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.

Jumanji: The Next Level
The whole team returns for the sequel and their chemistry is even better than the first time. Johnson does a great De Vito impression and he and Hart makes a great duo.
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.
The Aeronauts
Redmayne and Jones are individually strong in their performances, but together they are unstoppable.
Where'd You Go, Bernadette
Blanchette brings Bernadette to life with a quirky, snarky ambivalence that adds texture to the character.
Queen & Slim
While Queen & Slim is a raw and shocking commentary on our society these days, I am not sure it will click with general audiences.
Knives Out
With a star-studded cast and written and directed by filmmaker, Rian Johnson, Knives Out should have been a no brainer hit.
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.
