Loosely inspired by real events, the plot is time-scrambled and non-linear, hinting at Quentin Tarantino levels of post-modern playfulness that sadly never materialize.- The Hollywood Reporter

The performances here are bloodless, the pacing listless, the dialogue witless almost to the point of deadpan parody.- The Hollywood Reporter

A clumsy high-school sex comedy which tries too hard to be both shocking and endearing, falling short on both counts.- The Hollywood Reporter

Graham begins Run with a solid premise, but he lacks the dramatic horsepower to move the story out of second gear.- The Hollywood Reporter

Dolan has labored hard to yoke together these tricksy, time-jumping, intertwined plots, reportedly editing down a mountain of material over two years. In the process, a whole character played by Jessica Chastain was surgically removed. But however long he tinkered, Dolan has not quite salvaged a story whose default setting seems to be mirthless, ponderous navel-gazing.- The Hollywood Reporter

This film’s thin charms lie not in its authenticity but in its zippy energy, good-looking cast and mild sprinkling of action.- The Hollywood Reporter

Behind its superficially avant-garde aesthetic, Baby Invasion is a shallow, conservative, masturbatory piece of work. It leaves behind an uncomfortable choice: either Korine has run out of anything interesting to say, or he has actually been trolling us all along.- The Film Verdict

Drunk on its own noble aims and rich ingredients, Megalopolis is a muddled misfire of overcooked kitsch and undercooked ideas.- The Film Verdict

With an ineptitude so thorough it borders on genius, Cummings achieves the rare feat of making Sheeran appear even more boring in person than he is on record.- The Hollywood Reporter

Mortdecai is an anachronistic mess that never succeeds in re-creating the breezy tone or snappy rhythm of the classic caper movies that it aims to pastiche.- The Hollywood Reporter

Without Crowe's brooding performance, Unhinged would just be another forgettable, formulaic, functional B-movie. With the burly Kiwi on board, it is transformed into a forgettable, formulaic, functional B-movie starring Russell Crowe.- The Hollywood Reporter
