Acute Misfortune (2019)
An artist biopic that swaggeringly busts the limitations of the well-worn subgenre, Acute Misfortune is one of the year's most striking and accomplished directorial debuts.

Enter the Dragon (1973)
A whoop-and-holler entertainment, which is to say that it's a lavish, corny action movie, not boring for a second and as outrageously wry as it is visually appealing.

Sway (2014)
Though not as aesthetically accomplished as its models, it does effectively depict a mindset afflicting many in this age of easy mobility.

Breaking & Exiting (2018)
It's as unconvincing as big-screen romances get, which is saying something.

Mile 22 (2018)
There's not an ounce of flab here, nothing inessential to the urgent goal of getting the key characters where they're going before the clock expires.

Luis and The Aliens (2018)
9
The leads all take this as seriously as possible, and Lennon goes the extra mile by investing scenes with Edgar's parents with believable emotional baggage.

Dr. Brinks & Dr. Brinks (2018)
So understated in both its dramatic and comedic aspects that it fails to make any real impression whatsoever, Dr. Brinks & Dr. Brinks demonstrates little reason for being.

Do You Trust this Computer? (2018)
Though it shows some strain in containing the topic's inherent sprawl, the doc is more thoughtful than some of its predecessors...

Celeste (2018)
As an old-fashioned star vehicle for Mitchell, Celeste passes muster, with few of her (human) co-stars making much impact in her slender but imposing shadow...

Down a Dark Hall (2018)
Its elegant subtlety feels refreshing in this era of over-the-top horror films.
Posted Aug 15, 2018
14
Alpha (2018)
Alpha is always generous to its namesake, serious about being a buddy film and respectful of the impact this imagined encounter will have on the history of two species.

A Whale of a Tale (2018)
16
A confounding and deeply unfunny comedy that thoroughly embodies the very qualities it intends to satirize.

Red Dawn (1984)
It packs plenty of rabble-rousing ammunition, but its sloppy execution is unlikely to win any merit badges for marksmanship.
Posted Aug 14, 2018
18
Too Late to Die Young (2018)
A lovingly textured addition to the coming-of-age genre.

The Guest (L'ospite) (2018)
20
A Land Imagined (2018)
A film that often feels derivative in terms of its style and that doesn't have the storytelling goods to let all these different influences coalesce coherently.

21
Slender Man (2018)
These competent actresses deserve actual characters to play, but Birke's screenplay is as devoid of personality as the faceless cipher stalking its heroes.

The Swan (Svanurinn) (2018)

Pretty Bad Actress (2018)
Working some pretty well-covered ground with neither marquee value nor wit to attract attention...

The Package (2018)
26
Hope Springs Eternal (2018)
The appealing Mia Rose Frampton makes it work.
Posted Aug 9, 2018
27
Hotel by the River (2018)
A portrait of two souls coming to a reckoning - one with encroaching death, the other, in a less developed story, with life after a relationship.
Posted Aug 9, 2018
28
Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
A thoroughly captivating exploration of the rarefied question of whether true love can conquer head-spinning wealth.
Posted Aug 8, 2018

Elizabeth Harvest (2018)
The main problem is that the storyline becomes so convoluted that it doesn't live up to the intriguing setup.
Posted Aug 8, 2018

There's a sense of "more" to The Last 49 Days that doesn't really do it any service.

The Meg (2018)
32
La Once (2014)
Tea Time is relatively "epic" in chronological scope, if such a term can sensibly be applied to such an intimate affair.

Death Becomes Her (1992)
34
The Driver (1978)
While we can readily identify these characters, we can't identify with them simply because Hill never bothers to tell us what makes them tick.

Dog Days (2018)
There's nothing remotely unpredictable about anything that occurs.

Hooper (1978)

Purple Rain (1984)
Even those who aren't Prince fans are likely to be captivated by its energy, enamored with its simple, often poignant storyline.

While there is quite a lot of funny material overall, on the whole, too much of it feels repetitive.

Ray & Liz (2018)
An intensely observed narrative feature that draws deeply from Billingham's previous work.

Gavagai (2018)
A challenging but rewarding journey.

Like Father (2018)
By the time the main characters deliver an exuberant full-length karaoke rendition of Styx's "Come Sail Away," a norovirus seems a desirable alternative.

Roux struggles to deliver much more than the basics.

Christopher Robin (2018)
Christopher's lengthy two-hander scenes with Pooh quickly wear out their welcome; what at first is agreeably amusing shortly becomes grating, then just tedious.

Cocote (2018)
46
Devil's Cove (2018)
This sleazy, inept rip-off of Thelma and Louise is so technically amateurish that Ed Wood, Jr. would probably be its biggest fan were he still alive.

Milla (2018)
Something about Milla's ordinariness makes her worth getting to know.
