Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Oct 2, 2026 I’m forever grateful to the brilliance of Tarell Alvin McCraney and Barry Jenkins for this film. It is an absolutely perfect deconstruction of toxic masculinity and the patriarchy that keeps men and boys from accessing the depths of love and connection.

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Oct 2, 2026 Hathaway’s never been so deliciously evil. It’s unfortunately wasted on a predictable drivel of a script. It’s supposed to be campy, not a comedy. It’s a ridiculous disaster of a film. And Johnson’s dead-face acting is trolling all the way to the bank. Go to Full Review Verity (2026) 31% - -

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Oct 2, 2026 Alejandro G. Iñárritu is a genius and Digger is his opus. Digger is a profound wrestling match wherein Iñárritu wonders aloud whether art in the face of catastrophe is worth it. My answer is a resounding yes. Go to Full Review Digger (2026) 53% - -

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Sep 26, 2026 Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother is about Your Dad and how hard he has it.

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Sep 23, 2026 The Julia Set means well; writer-director Niki Byrne wants to explore the rare topic of female genius. And Alex Dillard is a scene-stealer in the role of Julia’s brother. But at times the drama feels both underwritten and cartoonishly overdone. Go to Full Review The Julia Set (2026) 70% - -

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Sep 23, 2026 Because [Erivo's Tessa] never wrestles with her earlier "belief" in the law and her actual complicity in the legal system that failed her, her big speech condemning the legal system [and the overall film] falls flat.

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Sep 22, 2026 The Black man’s failures, isolation and lack of community as opposed to the white woman’s abundance of community and hopeful future awaiting her in the end feel like a violent lack of imagination.

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Sep 22, 2026 My favorite film from TIFF, by a mile. Scott gives his best performance to date. It’s a reminder that there is a power and a purpose in the crafting of art that our tech overlords and AI slop makers couldn’t even fathom. Go to Full Review Elsinore (2026) 88% - -

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Jul 27, 2026 Despite the thrilling changes from the original text, the mind-blowing visuals, the dedication to craft, and the gifted performances, The Odyssey feels as massive and as hollow as its Trojan Horse. Go to Full Review The Odyssey (2026) 94% - -

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Jun 7, 2026 Obsession takes "homage" to Jordan Peele’s horror masterpiece to the extreme, yet this poor man’s rip off fails to achieve the pinnacle of social commentary that Get Out achieved. Go to Full Review Obsession (2025) 93% - -

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching May 24, 2026 Laugh-out-loud film will literally go off the rails. Think B.A.P.S. plus Blade Runner and the collage art of Mickalene Thomas. And claymation! Hang on and enjoy the riotous, liberating ride. Go to Full Review I Love Boosters (2026) 92% - -

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching May 19, 2026 A compelling world and characters, [but] Is God Is could’ve been iconic. Instead, it offers final judgment, giving fire and brimstone to the Angry Black Girl who is simply too angry. Go to Full Review Is God Is (2026) 97% - -

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Apr 27, 2026 With such a stellar cast and a real interest in wrestling with who he was, Michael could’ve been a great movie. Instead, it's as sloppy and soulless as that CGI monkey. Go to Full Review Michael (2025) 38% - -

Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Apr 5, 2026 A navel-gazing thought experiment of a movie that laughs at our pain.
