★★ | As uneven and bloated as the first part, Wicked: For Good is twice as long as it needs to and far more boring than a musical of this caliber should be.
★★★ | Mostly fun and handsomely produced, The Running Man suffers from a lack of conviction that robs it of urgency and impact.
★ | Tediuous, tiresome, and unbearably smug. Now You See Me, Now You Don't is a failed magic trick in every conceivable way.
★★★ | Breezy and fun with a magnetic performance from Elle Fanning, Predator: Badlands is a good enough addition to the franchise.
★ | Thoughtlessly mean and cynical, Bugonia is another tiresome Lanthimos film about bad people doing bad things to pointless ends.
★ | A reductive and painfully stilted biopic that hits every cliche imaginable.
★★★ | Unfocused and unhurried, Are We Good? is an intimate but distant portrait of Marc Maron that is just charming enough to captivate.
★★ | Cartoonish to a fault, Sisu 2 is 90 minutes of Looney Tunes mayhem that overstays its welcome by a half hour.
★★★★★ | Smartly directed and featuring one of the best leading performances in any film this year, Good Boy is a fiendishly clever revitalization of the haunted house genre.
★★ | Paul Thomas Anderson's unfocused centrist satire has so little to say it turns into a test of patience for the audience.
★★★ | Neither big nor clever and a bit too long for its own good, Red Sonja is nonetheless a hugely entertaining addition to a starved genre.
★★ | Weapons features brilliant performances and a superlative first act, all let down by a mess of a second half.
