Dear Evan Hansen (2021)
Aside from the distracting age difference, Platt's performance is one of the worst I've seen all year.

Candyman (2021)
One of the most thematically rich horror movies released in recent years, but its rushed finale keeps it from exploring those themes as deeply as it could.

The Zero Theorem (2014)
Simply put, though, there's just nothing in The Zero Theorem that hasn't been done better before.

A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014)
What makes A Walk Among the Tombstones so satisfying is the script and direction of Scott Frank.

American Sniper (2015)
Eastwood does his best to make things work, though. And that effort results in one of his best in a while. But there's only so far he can take this script.

Black Souls (2015)
What separates this one from the pack, though, is its lush cinematography and evocative sound design.

Entertaining and thought-provoking throughout.

B
Bad Moms (2016)
Because Kunis, Bell and especially Hahn are such game comedians, they find a way to make it feel fresh.
Posted Aug 10, 2021

B-
Jason Bourne (2016)
Doesn't do anything new with the franchise, and what used to be executed with precision feels clumsy here.

Gleason (2016)
Gleason is a moving portrait of a remarkable fighter.

Certain Women (2016)
While the first and third segments of this film are quite good -- the third in particular -- the middle section is such a boring slog that it drags the whole film down.

Lion (2016)
Feels like a two-and-a-half-hour version of ... the kind of spot that should end with the words 'Happy Holidays from All of Us at Google.'

The Hate U Give (2018)
While its ending ties up everything in a perhaps too-neat little bow, the film also stands as one of the most powerful and vital films of the year.
