Nobody
I think this is an instant classic, a film that comes out of nowhere and propels a Nobody to Somebody stature.

The Marksman
This is one of those films that will be out of your memory the second you leave the theater. Wait for it to hit TV.

Promising Young Woman
Promising Young Woman shares great visual moments and cruel actions with dark comedy to paint the picture of a woman both in control and out of control at the same time.

News of The World
This is a good film in the mould of the traditional gritty Western. I hadn’t realized how much I’d been missing them, “News of the World” reminded me.

The Last Vermeer
The Last Vermeer is well worth your viewing time. It’s a little slow getting started, but once it gets going, it’s one surprise after another.

Freaky
FREAKY is well-crafted, but not a particularly scary or funny film. However, if you like Slasher movies, you’ll probably enjoy this tongue-in-cheek one.

You Should Have Left
You Should Have Left is a good Horror film, with a great cast and some really good scares. The film is splendidly crafted, delightfully entangled, and an excellent film for a rainy night.

The High Note
The High Note is a musical treat, with a lot of easy-going soul to it. I think you might just fall in love with this one. Check it out.

Bad Boys For Life
If you just sit back and take Bad Boys For Life for what it is, a good action-comedy sequel, you’ll find it one big exciting ride.
