This takes aim at class, culture and race in a lively, unsubtle, pull-no-punches kind of way. It also does many other things, some of them very strange. It is extremely entertaining.

A standalone entry that doesn’t really further the plot of the show in any way, almost like it was designed to appeal to audiences who have never seen the show.

It is a pretty solid genre entry that occasionally hints at the richer story dancing at its edges.

It is an intriguing concept brought to life in an exceedingly dull film. The characters are thin, with the central one being a complete void of interest, and the pacing is extremely sluggish.

The patient, subtly emotional filmmaking, and a very strong performance from excellent character actor John Magaro, make for a mostly engaging drama.

It is smart, with likable characters, a very good cast (onscreen as well as via voiceover), a mystery that makes sense and genuinely amusing jokes.

It is cute, with funny moments, and does enough different things, while still feeling a lot like its predecessor. In short, it is fine; I am not mad that I saw it.

Hokum is entertaining, creepy and suspenseful. It generates a sense of dread through its location, an old hotel, mixed with the way the past haunts the protagonist.

The screenplay never puts in the work to get them to see where they went wrong. It is more like their hatred stops making sense to them because they need to cooperate to stay alive.

At no point is anyone in this movie given the tiniest shred of depth. They are all pit stops on Michael’s journey.
