★★★ | Winter Burrow is beautiful and wonderfully written adventure brought down by obtuse and frustrating design choices.
★★★ | Mostly fun and handsomely produced, The Running Man suffers from a lack of conviction that robs it of urgency and impact.
★★★★★ | The OnePlus 15 is one of the best phones of the year and the flagship to beat when it comes to battery life.
★★★★★ | Smartly designed, impeccably produced, and tremendously enjoyable, Anno 117 is one of the best games in its genre this year.
★ | Tediuous, tiresome, and unbearably smug. Now You See Me, Now You Don't is a failed magic trick in every conceivable way.
★★★★ | Often sublime but mostly simply fine, The Outer Worlds 2 is a good enough game that could be so much more.
★★★★ | The best kind of horror film: Horrifying, gross, and uncomfortably funny.
★★★★ | Michael Shannon and Matthew MacFadyen impress in this very fictionalized story that skewers American exceptionalism.
★★★★★ | Superbly written and directed, Keep Quiet is a brilliant showcase for the incomparable Lou Diamond Phillips, who delivers one of the best performances of the year.
★★★★ | Chaotic and in deeply bad taste, Flush is a bleakly funny nightmare of absurd proportions.
★★★★ | Wheatley and his cast are having fun, and sometimes the audience is, too.
