Only a director of Francis Ford Coppola’s considerable ability could make something this disjointed and ridiculous so dull.

It doesn’t always hit its mark, but Daddio isn’t boring.

Ghostlight
This isn’t about acting; it is about taking a step forward, when that is the most difficult thing in the world. This is a beautiful story.

The Dead Don't Hurt
The Dead Don’t Hurt is clearly the work of a filmmaker getting to make what he wanted. The result is admirable, if generally just okay.

Challengers
I enjoyed Challengers quite a bit, while also being mildly frustrated whenever its style overwhelmed its story.

Arthur the King
Arthur the King pushes all the manipulative buttons. I would’ve been really annoyed with it if it didn’t charm me.

The End We Start From
A thoughtful production that makes struggling to find normalcy in the wake of a massive disaster terrifyingly relatable.

Memory
Memory is an interesting movie that doesn’t have as much to say about its subject matter as it first seems.
