Its heartwarming and clear-eyed approach to first love and the challenges of coming-of-age distinguishes it from its contemporaries. Add it to your queue.

Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
It's simply great fun, a winsome romantic comedy and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post may not hit as hard as it should. But it at least suggests that the only real losers in life are those who presume to read God's mind.

Christopher Robin (2018)

The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018)
The Spy Who Dumped Me isn't quite sure what it wants to be, though that's not always the worst thing: You might call it an ambitious hybrid.

Cruise is an unhinged stickman, outrunning the devil, the aging process, time itself. He will outrun us all.

Blindspotting (2018)
Blindspotting is entertaining, but it also packs an emotional punch.

Skyscraper (2018)
Of course, in real life, Johnson doesn't really leap from cranes into burning buildings. But in the unapologetically absurd Skyscraper, boy, does he make you believe he could.

Sorry to Bother You (2018)
If you had to boil the unruly inventiveness of Sorry to Bother You down to one sentence, it could be this: Doing the right thing always involves risk. Get ready.

Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)
If Ant-Man and the Wasp is hard to love, it's also hard to actively dislike.

Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)

Leave No Trace (2018)
Leave No Trace is a gorgeous story about adolescence, about basic human kindness, about separation and reconciliation, about the limits of what parents can teach their kids.

Too Big to Fail (2011)
HBO's rendition of the Wall Street meltdown still manages to feel fresh, entertaining, and even educational. But does it get to the point?

The King (2018)
Perceptive, probing and ultimately devastating, The King is for anyone who cares about where this country has been and where it's headed.

Fallen Kingdom is so committed to thunderous spectacle that it fails to capture the poetry of these beasts in all their spiky, scaly, long-necked wonder. They deserve better.

Hearts Beat Loud (2018)
Haley's films are things we can reach toward-there's an intimacy and candor about them that feels welcoming.

Superfly (2018)
The new Superfly isn't a great work of artistry or of cheap thrills - it's so in between it's practically bourgeois - but in the swagger department, it just squeaks by.

Recount (2008)
If you have the slightest interest in politics and movie treatments thereof, I recommend it.

Downhill Racer (1969)
A modest effort but a good one. It may be the first film in history that starts at the top, goes steadily downhill, and still stays interesting along the way.

First Reformed (2018)
Schrader...has made a fine existential-crisis movie. And for all its serious intent, it isn't torture to watch.

BlacKkKlansman (2018)
This is an angry film as well as a hugely entertaining one, and Lee has complete control over its shifting tone, minute by minute.
Posted May 15, 2018

Summer (Leto) (2018)
Even if Leto doesn't trumpet any obvious political agenda, it still feels dangerous, like a sidelong glance that shoots daggers.

Three Faces (2018)
Although 3 Faces is far from Panahi's best work, it's still a solid primer on how much a skilled filmmaker can achieve with very few resources.

Cold War (Zimna wojna) (2018)
It deftly walks the line between appropriately somber and great, sophisticated fun.

Disjointed and direct, exhilarating and soporific, cerebral and squirrelly: The Image Book is lots of contradictory things at once.

Fahrenheit 451 (2018)
This Fahrenheit 451 too often feels like an emojified version of its source material, cutting off anything more complex than an easy picture.
Posted May 14, 2018

Feels meandering and indistinct.

A multifaceted, bittersweet delight.

Disobedience (2018)
Cuts deeper than your standard forbidden-love story, largely because the actors are so attuned to their characters' anguish.

Wholly Moses! (1980)
There are a couple of droll sight gags, but nothing can redeem Wholly Moses! from its destiny of eternal mirthlessness.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
There's no pacing in Avengers: Infinity War. It's all sensation and no pulse. Everything is big, all of the time.

Chappaquiddick (2018)
Clarke makes us feel plenty of things we'd rather not. His eyes are shadowed with profound decency one minute, and hollowed out in desperate calculation the next.

You Were Never Really Here (2018)
You Were Never Really Here is a demanding film, but it's not a reckless one. To watch it is to see a rigorous and intensely creative filmmaker at work.

Barefoot in the Park (1967)
Barefoot in the Park is one of the few plays to be reincarnated on-screen while playing on the Broadway stage. Happily, it loses little in transition.

Isle of Dogs (2018)
Isle of Dogs ... buckles under the weight of its own finicky whimsy.

Love, Simon (2018)
Kids like Simon, in 2018, already have a good shot of fitting in. They don't need this movie.

90th Academy Awards (2018)
No show can be apolitical. The Oscars as a ceremony basically tried to be, but its performers, presenters, and winners rejected it, and that's to their credit.

Casbah (1948)
The older versions were slicker moviemaking but took this likable trash more seriously than it is worth. The new version has just about the right easygoing attitude.
