    Gilbert
    The insights offered from the almost two-dozen show biz luminaries are not always commonplace, and Gottfried is always an interesting screen presence, even when he’s far removed from his persona.

    Submission
    Tucci is wonderful, but Timlin comes close to eating him up almost as thoroughly as her character does his.

    Love & Bananas
    This film is, in many respects, a plain picture, but also a cleareyed, direct, fat-free one that has something to say and says it affectingly.

    American Sniper
    One of the more tough-minded and effective war pictures of post-American-Century American cinema.

    Uncle Howard
    The movie is a deft sort of dual narrative.

    Milford Graves Full Mantis
    You can get a lot of facts about Mr. Graves and his discography on the internet (and I recommend you do). This movie gives you, well, the man’s heart, and it’s a beautiful one.

    Worst to First: The True Story of Z100 New York
    The movie’s prefab on-screen graphics are just one reason “Worst to First” has such a limp tone overall.

    The Corporation
    Over the course of almost two and a half fascinating hours, they make a cogent, compelling, powerful argument, and they also make a terrific movie.

    Spider-Man: Homecoming
    Marvel movies are not concerned with altering your precious bodily fluids. This one is a slightly better than average example of the species. Watch it in good health.

    Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
    It contains amusing jokes and has an old-fashioned impulse to tug at heart strings.

    Miss Meadows
    The earnestness brings the movie from mildly irritating pastiche status to actively awful, and that is all she wrote.

    Sweet Virginia
    The movie is well put together, enough so that if you’re not entirely tired of its clichés, it might constitute a tolerable entertainment. I’d rather watch “Double Indemnity” for the 15th time.

    Honey Boy
    One could watch Honey Boy musing that it must be nice to have someone finance a movie of your 12-step qualification. That assessment is actually too generous.

    Ocean Waves (1993)
    In its sensitivity and attention to detail, Ocean Waves makes itself into something special, and kind of magical, and so proves very much a Ghibli gem.

    Mr. Roosevelt
    Ms. Wells is appealing onscreen and is a smart writer. She gives Emily some good zingers.

    Fairyland
    This moving film’s sense of hometown pride is subtle but apt.

    The Lookout
    With his directorial debut, screenwriting stalwart Scott Frank concocts a compelling variation on a reliable film noir convention.

    The Square
    This is not a terribly plot-driven movie; indeed, at two hours and twenty minutes it’s rather a ramble.

    Sierra Burgess Is a Loser
    There’s sharp dialogue throughout.

    Legend
    Such a muddle right off the bat.

    Richard Linklater: Dream Is Destiny
    While not an earth-shaker, this movie is an amiable and informative look at a guy who is shaping up to be, yes, one of the major American directors of the last fifty years.

    The Most Beautiful Boy in the World
    Andresen’s determination to rise above misfortune, and his hopes for himself, make this movie less than a total tragedy. But it’s an often shudder-inducing cautionary tale.
