The Suicide Squad (2021)
Not only does it find the nastily enjoyable vibe that eluded its predecessor, but it also tells a story worth following...

Jungle Cruise (2021)
Compared to other attempts to turn theme park attractions into fresh revenue streams, it's not as lifeless as The Haunted Mansion or Tomorrowland. But that doesn't mean it's good.

The Green Knight (2021)
Led by Dev Patel at his most magnetic, this is a fantastical adventure in a genre all of its own.

Ailey (2021)
Perhaps the greatest gift of this tightly conceived and beautiful doc lies in its appreciation of the divinity of dance.

Jolt (2021)
I'm not opposed to watching Beckinsale kick ass or Tucci deliver wry lines with finesse, but the inconsistencies pile up in frustrating fashion.

Broken Diamonds (2021)
10
An endearing and consuming, but by no means surprising, dual-timeline love story - perfectly suitable for a Friday night.

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021)
As shamelessly corporate popcorn movies go, Snake Eyes is better than most. That's not high praise, but considering the film's dopey pedigree, it's not nothing.

It's an edifying and introspective film, with something valuable to say about embracing our most carnal impulses without shame.

Midnight in the Switchgrass (2021)
15
Watching large chunks of this film feels like being transported into a trance-like reverie, albeit a reverie that quite often has nightmarish contours.

As a portrait of a besieged community carrying on as best it can, the film is keenly observed, its character observations lucid and engrossing.

The Restless offers no vaccines or easy solutions for the sickness depicted at its core, but instead proposes that we learn to live with it for worse and perhaps for better.

Casablanca Beats (2021)

In Front of Your Face (2021)
Typical of Hong's work, the laid-back anti-storytelling lets daily life flow slowly by without incident, until a revelatory twist in the last act gives the film its meaning.

Vortex (2021)
It feels like a more mature Noé has arrived...

Nitram (2021)
Nitram is an uncommonly tough, taxing film with an aftershock that's hard to shake.

Lamb (2021)
Lamb is a disturbing experience but also a highly original take on the anxieties of being a parent, a tale in which nature plus nurture yields a nightmare.

The Story of My Wife (2021)
Cinephiles who are fans of Enyedi's work will be left wondering whether her idiosyncratic voice took an extended vacation when she made this film.

Clara Sola (2021)
Led by a feral performance from dancer Wendy Chinchilla Araya, the drama occupies its own territory, tinged with magical realism and deeply immersed in the sensory world.

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions lacks many of the original's strengths while failing to improve on its more underdeveloped aspects.

Red Rocket (2021)
34
Selfie (2019)
The reason that Selfie makes such an impression... is that it doesn't only focus on all the bad or hopeless things that surround the boys.

Whatever the screenplay's stumbles, Cage's contained performance embraces his character's losses and his turning away from the world without the slightest play for sympathy.
