	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Review
3/4	64%	Child's Play (2019)	While Child's Play is definitely new-and-improved, I'm not sure if audiences are ready for layered, psychological Chucky. Perhaps he needs his own prestige cable series. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 20, 2019
4/4	97%	Booksmart (2019)	Booksmart is a love letter for any young woman who has ever stayed home on a Friday night to watch a Ken Burns documentary. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted May 24, 2019
2.5/4	35%	Poms (2019)	Desperately wanting to look and feel like Something's Gotta Give, it settles for a septuagenarian Lifetime aesthetic. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted May 8, 2019
0/4	18%	Hellboy (2019)	Watching Hellboy is my new personal idea of hell. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 12, 2019
2.5/4	57%	Pet Sematary (2019)	Hidden within the deep recesses of Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmye's not-that-scary movie is a really compelling film about death, unfortunately they're tasked with a bland, way too literal script to be able to make it. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 5, 2019
3/4	76%	Hotel Mumbai (2019)	An all-out assault on the senses, Hotel Mumbai will stay with you, though it's hard to watch. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 28, 2019
2/4	27%	The Aftermath (2019)	Unfortunately, a weak screenplay co-written by Anna Waterhouse and Joe Shrapnel (what a pen name) drags everything down as the film takes a page from every illicit historical romance in history. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 21, 2019
3.5/4	100%	Invisible Essence: The Little Prince (2018)	There's a compelling mystery at the core of Invisible Essence: The Little Prince. But more than anything, it will inspire you to pick up that dog-eared copy of the novella you've had since childhood. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 7, 2019
4/4	100%	What Walaa Wants (2018)	The film is ultimately a redemptive story, but one that's been finely crafted and plainly told. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 28, 2019
2/4	69%	Isn't It Romantic (2019)	Isn't It Romantic barely gives its commanding star a plot, let alone a character arc. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 13, 2019
3.5/4	89%	The Kid Who Would Be King (2019)	There are times when one must simply quote Weird Al: The Kid Who Would Be King gets medieval on our heinies. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 18, 2019
3/4	46%	Second Act (2018)	The film feels as finely tailored to J. Lo as the booty-enhancing pencil skirts she wears throughout the movie: Second Act's Maya from Queens is our Jenny from the Block. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 21, 2018
4/4	100%	They Shall Not Grow Old (2019)	A powerful tribute to every veteran and one of the most empathetic portraits of war ever created. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 21, 2018
	15%	Robin Hood (2018)	Hey ... it's almost as if they're stealing our money and selling it right back to us by way of another thoughtless capitalistic Robin Hood remount. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 25, 2018
	81%	Instant Family (2018)	Instant Family has its heart in the right place within a genre that has set the bar low. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 18, 2018
3.5/4	60%	Octavio Is Dead (2018)	A love story in which the haunting complexities of sexuality and gender are treated with cinematic urgency. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 22, 2018
1/4	38%	Backstabbing for Beginners (2018)	Whatever potential was evident in Soussan's source material is wasted on empty clichés and spoiler-alert casting. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted May 4, 2018
4/4	97%	The Rider (2018)	Jandreau, acting opposite his real-life family members and friends, disappears into a role largely based on his own experiences, oozing empathy from his pores. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 27, 2018
3.5/4	92%	Love, Simon (2018)	As a consumer, it is simply your responsibility to see it, just so that many more Love, Simons can be made. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 15, 2018
2.5/4	40%	Nostalgia (2018)	Only a few of the characters are well-developed enough to sustain the movie's interest, while the rest speak in obscure, poetic dialogue that repeats the central thesis ad nauseam. - Globe and Mail EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 2, 2018
