3/4 | 51% | Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) |
There's no way it could please every fan and it most certainly will not. But I think Abrams did the best he could with a seemingly insurmountable task. - St. Paul Pioneer Press

2.5/4 | 83% | Scandalous: The Untold Story of the National Enquirer (2019) |
It's well made and entertaining, but it's also a celebration of unethical journalism that feels shallow in the end. - St. Paul Pioneer Press

2/4 | 68% | Joker (2019) |
The social commentary of "Joker" is laughably one-dimensional and Phoenix's Fleck isn't that scary. Really, he's more sad than anything. - St. Paul Pioneer Press

2.5/4 | 90% | Shazam! (2019) |
While the humor is definitely broad, "Shazam!" still offers some terrific laughs. Most of the time, it's bright and fun and good-natured. - St. Paul Pioneer Press

1.5/4 | 33% | Mapplethorpe (2019) |
"Mapplethorpe" paints a dark, depressing picture of the tortured artist but does little to answer any questions about his motivations. - St. Paul Pioneer Press
