This comedy has a few violent scenes.

positive

If Mt. Rushmore were to make a movie, it would probably look a lot like a Clint Eastwood movie.

positive

The master of the pitch-black comedy, writer/director Martin McDonagh balances his newest, The Banshees of Inisherin, on a knife edge between hilarity and despair. And the thing about humour on a knife edge is that it’s sharp, but it stings.

positive

"Shaun the Sheep Movie" is a totally engaging, delightfully clever bit of filmmaking. The stop-motion clay animation is seamless and flawless.

positive

Some bad movies are so bad they are funny or fascinating or both. This one makes counting grains of sand seem more lively.

negative

Your either going to love this or hate it, there simply is no compromised middle ground with this completely unhinged, ethereal take on corporate manipulation and slavery, class prejudices and racial perceptions.

positive

Arguably Ozu's most effervescent film, Good Morning is a pleasantly amusing slice of life from the master.

positive

Younger children should be satisfied.

positive

Hale County illustrates the sad truth of just how much of America, especially but not only the rural South, is still almost entirely segregated.

positive

Jolie is far too good for this tripe but she does give the film its only believable moments, and for the first half, her concentration makes you watch her intently.

negative

With this film, Mr. Baumbach has achieved a near-perfect balance between engagement and discomfort.

positive

Bumptiously entertaining.

positive

Of all the plot twists that Julieta ventures and mostly pulls off, the best one is holding out the possibility -- the honest, though far from assured possibility -- of a happy ending.

positive

Blessed is uneven and overall not as good as Kokkinos's other films but it nevertheless contains some of her best work to date.

positive

"Major League" on the gridiron, if that's what you need

negative

It takes a special actor's grace to survive a script as lame as My Fellow Americans, and James Garner has it. Without appearing to break a sweat, Garner makes each grotesquely desperate attempt at humor look smooth and assured.

negative

A stand up comedy routine delivered while driving an Uber car is still a stand up routine.

positive

Pride comes before the fall. In this instance, that happens in an extreme way.

positive

The Men Who Stare At Goats is trying to be a smart, black, satirical comedy... Yet on the other hand, it's still trying to be a mainstream Hollywood movie. And whenever the two impulses come into conflict, Hollywood wins.

negative

Irresistible keys its focus towards vital subject matter, but lacks the sharp precision needed to properly satirize the ambivalence of our political infrastructure.

negative

Stark, raw and brutal, this isn't Hollywood's romantic version of the Mafia.

positive

A well-executed, faithful version of the C. S. Lewis classic.

positive

Let's go ahead and call Marielle Heller the most skillful director working in Hollywood at the moment, because I can't think of anyone else who could keep "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" from collapsing into a bath of heartwarming schmoo.

positive

Every American should watch this once a year.

positive

Possesses a sunny optimism that filmgoers don't regularly see.

positive

Holmes is an extremely amusing and engaging picture, taking care of all the expected detective work as it offers a few surprises of its own.

positive

What makes this festive fantasy engaging is the savvy way in which it debunks cold efficiency in favour of more wholesome values. It's just a pity Arthur himself is so bland.

positive

[The Disaster Artist] will surprise you at exactly the moment you think you've got it figured out.

positive

A political thriller afraid of politics and bereft of thrills.

negative

The Divine Plan, both the actual events and the documentary, are brilliant. Orlando and Reznikoff bring the story to life in a way that I've never seen before.

positive

It's rightly one of the big-ticket cinematic events of the year - don't miss it.

positive

Even Daryl Hall would have to admit this is one of the finest animated features committed to film, produced and packaged during Walt Disney's ballsiest years of control.

positive

To put it in the reference-heavy parlance of The Gray Man: It's The Cringe Ultimatum, baby.

negative

Lively and moving documentary about six women who survived the Holocaust to live fruitful lives that serve to defy the Nazis' extermination plans.

positive

Easily the worst film about boxing I've ever seen, and I've been trying to think of a sport-related flick equally as unappealing for the last week. I'm still drawing blanks.

negative

Hollywood calculation can't match the primitive eager-to-please quality that made those Hong Kong films refreshing; they were appealing because they were so free of irony.

negative

This is a big screen movie, a whipsmart twist on a particular kind of romantic comedy typically associated with charmless big-budget American studio films.

positive

It is an escalator to nowhere rather than a definitive endgame.

negative

It's got a gorgeous wrapper and a nut in the center, but it's not very sweet.

negative

Brad Pitt gives one of the best performances of his career. It's a deeply internalized performance but one where we can see and know everything he's feeling just by looking in his eyes.

positive

Like Saving Private Ryan or Unbroken, this true story is so incredible that it seems like something Dreamworks would make up

positive

As a documentary dissertation on all that it means to be male in the modern world, you'd be better off investing in the complete works of Ernest Hemingway and watching a few Samuel Fuller and/or John Milius films.

negative

The film offers a compassionate if shallow look at recovery and regaining trust.

positive

Mungiu's Beyond the Hills delicately explores a highly controversial, contemporary subject with the care and intelligence that it necessitates.

positive

Marvel's second production leaves you with an unmistakable impression: The geeks have finally inherited their universe, and they're going to have as much fun with it as superhumanly possible.

positive

Like all great works of art, the story's point has resonances beyond its era and even beyond the specific subject of gay people, generally. It's about what happens when people are marginalized.

positive

Depicts a marriage on the rocks.

positive

Once in a Lifetime is riveting cinema for at least an hour, after which it starts to feel a bit like thumbing through a scrapbook. But American soccer fans -- and those interested in the business of sports -- will eat it up.

positive

Elegant -- a tang of Merchant-Ivory, but with a distinct taste of its own.

positive

Lon Chaney continues his spell weaving... in London After Midnight, a melodrama of such eerie prospecti as vampires who assume the form of winged rodents, corpses arisen from the grave, haunted houses and a master mind from Scotland Yard.

positive

Thrilling and ludicrous. The movie feels entirely instinctual.

positive

Comes off more like a schizophrenic, self-aware jumble of genres -- not to mention a supreme waste of star power.

negative

Marathon Man (1976) is a scary nightmare thriller, best known for the suspenseful pursuit scenes and a truly repellent scene of torture.

positive

In Wonder, the beauty of the relationship between Isabel and Via is the insistence that Via does need her mother-a reminder that we are all hurting, we are all weak, and we all need one another, whether our needs are ordinary or extraordinary.

positive

The film is all the more powerful for its grounding in fact. How powerful? Sufficiently, during most of its length, and extremely during several eruptions of searing drama.

positive

It's a celebration of conformity, a film that begs for laughs by mocking and ridiculing anyone who harbors an original thought or action.

negative

The ever-present reminder of their discomfort is a big part of why the film is so compelling.

positive

Good melodrama.

positive

Shows Renoir knew how to imaginatively use special effects early on in his career.

positive

As the middle panel in Hawks' Western trilogy (all starring John Wayne), the film is not as fresh as Rio Bravo, but it's superior to the third segment, Rio Lobo in 1970, due to the strong characterization and chemistry between Wayne and Robert Mitchum

positive

A touching documentary about the healing powers of music in a hospice setting.

positive

A deliciously Modern Gothic mix of Marx and Freud. Riffs on commerce and consumerism via comedic and horrific uncanny imagery.

positive

Matching its intelligent and taut thrills with richly developed characters and thought-provoking questions, this is one of the decade's best sci-fi flicks.

positive

A bloated, boring 123-minute mess of globby computer effects and soulless battles... "Warcraft" makes you fear for the future of movies.

negative

Isn't It Romantic is unnecessary but it is diverting all the same and even has some wise things to say about regressive rom-com tropes.

negative

Tarsem loses his audience in actionized nonsense, leaving the story's best ideas to remain under-developed, if developed at all.

negative

Appreciate the effort to have this aspect of the film serve the 'playing a game' motif, but there's a point where 'ah-ha' becomes 'trying too hard.'

negative

Robert Pattinson's stare is almost thousand-yard enough to make the film's sense of tragedy feel downright Greek.

positive

The overall slant of the entire movie is a sort of half-hearted indictment of the Old South's code of ethics that was rooted in slavery.

positive

This trashy horror flick is one of my favorite Drew Barrymore movies.

positive

The Woodsman proves any topic, even pedophilia, can be tackled onscreen if handled as expertly as it is here.

positive

A family drama about a clan of grifters evolves into a crime mystery and a devastating indictment not of lawbreakers but of the system that fosters them .

positive

An attempt at a old-fashioned conspiracy thriller about race and dark money in politics in America, 88 is numbingly artless, less a credible drama than a collection of characters lecturing each other.

negative

What starts as a splatter-gun celebration of cyberspace spectacle becomes a savvy, sweet fable of friendship and online distraction, its in-jokes and emotional stakes interwoven with surprising subtlety.

positive

For the most part, Olliver and Orshoski are smart enough to allow Lemmy's unique personality to come to them, as opposed to pushing a case for it.

positive

Will prove too depressing and long-winded for a significant number of U.S. audiences to embrace.

negative

You would think that the horrific case of the West Memphis Three would not need further retelling. This film has little to add to the conversation.

negative

The film's main asset is undoubtedly the magnificent Goodall, as poised, articulate and engaged in her 80s as she was in her fearless 20s ...

positive

No one even gets dragged across concrete.

negative

"Benda Bilili!" is brutally real, a document of willpower that shows not only the magic of transcendence - which may be fleeting - but also the transformation of aspiring to it, every struggling step of the way.

positive

One of the better Hammer films.

positive

Ramsay seems intent on jettisoning anything which might arouse the slightest interest.

negative

Though it'll be confined to the art house circuit, Stranger By the Lake actually has all the ingredients of a mainstream, page-turning summer beach read.

positive

Equal parts sadness and inspiration, fury and compassion, the film is sure to divide audiences along ideological lines. But there's no denying the reality of Tomas Young's experiences. A man who has paid so much is more than entitled to his opinions.

positive

So stuck is the movie inside the heads and hearts of its indisputably gifted makers, it never quite makes the leap into ours.

negative

Do you need a life pick-me-up? The dames are here for you.

positive

Despite some distraction and not quite enough music, Soul manages to tap into deep emotion as its characters explore the limits of mortality and what it means to be passionate about life.

positive

Director Steven Spielberg has constructed a chillingly frightening film.

positive

Joe's affectless state of mind is expressed through the gritty visual texture and cold, grey-blue palette, flat, detached dialogue and above all Ewan McGregor's performance.

positive

A forgotten masterpiece.

positive

Namaste England is just plain awful...

negative

A takedown of a lying president for his incompetent management of Covid in America.

positive

A welcome escape and eventual cult hit for comedy fans this summer.

positive

The film doesn't earn many points for originality, but writer- directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein show just enough low-budget gusto to suggest that they might have a future as B-movie mavens.

negative

Brushing your teeth is more fun

negative

Aniara is astonishingly ambitious, an unlikely emotional rollercoaster anchored by a beautifully-realized protagonist who manages to maintain hope and optimism without being a Pollyanna.

positive

Arthur and the Invisibles makes an excellent case against casting animated movies with celebrity voices. There are people who make their living as voiceover artists, and they would have been infinitely better than the lackluster Robert De Niro.

negative

Aronofsky isn't known for subtlety, so what starts out as late-period Luis Bunuel-style "Have I gone crazy or has everyone else gone crazy?" absurdist farce eventually flash-segues to psychological-thriller to surrealist sensory-overload.

positive

As flat or unwieldy as Unicorn Store can be at times, Larson invests Kit's love of all things bright, pastel and shiny with an affecting urgency, and ensures that her spirit animal is no gimmick.

positive

A routine sci-fi/horror action-adventure, takes us where we've been countless times before.

negative
