Why quibble? You'll still go home purring and wagging your tail.

The Broken Hearts Gallery (2020)
"Broken Hearts" wends its way toward the foregone conclusion with a single-minded determination that is admirable, if not exactly unexpected.

2.5/4
Words on Bathroom Walls (2020)
When "Words on Bathroom Walls" is at its sunniest and most blithe, the moral of the story feels a little more like a punchline than is appropriate.

Project Power (2020)
'Project Power" is a serviceable, drug-themed crime thriller, made just a skosh more interesting by a handful of ingredients that give it a boost.

Hearts of the World (1918)
Exquisite in pathos, tremendous in the scope of its visualization of the debacle of the trenches and without a peer in photographic beauty.

3.5/4
Boys State (2020)
"Boys State" is a portrait of the country in microcosm: divided, but not yet irredeemably lost.

Tequila Sunrise (1988)
Sexy and intelligent is an irresistible combination, and "Tequila Sunrise" is the sexiest, most intelligent Hollywood movie in a long time.

The Go-Go's (2020)
"The Go-Go's" benefits enormously from its determination to interview Olavarria and others who were left eating the band's dust.

Temple Grandin (2010)
Temple Grandin is an amazingly assembled, superbly acted, strikingly sweet film about Grandin's life -- and the cows' death.

The Fight (2020)
[An] engrossing and ultimately inspiring examination of ideals in action...

Carmen (II) (1915)
The fight between Carmen and another girl in the factory is remarkably realistic -- and apparently exceedingly painful to the girl assigned to the part.

The Kissing Booth 2 (2020)
If "The Kissing Booth 2" is watchable, viewers have Elle to thank; King remains the strongest component of a now-franchise that, quite frankly, might be beneath her.

Radioactive (2020)
Despite Satrapi's best efforts to smooth out the story and imbue it with depth and theatrical interest, the story can't overcome some of its most unwieldy structural flaws.

The Painted Bird (2020)
[A] harrowing, gorgeous - yes, slightly sadistic - and ultimately deeply moving film.

In Deep with Ryan Lochte (2020)
The look in Lochte's eyes, if I'm not mistaken, is one of increasing worry. Who is he, if no one's watching him?

The Old Guard (2020)
Unlike similar flights of escapism and potency, this one never loses sight of the "human" part of superhuman.

Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets (2020)
An absorbing portrait of drinking life in all its joys - fellowship, high spirits and fleeting, flirty intimacy - and sorrows.

Cabiria (1914)
This Is the first time that audiences here have had an opportunity to see the last word in moving pictures... the most magnificent film ever produced.

Path to War (2002)
From whatever angle you approach it, though, "Path to War" is a tremendous achievement -- not as a history lesson but as a profoundly emotional experience.

Its moments of stinging insight and soaring cinematic rhetoric once again prove why Spike Lee might be America's most indispensable filmmaker.

Cinema Verite (2011)
Cinema Verite gets too busy too fast, simplifying and overlooking much of what initially made An American Family the sociological treasure trove it still is.

The High Note (2020)
If this iteration doesn't quite achieve the full liftoff of the best of the form, it still manages to hit more than a few pleasure centers as a summery slice of light escapism.

2.5/4
"Good Trip" aims to entertain, not educate, as it presents a star-studded parade of celebrity reminiscences about taking hallucinogenic drugs. Mostly, it succeeds.
