Control Room
A documentary to have watched earlier, but only because watching it now is less impactful.

Shaun the Sheep Movie
Predictably adorable but less predictably average.

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water
In this case, I think the parts are better than the whole (so the sum doesn't really work).

Don Jon
Not being a 20-year-old male, I appreciate diddly about this film.

Spy
Feig & McCarthy are clearly geniuses since they know precisely how to make fun of wine snobbery.

Jimmy's Hall
The thing about Loach films is that they're told so plainly there's nothing but fact and thus no compelling story.

Modern Family: Season 7
Episode 18? Why would you make a joke about the lack of women going to geek films? Do they not know their audience?
The Peanuts Movie
Those were the days: of telephone cords and school dances and kite-flying.

Steve Jobs
Disappointed in Sorkin's need to go Hollywood in the 3rd act, but otherwise, yes, this is why I get to love my Mac.

Pawn Sacrifice
Overwrought (by all accounts) but factually pretty darn accurate.

Don't trust the lawyers, don't trust the family, but do trust your instincts. Well, duh.

Dickensian: Season 1
Dickens' forte is clear here - the best parts are the ones with siblings.
