It is a stylish, deliberately paced, but efficient cerebral spy drama with a mystery that manages to always be at least one step ahead of you. Review

Tran’s performance was the main highlight for me, and her performance paired with occasional body horror highlights elevates this film a fair bit... Review

I found Mickey 17 to be a messy but fascinatingly timely and richly rewarding political satire and sci-fi flick that is, ultimately, strangely filling despite some hiccups along the way. Review

Here Perkins definitely shows that he is capable of dialling zany, dark humor up to 11 and blending it with the horror genre, and it’ll be interesting to see if he returns to this subgenre in the future, because he shows glimpses here that indicate he has what it takes to make something special with these ingredients.

This is an occasionally powerful historical drama that works as something of a meditation on the memories that make up identity and the experiences and injustices that must not be forgotten. Review

The Order is a jaw-droppingly riveting ‘FBI vs. white supremacy’ flick filled with heists, compelling performances, and great cinematography, which emphasizes the gorgeous and unique landscape of the country perhaps to stress the contrast between the natural beauty of the environment and the festering hateful ideologies that threaten to cover it all in darkness.

As a total package, Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière’s adaptation of the iconic narrative always held my attention and is probably the best non-English language attempt at epic adventure storytelling that I’ve seen done in quite some time. Review

It was a fascinating feature with moments of greatness that, however, didn’t fully nail the landing for me, despite being so sharp and effective in its first hour. Review

Although it has plenty of solid qualities about i, it can’t fully escape the messiness of it all and the fact that it doesn’t really have anything to say, and, given the stances taken by the star-spangled man with a plan in the previous MCU films, you should be able to expect more from a Captain America movie at a moment in time when the world is in disrepair.

The Gorge is a thoroughly entertaining genre-blend with solid stars, a believable connection and chemistry, and pure nightmare fuel (and plenty of it). Review

Chiwetel Ejiofor is one of the primary reasons why, but it also helps that Zellweger is all-in, while Hugh Grant is back in his part and, in being so, turns in a genuinely memorable and fun performance... Review

Kneecap is a wildly energetic music biopic with surprisingly competent performances, important themes, and a central message. It is a strong narrative feature debut from its writer-director. Review

Jon M. Chu’s Wicked is a really strong musical film adaptation with important themes, outstanding production and costume designs, and central acting performances that manage to make the entire project feel special, despite it being needlessly overlong and cut in two. Review

Companion is much more of a lightweight film than those modern masterpieces, but it is nonetheless a really fun time at the movies with clever sci-fi setup breadcrumbs, silly comedic bits, and solid acting from the lead cast that is about both gender politics and getting back at controlling significant others.

What You’re Cordially Invited definitely is, however, is a decent-enough streaming release to watch from the comfort of your own home with entertaining stars giving themselves over to a chuckle-worthy premise. Review

It is hard to watch both due to the dark material and what may be small pacing issues, but it remains a haunting film about harsh living and working conditions, especially for women, but also about the human monsters lurking in the dark preying on people in need. Review

It is a wonderful, smartly written, and sensitive but also funny two-hander that gets the most out of its central stars’ unique gifts, including the acting talents of its triple-threat filmmaker, whose star is now also on the rise behind-the-camera. Review

Wolf Man is, at best, merely ‘okay,’ and, at worst, inadequate. But there are, again, things here that work, including the setup and pay-off of the daddy-daughter ‘mindreader’ bit. Review

In addition to being built around a riveting screenplay, it features a dramatic original score from Volker Bertelmann, as well as striking visuals that emphasize the production design and the rich reds of the costuming. Review
