Captain Marvel
“The final product [does] a disservice to what should have been a triumphant moment for the franchise.”

Adore
“A melodrama that teeters between hokey romance and incestuous nonsense.”
Animal Kingdom
“An unnerving thriller that paces itself like a minimalist film…with a gritty darkness.”
