EDIT
“But overall, Saturday Night is quite enjoyable—an excellent example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.” –

Sayen (2023)
3/5
EDIT
“In Sayen, Witt combines the eco-thriller with a story that pays tribute to the Mapuche people who have lived in oppressive conditions for centuries. ” –

The Conference (2023)

2/5
EDIT
“We get it. Capitalism and corporate greed are terrifying. No question about that, so why not focus on the satirical aspects exclusively?” –

Slotherhouse (2023)
64%
2/5
EDIT
“Yet at a little over 90 minutes long, the film somehow outstays its welcome as the hilarious premise devolves into a series of scenes where we see young women being clawed to their death by the furry menace.” –

The Mill (2023)
46%
2/5
EDIT
“But the film's message becomes diluted and harrowing to absorb by the fact we're watching a Black man being tortured for being too good at what he does. ” –

Do Not Disturb (2023)
3/5
EDIT
“Still, the film's shift from a dark comedy into a hopeless drama might be too much for viewers still reeling from the effects of a pandemic that's still ongoing.

Friday Night Plan (2023)

2/5
EDIT
“At almost two hours long, the film could have done with some trimming, especially scenes involving overlong pranks that aren't as funny or interesting as they think. ” –

3/5
EDIT
“Director Yûichi Fukuda does a wonderful job of not merely revising the fairy tales, but leading us to rethink the perspectives from which these characters can be seen. ” –

Rosa Peral’s Tapes (2023)
4/5
EDIT
“Pithy and straightforward, yet never sensationalist, this 80-minute wonder is designed for true crime fans who will most likely spend hours obsessed about what really happened in the case.” –

Radhe Shyam (2022)
20%
2/5
EDIT
“Unfortunately the mawkish melodrama and the clichéd star-crossed lovers theme is boring, with neither the characters nor the story having much depth. ” –

Laal Singh Chaddha (2022)
69%
4/5
EDIT
“It's quite the gender role reversal from what usually plays out in most Indian households every day. To watch this man be soft and vulnerable -- far removed from the ideas of toxic masculinity -- is a thing of beauty. ” –

Outlast (2023)
3/5
EDIT
“The show's stunning but dangerous setting offers a different kind of drama. Even players with exceptional survival skills crumble under the harsh conditions, and predicting who will or won't make it keeps the suspense high.” –

Going All the Way (1997)
65%
2/5
EDIT
“The basic premise that the vibrant life-loving Gunner would enjoy the company of Sonny is a non-starter and since the entire story hangs on that bond, little that follows really works. ” –

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie (2021)
100%
4/5
EDIT
“The sailor scouts struggles with insecurities and the truth of their deepest desires make them well-rounded and relatable. Even the villains get some complexity with "twist reveal" backstories. ” –

The Promised Neverland (2020)
4/5
EDIT
“It's hard to watch children face such intense peril, but it's easy to root for the young characters who face challenges with wit and strength.” –

4/5
EDIT
“The subject of feminism is a juicy subject to pick apart here, and in retrospect, the audience is left with some questions. ” –

Staying Alive (1983)

1/5
EDIT
“Directed by Sylvester Stallone (who even has a cringeworthy cameo), you can spot the crumbs of a Rocky movie that just don't belong.” –

The General's Daughter (1999)
22%
2/5
EDIT
“The General's Daughter's attempt to present an expose of sexism in the military is clumsy at best and as subtle as a chainsaw.

EDIT
“The story handles sensitive topics with care, and the characters' life choices for the future are all portrayed positively – even when that means not going to college or taking nontraditional career paths. ” –

Internal Affairs (1990)

3/5
EDIT
“You would hope today's lens would be more scrupulous on portrayals of women and people of color, and more original in its stylistic choices, which now look like a roll call of cliches.” –

Victory (1981)
70%
3/5
EDIT
“But in terms of pure nostalgia and its sense of fun, Victory has aged surprisingly well as a boys' own adventure played out by the alpha males of its day.” –

“Instead here lies the rare relish of seeing bonafide comedy legends Murphy, in his first directing jaunt -- he also wrote it -- and Prior play father and son.” –
