Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
Pfeiffer, as usual, is magnificently portraying the not so innocent and kind-hearted queen.

The Lighthouse
Pattinson and Dafoe are well matched and give outstanding performances. They play off each other like dueling pianos in a quest for dominance.
Rambo: Last Blood
Stallone once again plays Rambo as stoic and introverted but also still physically and mentally sharp.
Ad Astra
Ad Astra is one of Pitt’s best performances to date as he compartmentalizes Roy’s feelings in order to play the part of the dutiful, calm, clear-headed soldier.
Hustlers
Lopez is the real gem, stealing every moment she is on screen. She is powerful and demands attention whether she is speaking or dancing.
Ready or Not
Ready or Not combines humor and murder to create a deliciously wonderful film and brought a surprise hit with critical acclaim to movie theaters this summer.
Where'd You Go, Bernadette
Blanchette brings Bernadette to life with a quirky, snarky ambivalence that adds texture to the character.
Blinded by the Light
Kalra is terrific in his role as the introverted, misunderstood son who blossoms under his newfound voice in the form of Springsteen's lyrics.
