indieWire

While the craft on display in “The Grab” shouldn’t be ignored... the subsequent film is ultimately a bundle of figures splayed across a sluggish run time.

Rated: C

Drink in the Movies

While the film doesn’t quite square the round hole, it touches on a myriad of worthwhile topics, if only it spent more time going over specific data.

Rated: 45/100

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Instead of spending 105 minutes watching this, you'd be better served reading a single book about US imperialism.
