    Preparation for the Next Life
    Liu points his lens at life and life does the work, guided by a masterful screenplay and tender performances.

    Caught Stealing
    At last, an Aronofsky film where it doesn’t feel like he hates us. O brave new world, that has such movies in it.

    The Toxic Avenger
    A heartwarming, horrifically violent homage to the most lovable dreck ever produced outside of the studio system.

    Megadoc
    Megadoc, whether it’s showing all there is to show or not, is a fascinating exposé of a filmmaker who risked everything so nobody could shoot down his ideas, only to shoot himself in the foot in the process.

    La Grazia
    The magic of La grazia is that Paolo Sorrentino makes a convincing argument that doubt is a beautiful thing.

    The Roses
    An ambitious comedy, not because it’s so big but because it’s so delicate. This film could crumble at any minute. It veers dangerously from misery to whimsy to horror to hope.

    Relay
    Any movie that reminds you, simultaneously and favorably, of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation and Michael Mann’s Thief is doing something very right — even if it looms a lot lower than those towering works of genius.

    Eenie Meanie
    Eenie Meanie plays like a decent adaptation of an unpublished Elmore Leonard novel. Even the title looks like it should be on a spinner rack next to Freaky Deaky and Rum Punch.

    The Map That Leads to You
    It’s so divorced from reality that it’s practically grounds for divorce.

    East of Wall
    It’s a generous production, one that lovingly offers meaningful moments to every member of the cast, even the actors with only one scene.

    Red Sonja
    A sword-and-sorcery epic that can’t swing the 'epic' part.

    Nobody 2
    It’s like a National Lampoon movie where Chevy Chase is a mass murderer. That’s a great pitch, dang it, and Timo Tjahjanto throws it at 105 miles per hour.

    Weapons
    What [Cregger]'s getting at seems a lot less frightening, and a lot more contrived, than it would have had he not invited us to ponder more powerful possibilities for over an hour before tipping his hand.

    Freakier Friday
    It’s still sweet, it’s still funny, it’s still freaky, and it’s still Friday. Thank God.

    My Oxford Year
    My Oxford Year is shiny and affable, and if that was the assignment it’d get an 'A' for effort . . . actually that’s going too far, let’s make it a respectable 'B.' But that’s not the assignment.

    She Rides Shotgun
    There’s a confidence to She Rides Shotgun that many other movies can’t match, as though the filmmakers always knew exactly where to put their camera and how long to let it roll.

    The Naked Gun
    The Naked Gun is back and it's as naked as ever. And also as gun.

    The Bad Guys 2
    It’s not bad, guys. But guys, it’s not good.
    • 39 Metascore

    The Home
    A few odd touches and one impressively, cathartically violent sequence don’t compensate for the film’s resistance to its own ideas.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps
    Matt Shakman has done something Marvel Studios doesn’t do very well anymore. He’s made a superhero movie that embraces the 'super' part. And the 'hero' part. And the 'movie' part.

    I Know What You Did Last Summer
    Logic, be damned! And begone! Everything about the new 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' strains credulity until credulity breaks open and spills fake blood and candy everywhere. And that’s for the best.

    Sovereign
    Sovereign is some of Offerman’s most complex and disturbing work. It’s a fine film, too.

    Abraham's Boys: A Dracula Story
    You may want to leave the theater, go directly to a bookstore and buy the source material. That’s good! But you may want to leave before the movie’s over. That’s bad.

    Superman
    A fabulously smart and entertaining film whose flaws stem from trying too hard… which are the best flaws a film can have.

    The Old Guard 2
    These above average, slightly forgettable movies may not live forever, but Theron’s badassery might.

    Everything's Going to Be Great
    Everything’s Going to Be Great understands the hopeless can-do spirit of not quite getting there but coming close enough that you’ll never, ever give up.

    28 Years Later
    The filmmakers haven’t redefined the zombie genre, but they’ve refocused their own culturally significant riff into a lush, fascinating epic that has way more to say about being human than it does about (re-)killing the dead.
    • 66 Metascore

    Elio
    It’s all about radical acceptance but can only talk about the real-world application of its message in general metaphors, so people who don’t actually accept 'weird,' 'different' kids won’t have to think about how wrong they are.

    F1: The Movie
    Kosinski’s antiseptic visual style and Ehren Kruger’s limp screenplay (with a co-story credit by Kosinski himself) make 'F1 The Movie' an incredibly sterile film about virility. It’s so manly it can barely perform.

    Bride Hard
    There’s an old expression that goes, 'If you can’t think of anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.' I propose we update that a little. 'If you can’t think of anything nice to say, you’re probably talking about Bride Hard.
