    Pray Away
    Stolakis presents the facts in a studied but engaging manner. The testimonies from her subjects are genuine and heartfelt, especially as they continue to struggle with their faith in light of what is seen as God’s “failings” in their lives.

    Mark, Mary & Some Other People
    As a comedy, Mark, Mary & Some Other People keeps the laughs light and the story grounded.

    Sweet Thing
    Not since The Florida Project have I felt this emotional about a story of children forced to grow up way too fast.

    In the Heights
    As a movie, I thought Jon M. Chu did an incredible job bringing In The Heights to cinematic life. There’s nothing wrong with the actual production or cast. It’s all great, but my issue is with the source material, specifically the songs.

    Holler
    Writer/director Nicole Riegel brings such richness to all of her characters that they feel authentic, garnering empathy.

    Under the Stadium Lights
    Under The Stadium Lights stands out because of its two veteran actors in Milo Gibson and Laurence Fishburne.

    Cruella
    This version stands on its own, problems and all, as an interesting tale of an anti-hero… or is it about a tragic villain?

    Wrath of Man
    It might be a typical Guy Ritchie film and loaded with every cliché in the book, but it’s still fun.

    American Fighter
    George Kosturos carries American Fighter. His acting is above average, and his fighting makes him look like this kid look believable. The bouts never feel choreographed or staged for the camera.

    The Paper Tigers
    The Paper Tigers presents a fresh take on an old genre.

    Making Sense
    Gregory Bayne’s Making Sense puts the spotlight on a fantastic cast with disabilities and tells a story about disabilities that could only be told as science fiction.

    Framed
    Framed may not be the thriller you want, but it’s a fine drama and morality play.
    • 22 Metascore

    Vanquish
    Ultimately, Vanquish falls into the cliché of typical action films, where the focus is on the action, and the story is a way to string the action together

    I'm Not in Love
    I’m Not In Love is competently made. Despite the screenwriting-as-therapy formula, it’s entertaining and engaging to watch.

    Mortal Kombat
    Mortal Kombat is a pretty good representation of the video game. It’s all action and not much else, and normally, I do want more from my movies. But here, that is precisely the point, and I’m okay with that!

    Happily
    The only reason to see this film is if you’re a fan of any of the actors. Everyone is good, but ultimately, the story will let you down.

    Monday
    Monday succeeds in large part to Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough’s performances.

    Once Upon a River
    A far as coming-of-age stories go, Once Upon a River is a very sweet story. There’s not a lot of fluff, but there is a lot of heart in a story based on a novel and feels in a way like a novel.

    War Path
    War Path is a good movie with potential. It does a lot with its budget and resources and is worth a watch for any fan of independent filmmaking.

    HAM: A Musical Memoir
    Diving into Sam Harris’ life was fun, and you will have fun too… unless you hate musicals.

    WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn
    It’s a story of very flawed people who followed the pied piper to a new world that doesn’t exist.

    Boys vs. Girls
    The best laughs of Boys vs Girls come at the end, so be patient, and you’ll have fun.

    Donny's Bar Mitzvah
    Donny’s Bar Mitzvah just works from start to finish.

    Own the Room
    Own The Room is fun, hopeful, and inspiring to any future entrepreneur and a must-watch.

    A compelling documentary.

    Raya and the Last Dragon
    Not only is it gorgeous, but an excellent primer for the young set into South Asian culture.

    Mafia Inc
    This is must-see mafia viewing.

    100 Days to Live
    Though I don’t think 100 Days to Live is necessarily a PSA on suicide prevention, it’s a damn good thriller. I’m still thinking about the morality of that ending even now.
    • 73 Metascore

    The World to Come
    There’s nothing new and nothing we haven’t seen, which means every single moment and plot twist is familiar and predictable.

    Together Together
    I love Together Together because it’s a sweet and straightforward story surrounding surrogacy. It’s void of Hollywood dramatics and firmly places Ed Helms into that older best friend category on screen.
