    The Invisible Man
    Working from his own tight script, Whannell demonstrates an admirable ability to place the wet-yourself shocks where you least expect them. Benjamin Wallfisch’s insidious score complements later action, but the director is prepared to play out the opening conflicts with no music whatsoever. Great thought has gone into the architecture of this ingenious structure

    Emma.
    There are some good ideas here. The overpowering prettiness is welcome in the windy months. But the characters are somewhat lost in a busy rush to find some new angle (any new angle) on a much-adapted text.

    Sonic the Hedgehog
    It’s not quite as bad as the awful trailer threatened. Just dull, bland and pointless.

    A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
    This tribute feels plausible. It feels touching. But it also feels a bit otherworldly. All those adjectives are appropriate for another tremendous film from one of our era’s great young directors.

    Queen & Slim
    Some of the stylistic flourishes are delightful. Others work too hard for their own good.

    The Turning
    The movie doesn’t quite stop mid-sentence, but it comes as close as any film I’ve seen. That can’t be it. Can it? ... A total waste of time.
