Kinds of Kindness
Lanthimos can be hit or miss; when he's on, we get gems like The Favourite and Poor Things, but his more bizarre creations can lose the audience's interest.
A Quiet Place: Day One
As the third movie in a franchise, it brings something new, but how often can we watch the deafening silence before it gets old?
Thelma
Thelma balances humor and vulnerability, offering an insightful view of senior struggles. Margolin's direction blends honesty and well-placed humor seamlessly.
The Exorcism
Russell Crowe delivers a powerful performance in The Exorcism, expertly leading a stellar cast through a chilling exploration of hidden demons and past traumas.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die
The humor-to-action ratio seems to be askew making Bad Boys: Ride or Die enjoyable and on the one hand yet possibly alienating its core audience who loved the action in the first two films.
The First Omen
The First Omen's Nell Tiger Free is well cast as Margaret. She plays the role well and her acting during her “pregnancy” and birth scenes is excellent.
Young Woman and the Sea
Young Woman and the Sea, based on real events, keeps you engaged with Rønning's delivery, Ridley's acting, and Warner's score, making it a must-watch.
The Garfield Movie
Mark Dindal's direction brings wit and heart to The Garfield Movie, making it a family-friendly hit.
