    Masters of the Universe
    OK, it’s all about cartoon emotions, yawningly obvious culture-clashing, hectic space swashbuckling and, ultimately, selling toys. Yet, Gerwig managed to navigate her way through the Barbie plastic mythology silliness to make potent statements about female solidarity and self-fulfilment. Nothing so inspired is forthcoming here, and considering the brilliance and complexity of Knight’s animated debut feature, 2016’s Kubo and the Two Strings, that’s a major disappointment.

    The Conjuring: Last Rites
    It has been a case of diminishing returns regarding the nine-movie nerve-jangling blockbuster juggernaut and while Last Rites hardly matches the pioneering nightmare spirit of the original film, it churns the cliché chills with a pleasing confidence.

    Youth
    Tom Shoval, who eschews stylistic flourishes in order to focus on character, leaves the film's heavy lifting to the actors and his own screenplay.

    The Grand Seduction
    Like many films that contrast the simplicity of a rural community against the confusion of city life, The Grand Seduction exhibits a patriarchal, xenophobic attitude.

    Bad Johnson
    Huck Botko's film asks us to laugh at, even revel in, the misadventures of womanizing men, even as it condemns them for their behavior.

    Go Down Death
    The end result is a bit like a beautiful diorama, in which the people share a common purpose with the furniture: to fill space and look nice.

    3 Days to Kill
    McG may strip down his approach and serve up a variety of slick, well-paced shoot-outs and car chases, but his technical skill can't quite overcome the story's lazy sense of humor and incomprehensible account of international espionage.
