    If Beale Street Could Talk
    Jenkins captures the humor, verve, and considerable complexity of the prose.

    Widows
    Widows is definitely a good film and one that often has greatness in its grasp. But it often feels like, at some point in the process, McQueen needed to decide if he was making wallpaper or art.

    Beautiful Boy
    By working in such a deliberately muted key, the emotional payoffs we’re conditioned to require from a story like this never quite arrive, and Van Groeningen never finds a workable substitute for them.

    Theater of Thought
    Herzog’s latest is one of his weakest. Part of the problem, shockingly, is in the filmmaking; there are basic, unfortunate amateur missteps throughout.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 91 Jason Bailey
    California Split
    California Split keenly and perceptively captures how someone you meet in a chance encounter can become a best friend (at least for a while) in a few short hours.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 83 Jason Bailey
    Dead & Buried
    Elegantly constructed, wittily executed, delightfully ruthless, and scary as hell.
