    Molly's Game
    At a certain point, everyone watching Molly’s Game will form the question, “Why should I care about any of this?” It’s a question Sorkin should have anticipated. He has no good answer.

    Asylum
    Mostly meets expectations.

    The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam
    Rough around the edges, it's still a formidable movie.

    Abandon
    A disjointed movie with uneven acting and too many scenes that defy belief.
    • 55 Metascore

    The Truth About Charlie
    A sometimes interesting remake that doesn't compare to the brilliant original.

    The Holy Land
    Serious and absurd (mostly, it's a drama) but never finds a good rhythm. The movie flounders in a way that calls too much attention to itself -- and is hurt by jarring and unbelievable plot twists.

    Friday After Next
    The jokes are sophomoric, stereotypes are sprinkled everywhere and the acting ranges from bad to bodacious.

    Captain Pantoja and the Special Services
    A pedestrian film that provides little more than a superficial treat.

    Divan
    Too self-indulgent.

    Moonlight Mile
    Too predictable and too self-conscious to reach a level of high drama.

    Wasabi
    A silly, cross-cultural shoot-'em-up -- the sort of movie that will work for those with some time to kill (no pun intended).

    A Letter to True
    It's all so cute -- except that Weber wants this to be a thoughtful film.

    Ultimate X: The Movie
    Instead of a balanced film that explains the zeitgeist that is the X Games, we get a cinematic postcard that's superficial and unrealized.

    Katakuri-ke no kôfuku
    Occasionally, this film is funny and cute. When the family's little girl narrates, it reaches a level of humor that is ironic and endearing.
