Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda (2018)
But the primary appeal of "Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda" comes from following this humble, quiet man as he reminisces, composes, and contemplates nature.

Always authentic, never condescending in its tone, this world unfolds through exceptional performances.

Searching (2018)
As David, John Cho handles it all entirely convincingly, alternating between concerned and infuriated, bobbing and weaving with the demands of detective Vick, a fine Debra Messing.

Operation Finale (2018)
"Operation Finale" moves deliberately and darkly.

Christopher Robin (2018)
Not colorful or splashy, the cinematography keeps the magical world front and center.

The litany becomes repetitive and, frankly, quite dull even if mostly truthful.

Never Goin' Back (2018)
That you have no trouble believing the characters' actions may say something about the actresses' abilities. Neither, however, do you care.

Papillon (2018)
Paraphrasing the great director John Huston, it is folly to remake great films; only good stories badly made should be tackled.

Puzzle (2018)
"Puzzle," although slow, is a beautiful and significant puzzle of its own.

Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
This attention to the wealth of the 1% is just conspicuous consumption of another sort, and it ain't pretty or funny.

The Happytime Murders (2018)
Just make sure, before you go, that you're in the right mood; otherwise, you might think "The Happytime Murders" is just gross.

Lizzie (2018)
Chloë Sevigny does excellent work as Lizzie, whether bold or abashed. Kristen Stewart balances her as Bridget.

River to the Heart (2017)

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)
The music is what matters, of course and ABBA does not disappoint nor does the choreography of cartwheels through orchards.

Blindspotting (2018)
The stars, Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal, engineer their roles toward complexity, never settling for the simple.

Big Sonia (2017)

Strangers on the Earth (2018)
On-camera observations offer few surprising insights, though the exploration is certainly admirable.

American Animals (2018)
"American Animals" twists and turns conventional heist movie formulas into a riotous blend, thereby delivering a wildly creative, tragicomic remix.

Make no mistake, the ugliness of violence and greed comes through a dark, savage story with an incredibly brutal conclusion.

Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018)
It is wonderfully uplifting in those increasingly rare instances when we learn that a dear television star is, in fact, the persona he projects.

Ocean's 8 (2018)
The script is leaden.

Hotel Artemis (2018)
"Hotel Artemis" is witty and scary and demanding and loud. Blessedly, it's barely 90 minutes long so the fitting violence is tolerable.

"I Gotta Be Me" pays homage to a consummate entertainer, who suffered greatly for being black and who chose to be Jewish to suffer more.

Neta Riskin and Golshifteh Farahani play the two women in a wide range of emotions as they speak the words of Eran Riklis' compassionate and realistic screenplay.

It purports to be a comedy, but it's a comedy of the sitcom strain with the emphasis on "strain."

On Chesil Beach (2018)
"On Chesil Beach" appeals to the psychoanalytical perhaps more than to the sexual or musical, but they're all there for the taking.
