The Blackening
It is consistently enjoyable, smart in its ridiculousness and I laughed a lot.

Elemental
It is certainly not a terrible experience. Still, it is hard to recommend it when Pixar has done so much better, so many times.

You Hurt My Feelings
A well-written, well-acted, intelligent, funny movie about people trying to do their best, while being unsure if there’s a point.

Renfield
I sort of enjoyed Renfield, even though the individual pieces tell me I should have loved it.

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
The result is thoroughly okay and instantly forgettable.

Cocaine Bear
The movie’s charm is partially due to the goofy set-pieces. But it is predominantly due to the idea of a bear doing lots of cocaine.

Somebody I Used to Know
Somebody I Used to Know isn’t a great entry in its subgenre, yet it is a pleasant one because of Allison Brie.

The Banshees of Inisherin
This definitely feels like a movie that will only become richer and more effecting upon repeat viewings.
