    A Serbian Documentary
    It’s a totally pointless pursuit that has no interest in interrogating why A Serbian Film came into existence, only how. An 80-minute behind-the-scenes promotional featurette for a film that, even after an entire documentary devoted to defending its existence, still feels completely meaningless.

    The Little Mermaid
    With a lack of any undersea horror action, off-kilter characterization punctuated by poor acting, and a script that is taking itself way more seriously than it has any right to, there’s no enjoyment to be taken from this shameless attempt to capitalize on a lucrative IP.

    Uglies
    What was once considered revolutionary or sharp commentary is now so passé and outdated that it makes the film feel like an ancient relic — a bad one.

    Parthenope
    Parthenope is a decades-spanning slice-of-life movie that has no interest in diving into the complexities of its protagonist.

    Back to Black
    The creatively (and morally) bankrupt and downright offensive biopic glosses over Amy Winehouse’s complicated, and ultimately, tragic life to shine a more flattering light on her father and ex-husband, distorting the real-life events in her life to tell its own narrative.

    Night Swim
    Night Swim is a missed opportunity of epic proportions, and it’s yet another in a streak of Blumhouse projects failing to bring anything new to the horror genre.

    The Pope's Exorcist
    The film tries to pack in so much subplot and religious context that it leaves no time to build up a scare properly. The only people who would actually be scared by this movie are about five years too young to legally see it.

    Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical
    The 2022 Matilda takes the narrative and world of a child and puts it on an adult’s terms. It completely misunderstands why so many children around the world adore these stories - because they were written for them and not their parents. Stick to the original 1996 movie folks, don’t be the boring witch.

    Morbius
    The central problem of Morbius is a lazy and uninspiring script. No weight or depth is given to any character. There’s little humor and when it tries to make a tongue-in-cheek joke, it fails miserably.
