at this point , cage's movies don't have to be reviewed , but rather stamped with official certificates of weirdness .

0positive

soul has a perfectly good message . still , once director pete docter and co-director kemp powers , who both wrote the script with mike jones , lead us through how things work , they fall back on convention .

0positive

" outside the wire " is an efficient , fast-paced rollercoaster ride that's smart and buoyed by a razor-sharp screenplay and two magnetic performances .

0positive

a loud , boisterous , eye-popping spectacle that will absolutely blow your socks off with dazzling visuals and immersive exhibition , even if solving puzzles isn't your thing

0positive

malek and washington are electric together in this atmospheric , moody thriller that will keep you guessing and on the edge of the proverbial seat ( or living room sofa ) . you won't be able to shake this one off for a very long time .

0positive

consistent with its protagonist , " land " presents a guarded , ambiguous , and naive narrative .

0positive

the little things [ prefers ] style and formula over genuine substance , but there's something undeniably charming about its nasty , unabashed familiarity .

0positive

it offers a surprising and attractive alternative to the fantastical imaginary of hollywood that is close to exhaustion .

watts gives one of her best performances in years as she takes us through sam's struggles , which often include anger and self-pity .

0positive

the film allows the scion of one of hollywood's most notable families to interrogate her relationship with celebrity in self-aware fashion .

0positive

ridiculously complicated , childishly simple , and completely overwhelming .

0positive

[ australian director simon stone ] makes archeology fascinating , thanks in large part to an economical script and understated performances .

0positive

the understated , internalised filmmaking gives each scene a remarkable intimacy , pulling us in further .

0positive

the best way to go about trying to understand tenet is to just sit there and enjoy the ride .

0positive

thanks to hancock's craft and the discipline of the actors , it's more than watchable , but you are unlikely to be haunted , disturbed or even surprised .

0positive

it's basically inception for time travel instead of dreams .

0positive

locked down is a fun escapist flick for the pandemic , examining life under quarantine , and the reflections that come with living during an era of incredible uncertainty .

0positive

" tenet " is indeed impressive , although i gave up trying to follow the plot .

0positive

the overall effect is like picking up a copy of national geographic , turning to a long and ambitious photo essay , and not reading the captions . it also shows the limits of what rosi can achieve .

0positive

the similarities with se7en can't possibly be accidental . but then the little things does something more interesting than pin the blame on kevin spacey : it rips the 'social contract' thrillers have with the audience .

0positive

emma . feels like an act of cinematic indulgence . the film is decadent , delicious , and a delight from start to finish .

0positive

it is exactly the kind of haute trash you would expect from a sion sono-nicolas cage collaboration . to paint the movie in words is like trying to instil it with meaning and coherence to which it doesn't really aspire .

0positive

we eventually learn certain details about miguel's life and i'll say no more other than this : for those who believe everything happens for a reason , nobody in the world was better suited to find edee than miguel .

0positive

it's kind of an eye-roller for anyone over 25 . however it's very well made and lana condor is so adorable and so unbelievably charismatic .

0positive

" tenet " is virtuoso filmmaking and frustrating storytelling in equal measure .

0positive

an interesting twist on the border drama , daring to depict mexico as complex and nuanced country the ultimate message feels uncomfortably muddled .

0positive

jacobs' film unearths a humorous odyssey from the character's separation with wealth and the baggage it brings .

0positive

despite a tendency to overuse dramatic closeups , wright has taken on an enormous challenge and , for the most part this succeeds in showing the importance of human connection . this film couldn't come at a better time .

0positive

in a year largely without superheroes , it's wonderfully fitting that patty jenkins' " wonder woman 1984 " emerges at the very end , helping rescue us from this period of misery and despair .

0positive

if you stick it out to the end , you'll either hate it or feel you need to watch it again .

0positive

tenet falters to crystallise all its sophisticated and complex mechanics , but as an enthralling piece of cinema where imagination meets scale and ambition , it is the epitome of nolan at his best .

0positive

proves to be not only a satisfying thriller , but a captivating character study .

0positive

shadow in the cloud's themes about sexism and gender roles serve as a rebuke to landis' authorship , as if liang put pen to paper with her middle finger squarely aimed at toxic male culture .

0positive

the mauritanian reaches for something not many hollywood productions do : telling a story centered not just the moral quandaries its western characters face , but on the soul of the man at the center of it all .

0positive

proves to be a fairly conventional military-action pic despite its moments of asimovian philosophy .

0positive

it's entertaining enough , but you wish it had something quirkier , more messily human , more imaginatively drawn outside the lines to it .

0positive

it's a harsh film , rough and ready and daring as hell .

0positive

shaw's defiantly ugly aesthetic is backed by a bratty sense of humor and r-rated antics .

0positive

wright has delivered a compelling analogy of grief and survival .

0positive

if anyone were to push emma woodhouse into a less straitened age , why not the woman who captured childish gambino in a palm-tree polyblend ?

0positive

naomi watts and andrew lincoln bring this beautiful true story to life , set in stunning australia .

the film is dramatically clunky but marvelously acted .

0positive

sharply comedic , quietly quirky , magically beguiling and endearingly odd .

promising young woman is the controversial film we need right now to start important conversations .

sono seems to be making that argument that , if given a chance to make a movie , why not squeeze everything out of that chance that you can ?

0positive

surreal touches and a moody tone give this intriguing film a dreamlike quality , as writer-director mike cahill explores the nature of reality through the eyes of people going through trauma .

their kismet connection feels tangible , and when it's all over as ambiguous as ever , you know it's better to believe the ending that makes you less sad .

0positive

cooke and o'connell both give strong performances , conveying the emotions of this devoted couple as they face the end of the world and the end of their connection at the same time .

0positive

the most complex work yet by nolan with a superb john david washington as the film's protagonist . visually stunning as the director layers scenes where others would use flashbacks or non-linear edits .

0positive

tenet is christopher nolan's weakest film . it's also evidence that christopher nolan's weakest film is still way better and more exciting than some directors' best films .

0positive

a worthy sendoff for the beloved trilogy .

0positive

it's the most nolan movie ever and i'm not sure it makes since but i was enthralled nonetheless .

0positive

outside the wire feels like a middling effort with an ineffective gimmick and undercooked script .

0positive

this impressionistic nonfiction survey shot over three years' course captures life amongst those fleeing civil wars , isis , foreign invasions and more , in the borderlands between iraq , syria , lebanon and kurdistan .

0positive

bliss is going to be hit or miss for audiences and doesn't exactly execute what the trailer promises . but , the film is one that will land with those who can feel the emotions laying under its surface .

0positive

a mix of science-fiction with reality , this is a movie that's fueled by pure curiosity . it's a documentary for anyone interested in contemplating deeper meaning , even if it is presented by ideas that may seem wild .

0positive

what pulls the movie out of its stylistic complacency is rahim's performance as slahi .

0positive

it helps too when you have actors of firth's and tucci's caliber bringing these heartbroken and defiant men to life in ways that expose their circumstance's vulnerability .

0positive

the retro pastel optimism is ironic , but the dark stuff slips by in subtext . this bold , colorful tale , recalling classic superhero films , could be happening in a parallel universe a much nicer one .

0positive

although it can't fully escape from the cliches of the superhero genre , its fresh vision , and the performances of its cast , led by charlize theron , make this saga work .

0positive

more than decent action thriller from netflix , starring a set of fine performers .

0positive

the film works as some sort of exorcism , where our protagonist is the one trying to extract evilness from his life , but it's rival will fight strongly .

0positive

denzel washington has an ability to elevate any run-of-the-mill genre piece , even one as slick and sophisticated as john lee hancock's " the little things , " a sharp , suspenseful , yet uneasy slice of neo-noir .

0positive

every frame of emma is sumptuous , like downton abbey on steroids , but this isn't masterpiece theatre . it brims with life and mischievousness , becoming more alive as emma inches toward adulthood .

0positive

cahill's latest film is an exercise in existential inquiry .

0positive

the misadventures of the eccentrically wealthy may not exactly fit the mood right now , but the new " french exit " is so genuine in its mix of arch and earnest , idiosyncrasy and earthiness that it creates a space all for itself .

0positive

violent , profane wwii thriller addresses sexual harassment .

0positive

skill like this also goes a long way towards excusing plot holes , and this is one area where " the old guard " is by no means an exception good thing there's the incredible action scenes to distract .

0positive

mackie and idris play well off each other . the characters are well defined , which makes you feel good about taking this frenetic journey with them .

0positive

[ an ] uneven film that nevertheless improves considerably on the previous dc comic book movies .

0positive

a tender , earnest tale of how love and nurturing can truly change lives .

0positive

the plotting wobbles , sure , but the four lead performances are first-rate . jenkins channels lester and donner with warmth , optimism and even outright silliness that a lot of audience members crave in challenging times .

0positive

anne hathaway and chiwetel ejiofor are great in this enjoyable romantic comedy about quarantine life , love and aspirations .

0positive

while " things " is engrossing overall , it becomes flat-out riveting whenever leto appears on screen .

0positive

tenet is not the best film nolan's created , but it may be his most ambitious and there's much to be lauded in that .

0positive

offbeat and compelling superhero saga that's more about self-discovery than saving the day .

0positive

outside the wire is probably too bombastic and inconsistent to take hugely seriously , but features some decent ideas and its intentions are largely honourable .

0positive

the animation is truly delightful , and it was clearly a labor of love . imaginative and wonderfully designed , even if it isn't perfect , cryptozoo is most definitely an experience .

0positive

i don't know that the movie works as a whole . still . it's great to see owen wilson back onscreen . and good for him for trying to work his issues out through his art .

0positive

" no man's land " comes out of the blue to comment memorably on the immigration crisis by simply giving human life its due . it's wise and empathetic and worth a watch .

0positive

another example of when a familiar idea and setting are executed well , their familiarity is not a mark against it ( and may even be an asset )

0positive

a film about a strange set of self-involved socialites , for whom you'd care little if it weren't for michelle pfeiffer's tour-de-force performance and an avalanche of clever turns-of-phrase

0positive

wright is relaxed and almost meditative as she takes in the beauty of the horizon , and her simple directing captures the majesty of nature .

0positive

well-made , well-acted but super boringi liked the movie , i actually dug it , but it's slow and gentle and not much happens

0positive

as it is , the film is a star turn that reminds us of pfeiffer's magnetism , the rare performer who's able to captivate us and elevate a mediocre script into an entertaining lark , a pleasant enough timewaster that allows us to bask in her presence .

0positive

it feels like a script that's collected dust since the '90s , recalling crime thrillers of its era such as " the silence of the lambs . " it's a shame it wasn't made back then , as we've since seen much better versions in " se7en , " " zodiac " and " prisoners . "

0positive

there's a great movie somewhere in here , it doesn't always shine through . i thought it was a good time .

0positive

" locked down " is just an ok-to-pretty-good movie , but it's a novel creation all the same .

0positive

the mauritanian isn't a perfect filmbut it does as good a job as any i've seen in conveying the pure madness of the era .

0positive

supernova annihilated me .

0positive

the new film adaptation of emma by screenwriter eleanor catton and director autumn de wilde manages to breathe new life into material that might otherwise seem stale to kids reared on youtube videos and instagram feeds .

0positive

you can see the strings all being enthusiastically pulled by screenwriters harry cripps and shaun grant - but the film's emotional manipulations work , even if they're obvious .

0positive

the restraint is admirable without being enjoyable . it's easy to imagine exiting the theater in normal times , blinking at the sun , and turning to a friend and simply going , " huh , solid enough . "

0positive

" emma . " is as much a sweetly funny romantic comedy as it is an utter delight for your eyes .

0positive

christopher nolan's latest brain-bender is an entertaining if rather dense spy thriller .

0positive

a spellbinding hillbilly noir with a brilliant cast . a movie where bad things just keep happening but always with a wry sense of the absurd .

0positive

skyfire is a disaster thriller composed of equal parts cheese and magma , but it's clearly trying to recreate the good vibrations of the original jurassic park .

0positive

a film that is equal parts distressing as it is touching .

0positive

the first us-produced film to receive distribution in iran in four decades , kourosh ahari's the night is also one of the very best horror movies i've seen in recent years , rich in atmosphere and clever storytelling .
