    Lee Cronin’s The Mummy may not fully cohere, but it certainly doesn’t play it safe. The extent to which you enjoy the film will depend on your tolerance for excess.
  1. So maybe the entire right wing should just shut the f--- up, and accept that Michael Moore is going to have his say now.
  2. This is a unique holiday horror experience that can be enjoyed year after year.
  3. Modernism, Inc: The Eliot Noyes Design Story is well-crafted and educational. Its deep dive into corporate culture design is fascinating.

    Immerse yourself in two fantastic performers, a polished narrative (by Menno Meyjes) and a “could have happened” scenario. It plays all too real if you ask me.
  4. Haynes carefully navigates the risky terrain of presenting real people (who are still among us) and facts in a scripted feature film, artfully blurring the lines between documentary and drama.

    Sometimes, the greatest tales in rock n’ roll involve bands or singers who haven’t made the Hall of Fame or made the playlists for classic rock stations. If you want both the best sounds or the best stories, you have to search. Thankfully, Bobbi Jo Hart has saved the rest of us a lot of effort with her new documentary Fanny: The Right to Rock. She doesn’t have to exert herself to prove that the early 70s combo deserves a place in the pantheon. The ample performance clips from the era speak for themselves loudly.
  5. Eminently successful at portraying the former first lady's flaws because it allows her to describe them herself.

    If you’ve ever felt alone and ignored in life, Dear Evan Hansen may touch you in profound ways.
  6. Remembering Gene Wilder is a beautiful, affectionate, albeit brief, biography of an actor who was adored by all.
  7. The romance here is rich and the laughs plentiful.
  8. Better than the first in some ways: the superfluous Agent Meyers is gone, Doug Jones is great as Abe, and Strauss is an amusing addition (if almost structurally identical to Kroenen).
  9. It’s a showcase for what great independent filmmaking is all about, taking an interesting concept and applying excellent acting and directing on a limited budget. I will say that the ending felt a little weak to me, but the film is akin to life in general in that the most important aspect is the journey.

    Plays like a fever dream that won't quit until you lose consciousness or your lunch, whichever goes first.
  10. You love Solondz's films, you'll love Palindromes. That same twisted sense of humor is there and certain scenes go on for an uncomfortably long time, but you wind up savoring the discomfort.
  11. The filmmaker plays with our assumptions around justice and race. While A Lot of Nothing uses elements ripped from the headlines, in this context, what you expect to come from it will say more about you than it does the script. The revelation of the final act changes everything that has gone before. Hang onto the edge of your seat for a wickedly entertaining ride.

    I enjoyed its surreal tinge and the thickening atmosphere. However, I came away a little disappointed with the wavering tone, wondering if it this might have horror blockbuster legs if it were a little more even. As it stands, this is a fantastically enigmatic horror film done beautifully well.

    Aside from the over abundance of rather large glasses and sweaty actors, Body Heat succeeds fabulously, not only as an excellent example of a classic film noir but as a solidly executed production in its own right.

    Good performances and a simple story about an overly complicated family dynamic all comes together making a wonderful story of family.

    There is a charm to Win a Trip To Browntown found in its story of family and ambition.
  12. This funny, heartwarming, and thorough documentation of Sparks’ career [is] a benchmark by which all future music documentaries will be judged.

    Whilst not an A grade psychological profile by any means, Ray has still crafted a meticulously enjoyable film. It’s as gripping as it is disturbing, and as well performed as it is mysterious.
  13. A touching and almost ridiculously inspirational story for all of us.
  14. Benson and Moorhead have crafted yet another lo-fi sci-fi masterpiece.

    Modern-day poetry about being older.
  15. Yes, there is a lack of real substance throughout Simple Passion, but the sex manages to fill that void to a degree and keep the film afloat.
  16. At its core, the film is a possession romance, a story with a familiar structure of enticing evil that transcends the particulars of sexuality or subcultural framing. Full view here demonstrates, perhaps more clearly, that this is obsession, desire, and corruption in a world that some people can relate to as a newcomer in a new life and clubs scene.
  17. The story is told with dignity and spotlights a moment of history that demands to be remembered.

    Time Bandits has a wonderful, Zelig-like quality to be whatever you want it to be. Do the diminutive bandits represent the Pythons? Sure, probably, to some extent. Is the film a fairy tale disguised as a revisionist history lesson? Yes, you can see it that way. Does it offer a commentary on the ills of modern society? I think so. Is it a combination of all those things and more? Very likely.
  18. 2nd Chance stands right up there as a complete portrait of someone we are simultaneously repulsed by and drawn to. As such, it is one of the year’s best documentaries.
