★★ | Undeniably well-made, The Pitt is nonetheless gaudy and shallowly written melodrama.
★★ | After ten years and five seasons, Stranger Things finally comes to a muddled conclusion that is best described as contractually obligated.
★★ | Packed with awful mission design, an always-online campaign mode, nauseating AI slop, and microtransactions everywhere, Black Ops 7 is the nadir for the iconic franchise and a miserable experience all around.
★★ | Hugely ambitious and rife with ideas, Of Ash and Steel is an unpolished and deeply broken throwback to an era most have left behind.
★★ | 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.
★★ | Cartoonish to a fault, Sisu 2 is 90 minutes of Looney Tunes mayhem that overstays its welcome by a half hour.
★★ | Frustratingly slow and overloaded with ideas, Retreat is a fantastically acted thriller that shows much promise from its debut director.
★★ | 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.
★★ | Paul Thomas Anderson's unfocused centrist satire has so little to say it turns into a test of patience for the audience.
★★ | A romantic climate change comedy without a tone or sense of fun, Peak Everything ends up being a dull exercise in end of the world anxiety.
★★ | Matthew McConaughey is fantastic in an otherwise bland and by-the-numbers survival drama.
