Americana
There is a lot of wacky content to fit in one movie. Somehow, absolutely none of it is interesting.

East of Wall
In its uncomplicated way, it encompasses the beauty of this world and the challenges of living in it. It is a truly touching story.

It is very entertaining, darkly funny and compelling, probably an all-around better movie than Barbarian, even if it doesn’t live up to its full potential, at least on first viewing.

She Rides Shotgun
What sets it apart a bit from its peers is the gritty direction and an incredible performance from its young star.

Together
A captivating, occasionally funny, smart, horror movie about a couple who lean on one another for their identity.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps
It isn’t a bad movie; it is well-made, with a decent pace and excellent production design. It is merely a perfunctory one.

The Home
It may not work, but does it have to when enjoyment can be had from seeing how crazy it looks when it doesn’t?

Oh, Hi!
Most of all, it is pretty funny, never being so silly that its themes get overwhelmed, while also never forgetting that it is a comedy centering around a ridiculous situation.

Eddington
it just sits there on the screen, with no resolution, no insight, nothing to say beyond how messed up everything is. There is some good stuff here, yet it ultimately isn’t worth the trouble.

Abraham's Boys
It isn’t actively bad, yet there is absolutely nothing compelling about it.
