Onward (2020)
Pixar has given the world many indelible images since the first Toy Story movie in 1995. I guess we can add "the gelatinous cube" to the list.

Seberg (2020)
Seberg remains a bit of a blank.

Emma. (2020)
There are so many bright young actors here, this movie could well become the Dazed and Confused of British cinema.

The Invisible Man (2020)
That rare film in which screen space becomes a living, vital presence.

The Call of the Wild (2020)
Kiddie fare, and not especially distinguished as that. But it does come to life when Ford and the other old wolves get their due.

Brightly colored but also cool and crisp; you can feel the brisk sea air in its scenes of women striding along the coast.

The Assistant (2020)
Green's idea to leave the mogul off the screen - a brilliant concept - forces us to concentrate more intently on the effect of someone like this.

Downhill (2020)
It's certainly something different from the usual run of bigscreen comedies, but what we see doesn't go far enough.

Just when you think you have this movie figured out, it shape-shifts on you.

A workmanlike but ultimately effective film.

The Gentlemen (2020)
The same smirk is in place, the same breezy pleasure in random violence, the same snickering over gay jokes and Asian names.

Bad Boys for Life (2020)
Smith and Lawrence, who could both use a career boost, look tired of the whole thing. The hotshot energy they had as younger actors bubbles up only in flashes here.

Dolittle (2020)
Hyperactive and jokey, large-scaled but swift-moving, the film perks along enough to get genuinely bizarre at times.

Like a Boss (2020)
A movie in which the dead air that follows bad jokes sometimes threatens to swallow its actors whole.

Little Women (2019)
The actors, especially, create an authentic sense of camaraderie -- Gerwig gets lively energy going without violating the period setting.

Cats (2019)
Cats is not good. But the blame goes to the clumsy style of director Tom Hooper, not people wearing digital fur.

The Two Popes (2019)
Despite its undeniably cornball moments, it gets by with the two strong actors and the Italian settings.

Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)
The wild chases and hordes of stampeding ostriches keep pulling us away from hang-out time with our bantering avatars.

Richard Jewell (2019)
So well done, it makes you regret Eastwood's determination to grind an ax on this intriguing story.

The Aeronauts (2019)
Settles for high adventure rather than accurate history, and if you can accept the pumped-up heroics, it plays fine as a family-friendly escapade.

Marriage Story (2019)
At times harrowing but often blazingly funny.

Honey Boy (2019)
Ha'rel creates a woozy, sunbaked style for the material. She has a talent for finding the rhythm of intense exchanges between characters -- and there are quite a few of those here.

Frozen II (2019)
A smartly-turned piece of family entertainment. It is also redundant, somehow even more than most sequels.

The Report (2019)
Thanks in part to Driver's committed performance, we never lose awareness that something urgent and tragic is at play.

The Irishman (2019)
Everything from the color of the drapes to the way people eat cereal has been shaped; you can feel Scorsese's care.

Last Christmas (2019)
Golding came out of Crazy Rich Asians as a hot new property, so it's disappointing to see him stuck in a neutered role.

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Cameron's gift for grabby ideas is on juicy display - it's candy you know is empty calories, but hard to resist.

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)
Just as jokey and just as violent as the first film, a demonstration of having it both ways.

Lucy in the Sky (2019)
Another fine turn for a terrific actress, even if the film itself has a tendency to bump its tail on terra firma.
