★★★★ | Wheatley and his cast are having fun, and sometimes the audience is, too.
★★★ | 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.
★★★★★ | Superbly written and directed, Wake Up Dead Man is another rich feature from one of America's best modern filmmakers.
★★★★★ | Getting the most of out its confined location, this debut feature humanizes a nightmarish event with stark immediacy and horror.
★★ | Frustratingly slow and overloaded with ideas, Retreat is a fantastically acted thriller that shows much promise from its debut director.
★★★ | Glacially paced, but oddly moving, 100 Sunset is a promising first feature from a talented filmmaker.
★★★★ | Elevated by brilliant performances from McKellen and Coel, The Christophers is a delightful little drama well worth visiting.
★★★★ | Han So-hee and Jun Jong-seo impress in this smart and thrilling neo noir from newcomer filmmaker Lee Hwan.
