dark emotions and and still bring them back laughing.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 26, 2017 Full Review A Ghost Story (2017) 91% EDIT “The film stubbornly refuses to connect with its deeper themes because of a vague, self-consciously arty structure and a pace so deliberate it approaches a stand-still.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 21, 2017 Full Review Too Funny To Fail (2017) 100% EDIT “Not unlike the series, the documentary's secret weapons are [Stephen] Colbert and [Steve] Carell, who are interviewed separately but maintain a connection that eventually broke them for a wide audience on The Daily Show.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Spielberg (2017) 91% EDIT “... it's a testimony to Spielberg's career that a two-and-a-half-hour documentary on his life and work could both feel too long in some places and yet oddly inadequate in others.” – Los Angeles Times Oct 9, 2017 Full Review Captain Fantastic (2016) 82% EDIT “[It] shines as a sort of wish-fulfillment fantasy for a certain outdoors-oriented mind set, which almost makes up for its over-the-top moments and underwritten characters.” – Los Angeles Times Nov 21, 2016 Full Review
