Ronan deserves better. And so do we.

1.5/4
Big Kill (2018)
"Big Kill" plays on the screen for a little more than two hours. But at best it contains maybe 30 minutes of story.

The Front Runner (2018)
As played by an aloof Hugh Jackman - the Australian actor affects an uneven accent - Hart is little more than a cipher.

Day One (2018)
You can't help but be inspired by "Day One." It's a story of truly good people doing truly good work.

2/4
Swimming to Ferguson (2018)
As a movie, it flails in the water and swims against the tide.

3/4
White Boy Rick (2018)
Demange coaxes a mostly passable performance out of Merritt - it's not bad for a debut - and a quietly nuanced one from McConaughey.

Sorry to Bother You (2018)
"Sorry to Bother You" is an uncompromising and timely film of unapologetic brilliance.

Skyscraper (2018)
Just another film that squanders the movie-star charisma of Johnson, who should consider lending his box-office clout to more worthy projects.

Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)
In a cinematic world crowded with comic-book flicks, "Ant-Man and the Wasp" stands out. And that's no small accomplishment.

Whitney (2018)
It's all the Whitney Houston documentary you'll ever need - if you need one at all.

Leave No Trace (2018)
"Leave No Trace" isn't a popcorn flick, but serious film buffs will find much to appreciate.

Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)
"Sicario: Day of the Soldado" is a sequel that barely justifies its existence.

3.5/4
Hearts Beat Loud (2018)
Haley engagingly traces the arc of the father-daughter relationship while deftly avoiding sentimentality. And he elicits fine performances from a splendid cast.

Another "Jurassic" flick wasn't necessary, but it's a fantastic ride all the same.

Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018)
At a time when tolerance and compassion often seem to be under siege, "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" reminds us that the softest voices often have the strongest impact.

Incredibles 2 (2018)
Bursting with style and imagination, "The Incredibles 2" sets a standard that few superhero flicks - animated or live-action - can match.

3/4
Hotel Artemis (2018)
"Hotel Artemis" is neither a sequel nor a remake, but a film of considerable originality. And that makes it a rarity at the multiplex.

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
An adventure that lacks poetry but succeeds as popcorn entertainment.

Deadpool 2 (2018)
The film's greatest asset is Reynolds, who in Deadpool finally found the role of his dreams.

Book Club (2018)
Keaton and Fonda, icons of American cinema, deserve much better material.

3/4
In his affect and attitude, he's refreshingly free of bluster. And it's almost unbelievable that a man of his power and prestige insists on maintaining such a modest lifestyle.

The Rider (2018)
Cinema that's challenging and offbeat is always in danger of being overlooked. But "The Rider" deserves to be seen.

Life of the Party (2018)
McCarthy is always the life of the party, but this film is something of a drag.

Tully (2018)

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
A film that's overlong and overstuffed but somehow avoids being a chore to watch.

Lean on Pete (2018)
"Lean on Pete" demands a different kind of attention from moviegoers. But the rewards are worth it.

I Feel Pretty (2018)
This film is unlikely to impress the Academy, but it'll probably make you feel better about yourself.

Final Portrait (2018)
Working from his own screenplay, Stanley Tucci (best known as an actor) delivers a character study that's low on character development.

Beirut (2018)
Hamm brings a poignant world-weariness to Skiles, and Pike brings to her role a persuasive grittiness.

The Miracle Season (2018)
It's downright depressing to see Oscar winners Hunt and Hurt struggling to make something meaningful out of their superficially written characters.

The Big Lebowski (1998)
I'll just say this: The Big Lebowksi is an excellent movie - and damn funny.

Foxtrot (2018)
Particularly impressive is Ashkenazi, who brings to Michael a soulful but volatile insecurity. It's a hauntingly realized performance.

4/4
Isle of Dogs (2018)
There's so much going on in "Isle of Dogs" that it probably has to be seen at least twice to be properly appreciated. How many films can you say that about?

Thoroughbreds (2018)
Although the film is a bit too schematic in its updating of film noir, it also signals a talent to watch. And Finley elicits fine work from his cast.

Red Sparrow (2018)
"Red Sparrow" clearly aspires to be a spy thriller in the classic tradition - all the elements are in place. It's the execution that's woefully lacking.
