    Klaus
    Sergio Pablos’s film is essentially a metaphor for its own unique and refreshing mode of expression.
    • 49 Metascore

    Paradise Hills
    Alice Waddington’s sci-fi fantasy never finds a cohesive story wrapper for its themes.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Steven Scaife
    Girl on the Third Floor
    The film is loud and obvious about declaring its themes, as if to distract from their ultimate shallowness.

    Zombieland: Double Tap
    Behind the self-awareness and the irony is merely a hollow emotional core, a lack of anything to say because saying something would require ambition rather than complacent winks and nods.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Steven Scaife
    Greener Grass
    In the film’s world, there can be no real resistance, as the suburbs have already won.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Steven Scaife
    The Day Shall Come
    The film is an aimless, albeit sometimes funny, chronicle of absurd behavior and government ineptitude.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 63 Steven Scaife
    Promare
    Promare often feels like a maximalist season finale trimmed of any build-up, a climax that’s outstanding to watch yet empty beyond its pure spectacle.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 88 Steven Scaife
    Depraved
    Larry Fessenden diagnoses the rot of our era through the shifting personalities and power dynamics of solipsistic men.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Steven Scaife
    Ms. Purple
    Subtlety dissipates as Justin Chon’s film grasps for something louder and more obvious.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 63 Steven Scaife
    Blinded by the Light
    The film bottles a palpable emotion of unabashed joy, even when the rest of it seems to barely hold together.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 63 Steven Scaife
    Crawl
    The film is more straight-faced than Alexandre Aja’s prior work, trading absurd kills for narrow escapes from gaping alligator jaws.
