    The Turning
    The film casts its source narrative as a delusional fantasy through which to enact the effects of possible traumas that go completely unexplored.

    Pet Sematary
    The story has enough pathos to fulfill the expectations of a great tragedy, but the film feels like a commercial for something else entirely.

    Mapplethorpe
    In Mapplethorpe, the ultimate purpose of the film seems to be the reductive portrayal of the artist as yet another tormented queer destroyed by his tendencies toward vice.

    If I Stay
    The film, based on the novel by Gayle Forman, is an almost deliberate confirmation of Alison Bechdel's claim that women in film are so often shown only in relation to men.
