Rogue Agent 2022
"In the saturated market of true crime content, a simple “woman in peril” tale isn’t enough to hold our interest anymore. Perhaps the prurient unravelings of Freegard’s greatest hits is best left to the nonfiction projects, but even with the liberties of narrative adaptation, Lawn and Patterson leave the psychological and emotional depths of this story unexplored. In her performance, Arterton extracts some truths as a woman scorned and searching for redemption, but the rest of “Rogue Agent” leaves one wanting, and searching, for more answers."

Emily the Criminal 2022
"In wrapping capitalist critique in a crime drama about an individual consistently locked out of traditional modes of advancement, “Emily the Criminal” isn’t so much Plaza’s “Heat” as it is her “Scarface.” Floating somewhere in the liminal space between humanity and sociopathy, Tony Montana and Emily seem to live by the same morally suspect, ruthlessly survivalist code."
