In many ways, Let it Be is the best Beatles film of all since they are not playing the Beatles but rather are being themselves.

In preparing A Compassionate Spy, James seamed together a spellbinding collage concerning the life and times of Ted Hall and his family. It is a wonderful documentary, and I encourage everyone who wants a greater sense of the story of the Atomic Age to check it out.

I did not like MidSommar as much as I appreciated its audacity and the skill that clearly went into making it. This was a stunning work of art that embraced excess with only mostly positive results.

Bacon's performance is so riveting that you no longer see the 46-year-old actor.

When it comes to survival tales, Society of the Snow sets a standard that will be difficult to top.

A film like this has to be seen. It's beautiful, it's encouraging, and it really inspires its audience to commit to something positive.

Plagues & Pleasures is kinda like one of those travel videos, except it's offering you a vacation like you've never had before and it's not loaded with bulls---.

With brilliant dialogue out of the 1940s and graceful visuals that add depth to the dark comedy, Johnson debuts with a smart, self-assured feature that portrays adolescence like no other film has.

This classically styled thriller plays on universal themes of alienation to deliver a punchy diversion with macabre tints and a love of the genre.

No one is safe, and decency is thrown out the window. Not since Deadpool has a movie ever been so f****d up. Though Deadpool wandered more into the sexual and scatological terrain, The Suicide Squad, instead, blurs the line between cartoon violence and gory realism.

We witness many of Stephenson's inspirational moments during class, but miles more exist behind her students' skills and execution.

Cash is a legend, and deserving of a more thoughtful portrayal than what we’re offered here.

If you’re not a fan of anime, give it try. Be open and patient.

Allen covers it all with intelligent dialogue and unexpected moments of clever visual storytelling.

While the authenticity of a television show from that era may dampen the intensity of the scares, the film is still just plain fun to watch. The effects are wonderful, with the vast majority of them being practical. The Cairnes brothers lean on fun over terror, which may irk some. But, what fun is had!

Overall, I think this documentary is perfect, even if it is a bit of Christmas propaganda.

I think what McKenzie innocently started out as a way to educate himself and the audience about cryptocurrency ends up playing out very much like a scripted movie. The film reaches a point that echoes the old saying, “You couldn’t even write this if you wanted to,” which holds true here and is what makes it so watchable.

Truly Madly Deeply is a truly, madly, deeply romantic film, and Stevenson and Rickman have a natural rapport. What distinguishes the film more than that is the uncommon intelligence with which Minghella approaches this fanciful situation.

A cross between a road movie, a documentary and a therapy session.

It seems as if all of the new animation competition has lit a fire under Disney's collective ass and they have something to prove again.

An uber-modern romance story that's powered with raw honesty and coated with wild imagination.

Eccentric and pure like its hero, Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis will appall or bore many, but, a worthy piece of cultural history, it should delight devotees of the "real" reel underground.

When you get old and crotchety, you say things like, “They don’t make ’em like that anymore.” For the most part, “they” don’t. Then you see VFW and realize it’s not a nostalgia thing. It’s genuinely not done this way anymore. Thank you Joe Begos for reminding us how it should be.

Offering beauty and strength in an oppressed and marginalized world, Eileen breaks the boundaries of perceived power.

It’s a moving drama with an excellent central performance.

Overall, not a great film, but definitely worth a viewing, especially to those who have seen any other Coppola film released this decade.

The script is solid, the cast is excellent, most of the special effects are impressive too.

Those first two acts feel fresh and different. I loved Pattinson’s take. He’s not a pretty boy, he’s a conflicted human being. He’s a hero who’s not so super.
