Movie Reviews
High Life Review: Robert Pattinson Gets Lost in Space
As contemplative and unsettling as it is, High Life struggles to develop its bleak sci-fi vision into an engaging and cohesive piece of cinema.
The Silence Review: Netflix Does A Quiet Place
The Silence is a fairly bland thriller that struggles to leave much of an impact - despite some fleeting moments of pure tension and terror.
Shazam! Review: A Charming, If Uninventive Superhero Origin Story
Shazam! is a wildly fun superhero adventure, with plenty of humor and heart, but struggles at times to strike a good balance between levity and drama.
The Head Hunter Review: Medieval Creature Feature is Low-Budget Fun
Armed with a pulpy spirit and plenty of monster gore to go around, The Head Hunter makes for enjoyably gnarly fantasy horror B-movie entertainment.
Unicorn Store Review: Brie Larson Shines In Shallow Coming-Of-Age Story
Brie Larson's feature directorial debut, Unicorn Store, has more style than substance, but a charming lead performance and important message buoy it.
Pet Sematary Review: Sometimes Stephen King Movies Are Just Decent
Pet Sematary captures the bruality of King's source material, but its attempts to add shocking twists to the original narrative yield mixed results.
The Highwaymen Review: Costner & Harrelson Hunt Bonnie & Clyde
The Highwaymen is a respectable tribute to the men who brought notorious criminals to justice, though it's not always the most engaging watch.
Dumbo Review: A Cute CGI Elephant Can't Save This Hollow Live-Action Retelling
Disney's live-action Dumbo movie has threads of a heartwarming family story, with good performances, but is as shallow as its overly CGI-ed world.
Us Review: Jordan Peele Returns With Another Terrific Horror Movie
Us manages to be funny, freaky, and thrilling all at once, and marks another step forward in Peele's evolving sense of storytelling and craftsmanship.
The Dirt Review: A Mediocre Music Biopic With Some Mötley Crüe Flair
Netflix's The Dirt has all the sensationalist sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll of Mötley Crüe, but little heart despite its attempts to humanize the band.
Captive State Review: Some Alien Invasions Are Just Confusing
Captive State makes an admirable attempt to buck genre conventions, but the resulting film is a muddled and otherwise incoherent sci-fi allegory.
Made in Abyss: Journey's Dawn Review - Spirited Away Into the Abyss
Made in Abyss stumbles a little during its jump to the big screen, but its mythology remains as fascinating and bizarre as ever in Journey's Dawn.
Five Feet Apart Review: The Fault in Our YA Romances
Five Feet Apart is a well-acted YA romance and provides some welcome representation, but eventually finds itself bogged down in shlocky melodrama.
Wonder Park Review: The Park is Cooler Than the Story
Wonder Park has a wonderfully touching message about sadness and fear set in a wildly imaginative world, with a still rather unremarkable story.
Triple Frontier Review: Affleck & Isaac Lead Strong Thriller
Triple Frontier is a tense, dramatic thriller buoyed by a handful of strong performances and a fascinating screenplay by Mark Boal.
Captain Marvel Review: A Marvelous, Empowering MCU Origin Story
Captain Marvel has all the usual MCU humor and action (with a few surprises), and plenty of girl power moments in Larson's strong performance.
The Kid Review: Vincent D'Onofrio's Western is Broody to a Fault
The Kid is a well-intentioned attempt to make a contemplative western, but ultimately mistakes gritty violence and broodiness for substance.
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind Review: Ejiofor Crafts a Sturdy Memoir
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is respectfully restrained to a fault, but its earnest and authentic outlook provides the biopic with a beating heart.
Greta Review: This Thriller Should've Gone Full Isabelle Huppert
Greta is far more silly than sinister, but is partially saved by Isabelle Huppert's gloriously theatrical performance as the film's titular character.
