Bacurau (2019) |
Bacurau defies labels and expectations, and works because of it. Each frame shows off two filmmakers so self-assured that they weren't out to please anybody - Film Inquiry

Martin Eden (2019) |
Marcello has crafted a visual delight and Marinelli brilliantly brings a complex character with a captivating arc to life. Martin Eden serves a lot on its plate. Between so many themes, sometimes it can feel like too much at once, but never boring. - Film Inquiry

The Irishman (2019) |
At first, it feels as if [Scorsese] looked back to some of his greatest films and stole bits from each. In the third act, The Irishman then grows beyond anything he's made before and becomes something funnier, more emotional and reflective. - Film Inquiry

The Truth (2019) |
With The Truth, Koreeda has crafted another subtle, yet poignant look at the family structure. It may never reach the highs of Shoplifters, but it's certainly worthy of a place in his catalog. - Film Inquiry

Honey Boy (2019) |
It's on-screen healing. You feel LaBeouf putting his soul into every word he wrote and every line he delivers. - Film Inquiry

How to Build a Girl (2019) |
Feldstein shines as bright as ever under the stage lights, but How To Build A Girl can't quite manage to rise above an average coming-of-age rock n roll fairy tale. - Film Inquiry

Human Capital (2019) |

Monos (2019) |
It's an unflinching descent into chaos in the best way possible. Monos isn't simply a film you watch. It's one you feel with every sense. - Film Inquiry

Cold Case Hammarskjöld (2019) |
Cold Case Hammarskjöld blurs the line between journalism and conspiracy without ever clearly identifying itself as either, an unhealthy place to be considering the world we live in today. - Film Inquiry

Driven (2018) |
There's not a lot obviously wrong with Driven, but it just feels like a cast and crew that is just going through the motions. Such a wild story is told in a disappointingly vanilla manner. - culturevulture.net

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) |
There are plenty of enjoyable moments, but it just never becomes as scary or fresh as you expect. Fun and creepy moments balance out painfully mediocre and cliche threads that bind the stories together. - culturevulture.net

The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) |
It's an impossibly sweet meditation on what it means to be a hero and empower those around you. With a free-spirited adventure story and the most heartwarming performances of the year, The Peanut Butter Falcon soars. - culturevulture.net

Them That Follow (2019) |
Them That Follow captures the essence of snake-handling Pentecostals, but it just doesn't pack the emotional punch needed make the film worthwhile. What could have been feels lost, with a stacked cast wasted on a dreary mood-piece. - culturevulture.net

Luce (2019) |
Luce feels like a rarity. A thriller that succeeds with a relatively small scale. With brilliant performances, it poses questions to its characters and audience that make both feel uncomfortable and question our identities. - Film Inquiry

The Farewell (2019) |
The Farewell finds a nearly impossible balance of being hilarious while being powerful enough to move any audience to tears. If you ever hear someone saying Hollywood can't make great original stories anymore, show them The Farewell. - Film Inquiry

The Lion King (2019) |
The Lion King is a visual masterpiece that honors and builds on the original story, but can't quite find the same depth and emotion. If you were to introduce someone to The Lion King, the 1994 version remains the go-to. - culturevulture.net

Leto (2018) |
Perhaps, such a rebellious force as rock and roll in such a locked down society is interesting enough to make the film work, but the unique and fantasy elements that flourish throughout offer just enough to keep your attention and interest. - Film Inquiry

Toy Story 4 (2019) |
Toy Story 4 is Pixar firing on all cylinders - it's a whole lot of fun and a whole lot of heart. It (potentially) wraps up the franchise in a nice bow and gives our old friends the final character arcs they so deserve. - culturevulture.net
