    Downton Abbey
    Mr. Fellowes, being something of a genius at briskly established plotlines and characterizations, clearly knew that a regal visit would be an ideal way to show off the best and worst of each Downton habitué.

    The Grace Lee Project
    What she finds is good for her and good for us -- a journey of realization for anyone who's ever felt lost in the crowd.

    Lucky
    A lot of Lucky is philosophical mischief, some of it is tediously ruminative, and some moments achieve a loveliness that belies the film’s craggy desert terrain, the earthiness of its characters and even the landscape of Mr. Stanton’s body.

    Society of the Snow
    The length of his film is an essential element in Mr. Bayona’s message about desperation and hope and, dare one say it, the resilience of the spirit. The soiled, ailing, sunburned husks of men who emerge from the mountains are heroes, though they look every bit like ghosts.

    Spawn
    The special effects are effective and aggressive, although one might occasionally confuse a divine vortex with a flushed toilet.

    The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson
    Ms. Zenovich possesses the interviewer’s most valuable skill, knowing when to shut up.

    Hyena
    The visuals are kinetic, the pacing frenetic; the violence, or at least its aftermath, doesn’t just border on the excessive, it makes major incursions. But given the criminal milieu at hand, nothing less would have seemed plausible, or equal to the heightened, sordid sensibility Mr. Johnson creates in the film’s opening moments and maintains right up to an ending that is among the more perverse in recent memory.
