"Reeves...moves from the outer edges of the film to its center as he becomes a human, his joy of dancing and eating 'chicken nuggies' endearing...If only Ansari's direction of the film was as sure footed as Reeves' performance." #GoodFortune #KeanuReeves

"So, how does the killer get brought back for a sequel? In a film that plays like "A Nightmare on Elm St." without the humor crossed with "The Shining."" #BlackPhone2

"Dickenson's is a solid debut, exhibiting a compassionate voice. Dillane's Mike, with his corolla of unbrushed hair that rests on his head like a cloud, is a man worth saving who keeps getting lost." #Urchin #FrankDillane #HarrisDickinson

"The veteran director and debuting screenwriter tackle all kinds of current issues in addition to #MeToo from identity politics to self medication to class structures and in her most complex role to date, Julia Roberts juggles them all." #AfterTheHunt

Playing in select theaters today, on Netflix next Friday, "The Perfect Neighbor" is a devastating documentary about the Florida case of Susan Lorincz, a neighborhood nuisance who shot and killed her neighbor, Ajike "AJ" Shantrell Owens, the mother of four. Highly recommended.

"the Oscar-winning director and writer Noah Oppenheim scare the pants off of us theorizing about just what might happen in a very plausible real world life or death scenario, the epitome of a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't situation."

Joachim Rønning takes over the franchise, goosing the simple 'good use of AI' versus 'bad use of AI' plot with eye-popping effects-laden action scenes and a fantastic NIN score which responds to every emotional beat.

"While...song and dance numbers play to Lopez's strengths, too often the effort peaks through...She's fine, but the film is more alive within the prison cell, Tonatiuh's emotionally devastating performance the film's heart and soul." #KissOfTheSpiderWoman

"Leonberg and his producer wife have created a startlingly original and technically astounding new film by coaxing their dog, Indy.on a closed set, editing that performance into their supernatural narrative with chilling, and ultimately moving, effect. #GoodBoy

"one of those slow burners, a movie that teases out just how its characters are connected and what has befallen them to create present rifts, but it doesn't exactly say anything new and the film's catalyst, Brian, is the least well drawn character." #Anemone

"Safdie, who directs with the same caffeinated, if slightly less hyper-active style as "Uncut Gems," gives us a three perspectives on Kerr...You will forget you are watching Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson, so completely does he settle into Kerr's skin."

""Junebug's" writer, Angus MacLachlan, writes and directs a new feature which, while not quite on "Junebug's" level, is on the same wavelength...a minor miracle, a family drama that takes an important stand for women's rights." #ALittlePrayer #DavidStrathairn

"Neo Sora seamlessly blends multiple genres - coming-of-age, high school rebellion and science fiction - in his futuristic look at how one group of friends in Tokyo react to both local and national oppression." #HappyEnd

"While the film's direction exhibits inexperience, Johansson took on a complex premise that invites discussion and shows promise...One also must admire Squibb's embrace of a character with sharp edges..."

"Justin Tipping purportedly wanted to critique football with a body horror film, but instead he's delivered something that is at once obvious and muddled, a film more committed to flashy style than coherence...the biggest disappointment of the year." #HIM

"a grab bag of horrific images in a film of two very different parts, the first demonic possession, the second a garden variety slasher pick which criticizes the media for exploiting the same things that this movie does." #Traumatika #moviereviews
