Add on the weighted performances of its ensemble cast, particularly from Davis and Debicki, and you have a film that does a lot of things right (loose plot threads be damned). Review
While there is much lacking in the way of characterization and storytelling structure, the end of the film does make one feel invested in the implications for the next film. Review
Creed II is an honorable follow up to the first film, which was an honorable follow up to the Rocky legacy. Review
Screaming middling Coens. Of course, being in the middle of such a list is no punishment. Review
It is a breezy thriller whose hellish elements are best when embraced with the cheekiness by which they were made. Review
A spectacle piece that eschews depth of storytelling for visual depth. Pine and Pugh, although both performing at the top of their game, have little to work with within this structure. Review
The experiential nature of the flight sequences is raw and glorious, and the climax is worth the wait. Review
A great Halloween film. It feels like the heart of fall, when pumpkins glow and shadows make one take pause. At its best, the eerie mood pulls you in and makes you believe that it is October 31st... Review
Takes an ambitious concept and spreads it thin over a 140-minute runtime. Review
As much as this might clash with its ethereal beginnings, both provide intriguing filmmaking from an authentic creative voice. Review
The film hits a roadblock quickly. Instead of swerving around it, it rams straight into it. Review
It isn’t a platform from which a truly noteworthy movie can emerge. Review
Dickey’s performance permeates life across every frame. And Blaze doesn’t require much more than that to be enthralling. Review
No one is interesting. Nothing is novel. 90 minutes pass by unimpeded by fear or intrigue. Review
The film is like Spring Breakers meets The Purge but with more on its mind. Yet its ultimate message does not live up to its lofty satiric ambitions. Review
Armed with a well-known, inherently engaging story. But it doesn’t do much with it. Review
An entirely adequate horror-fantasy adventure for children. Review
It is sharply written and packed with tense emotions. When the film is not directly informed by Close’s performance, however, it quickly loses its way. Review
Not a good film, per se. In some instances, it is barely coherent. But it is an experience, one that kept me rapt until the very end. Review
More of a comedy than the sci-fi-horror-action hybrid that the franchise is known for. And most of this comedy is groan-worthy, at best. Review
Comes off as a derivative true crime film that has been filled to the brim with acting talent to hide the fact that the characters have no character to them. Review
An intriguing comic design that yields some smirks, but in total it is a comedy of absurdist pretension with much more bark than bite. Review
It all reeks of a certain stock and trade, one in which the audience expects little enough that anything above mediocre will suffice. Review
