2.5/4
In Darkness (2018)
I did find myself wishing that all films this narratively misguided were so directorially sure-footed. Makes getting through them a lot less painful.

Mary Shelley (2018)
Don't expect anyone to shout, 'It's alive!' as they depart the theater.

The Misandrists (2018)
The Misandrists presents an unusual atmosphere, one mainstream cinema can not even conceive of, let alone get on a screen.

The Tale (2018)
The film is one long interrogation, not only from Jennifer the character's standpoint, but from a directorial standpoint.

Just read the book, folks.

1.5/4
On Chesil Beach (2018)
The movie is fairly faithful to the book (except for a couple of awful invented scenes at the end), and yet so much is lost in the transfer.

A non-denominational sermon, under the cinematic care of an artist first, Pope Francis fanboy second.

2.5/4
Cargo (2018)
Perhaps the highest compliment I can pay it is that I think George A. Romero himself would have liked it.

2.5/4
Ultimately, How to Talk to Girls at Parties is like a hyperactive kid at a punk rock show-full of great energy and ambition, but not too sure what to do with it.

.5/4
Show Dogs (2018)
Even by the low standards of this type of live-action, family friendly comedy, Show Dogs is especially lame.

4/4
First Reformed (2018)
A stunning, enrapturing film, a crowning work by one of the American cinema's most essential artists.

3/4
Book Club (2018)
It generally strives to maintain the dignity of its seasoned cast while making hay off of their collective chemistry.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
It's checklist mythology, but thankfully served up with enough panache to make the trip engaging.

Deadpool 2 (2018)

1.5/4
Sollers Point (2018)
Sollers Point is more bland and shapeless than any clearly empathetic project should be.

Dark Crimes (2018)
A movie that is not just muddled in the conventional ways but down to its core.

Fans of Basquiat, Driver and her many, many interview subjects will eat it up. Everyone else will feel compelled on more than one occasion to check their phones.

I can't lie: I was bored throughout the 112 minutes I spent watching Lu Over the Wall.

2.5/4
The Escape (2018)
Tara is a role that she has to inhabit without flash, and Arterton does so, and movingly, in every frame in which she appears.

Filmworker (2018)

3.5/4
Mountain (2018)
The mountains are alive with the sound of chamber music, as well as Willem Dafoe's distinctive vocal intonations as a narrator, in the essay-style documentary Mountain.

Beast (2018)
An extremely strong first feature from Pearce, and Buckley is riveting. You can't look away.

2.5/4
Breaking In (2018)
James McTeigue has a fleet, efficient visual style that keeps the suspense set pieces percolating.

Life of the Party (2018)
The latest Melissa McCarthy star vehicle that fails to do justice to the sheer awesomeness of its leading lady.

Overboard (2018)
There is nothing worse than to sit through what purports to be a comedy and never have a reason to engage your laugh reflex.

1.5/4
The Con Is On (2018)
The kind of movie that seems to think a heap of outrageous details equals a characterization.

2.5/4
The 12th Man (2018)
When Baalsrud, played with resilience by Thomas Gullestad, isn't dodging Germans, his fights against the elements bring to mind films such as The Revenant.
Posted May 4, 2018

2/4
A road movie story that aims toward simplistic and rather formulaic romantic wish-fulfillment.
Posted May 4, 2018

3/4
Like a series of Monet paintings come to life, the historical drama The Guardians luxuriates in lush, widescreen images of the French countryside.

The work by the two leads is consistently committed, not to mention oozing with old fashioned movie-star charisma.

Manhunt (2017)
Manhunt generally holds together rather well and is bound to keep Woo's most faithful fans happy.

3.5/4
Angels Wear White (2018)
A tough and unsparing drama that vividly brings to light the kind of narrative too many people have endured over the years.

2.5/4
RBG (2018)
Cohen and West's approach is so adulatory that the documentary becomes a surface-level work of hagiography.

3/4
Bad Samaritan (2018)
While Bad Samaritan isn't exactly a good film, it is weirdly charming, thanks to its creators' exuberant commitment to unabashedly tacky ideas.

Prison Girls (1972)
"Prison Girls" didn't have a lot of prison sets because it was a big-budget exploitation movie. Maybe.

Diane (2018)
It's a great performance, and a studio would be wise to pick this film up so that the rest of the world can see it.

The Week Of (2018)
More than most of the Sandler Netflix comedies, it almost feels genuine and heartfelt enough that you think you're about to like it and then it just goes wrong again.

2.5/4
Duck Butter (2018)
Just like what Naima and Sergio are doing, the movie is itself an impulsive, fleeting relationship experiment with mixed results.
Posted Apr 27, 2018

3/4
Ava (2018)
While Ava may not reach the rousing heights of the similarly-themed titles like Wadjda and Mustang, it certainly puts its sharp-eyed filmmaker Foroughi on the cinematic map.

The House of Tomorrow (2018)
Coming-of-age bromances don't come much more endearing than The House of Tomorrow.

The Escape of Prisoner 614 (2018)
Writer/director Zach Golden, making his feature debut, does all right by the silly but warmhearted character dynamics and the retro-diner humanism.

2.5/4
Mrs. Hyde (Madame Hyde) (2018)
Maybe it's only fitting that a Jekyll-and-Hyde tale would be of two minds. Unfortunately, neither of them is completely satisfying.
