★★ | Cartoonish to a fault, Sisu 2 is 90 minutes of Looney Tunes mayhem that overstays its welcome by a half hour.
★★ | Frustratingly slow and overloaded with ideas, Retreat is a fantastically acted thriller that shows much promise from its debut director.
★★ | A fascinating blend of genres and ideas, & Sons features great performances in a film that never comes together satisfyingly.
★★ | Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst are charming in an otherwise off-putting celebration of a petty criminal.
★★ | Paul Thomas Anderson's unfocused centrist satire has so little to say it turns into a test of patience for the audience.
★★ | A romantic climate change comedy without a tone or sense of fun, Peak Everything ends up being a dull exercise in end of the world anxiety.
★★ | Matthew McConaughey is fantastic in an otherwise bland and by-the-numbers survival drama.
★★ | Chloe Zhao's beautifully staged film about grief feels empty and manipulative.
★★ | Russell Crowe shines in an otherwise reductive and revisionist mess.
★★ | Passion and ambition don't always equal quality. Lost Soul Aside has plenty of ideas, but no vision to put them together. Instead, it settles for a muddled selection of borrowed mechanics, tied together by disastrously bad writing and acting.
★★ | Too big and broad for its own good, the charming cast save what they can in this e-sports comedy looking for a better story.
★★ | Weapons features brilliant performances and a superlative first act, all let down by a mess of a second half.
