War for the Planet of the Apes
“Reeves has taken this re-imagining to a level we could not have predicted.”
Beatriz at Dinner
“Dialogue bites without allowing the main characters to maul each other with their incompatible beliefs.”
Alien: Covenant
“Passable sci-fi fare. Katherine Waterston is wonderful and Sigourney Weaver-esque.”
Beauty and the Beast
“Wonderful set pieces, costumes, and childhood memories aside, this version is fairly unexceptional.”
Get Out
“Tonally satisfying and provocative. Director Jordan Peele makes a clever, anti-racism statement.”
The Space Between Us
“Might be enough to placate some less discerning audiences, but it’s inauthentic.”
La La Land
“An adorable, choreographed-to-a-fault work of art. Stone and Gosling light up every scene.”
Lion
“Tender, sincere and will definitely be a hard watch for anyone who has ever lost a child or parent.”
Fences
“Incredible performances, which is reason enough to forgive the film’s shortcomings.”
Jackie
“Begins and ends with Natalie Portman’s powerful performance, as she masks her pain with poise.”
Moonlight
“All three actors who portray the main character bring a unique innocence that is palpable.”
Trolls
“Exciting to get an animated movie that captures some of the delightful aspects of the musical genre.”
