★★★ | 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.
★ | Overlong, poorly paced, and depressingly unfunny, New Years Rev is a dismal product pretending to be punk.
★★ | A fascinating blend of genres and ideas, & Sons features great performances in a film that never comes together satisfyingly.
★★ | Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst are charming in an otherwise off-putting celebration of a petty criminal.
★★★★★ | 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.
★★★★ | Led by a revelatory performance by Vince Vaughn, Easy's Waltz is a classy and old-school drama about losers seeking the limelight.
★★★★★ | A masterpiece of gentle melancholy that astutely and with great poignancy observes the enormity of time.
★★ | A gorgeously presented, but ultimately hollow and tragic celebration of an idea, not a person.
★★★ | Deftly directed and with great performances, Yeon Sang-ho's deeply distressing drama isn't easy viewing, but it is worth the effort.
★★ | Paul Thomas Anderson's unfocused centrist satire has so little to say it turns into a test of patience for the audience.
