★★★★★ | Eloquently written and superbly performed, Foreigner announces the arrival of a brilliant new talent.
★★ | Weapons features brilliant performances and a superlative first act, all let down by a mess of a second half.
★★★★★ | Smartly written and packed with fantastic performances, Burning is a horror tour de force everyone should seek out.
★★ | Delightfully silly and with great performances, Honeko Akabane's Bodyguards is sadly overstuffed and undercooked.
★★★★ | Mixing found footage with cosmic horror and broad satire, Buffet Infinity is a deceptively smart satire on a society gone rogue.
★★★★ | An exquisitely crafted adult fairy tale that leaves the viewer shaken to their core.
★★★ | The Fantastic Four is a perfectly fine sci-fi adventure that suffers from Marvel's inability to let the characters do anything else except advertise the next movie in the pipeline.
★★★★ | Smartly directed with old-school thrills, Oddity is a masterclass in sustained suspense.
★★★★★ | Bravely redefining the epic hero for the modern era, James Gunn reinvents Superman by reminding us of the politics and aspirational qualities of The Man of Steel.
★★★ | Danny Boyle's return to his beloved horror vision is a big swing that mostly connects, even if it's uncertain what it wants to say.
★★ | A handsome production that is devoid of soul and passion, like a feature length advertisement for a brand that doesn't need it.
★★★ | How to Train Your Dragon is the same film in live-action as it was in its animated form, yet somehow lesser, as well.
