Logan
“[Logan] outdoes every film in the ‘X’-series—and most comic book movies, period.”
The Great Wall
“Boring…It doesn’t ever fully embrace its potential for mash-up weirdness.”
The LEGO Batman Movie
“At its best and most brilliant in these moments of winking, hyperbolic-yet spiritually-reverent adaptation.”
The Space Between Us
“Might be enough to placate some less discerning audiences, but it’s inauthentic.”
Split
“Mixed results. A head-scratching end to the climax and an icky aftertaste in the epilogue.”
Patriots Day
“Director Peter Berg has put together a fantastic ensemble piece that never loosens the screws.”
Silence
“It’s a tough nut to crack, [but] it’s harrowing and challenging; well performed and well written.”
Hidden Figures
“Inspirational, but lacks a resonance strong enough to differentiate itself from the well-trodden genre.”
