Anchored by strong performances from Daisy Ridley and Dave Merheje, the film has pacing issues, but it's emotionally resonant, humorous, and relatable.

The film attempts to deliver an emotional, compelling, and entertaining story, but it struggles with balance despite some lovely, uplifting moments.

As blockbuster experiences go, it's near-enough perfect.

Enola Holmes is a little overwrought, but Millie Bobby Brown's charming heroine and Henry Cavill's fun Sherlock pull off all the twists and turns.

Unfortunately, the film doesn’t invest in its characters or in its world beyond the surface, so why should we?

This is a purposefully languid movie that proves real, genuine tension can be built without crash landing right on your head. In an era of fast cuts and escalating explosions — the kind that Hemsworth, Ruffalo and Halle Berry all know intimately from their time in Marvel's universe — it is refreshing to watch something this confident in its own particular DNA.

Daniel Craig’s fifth and final outing as Bond is replete with fantastic action sequences and an emotional center despite the final act being shaky.

It's almost like Cumming has made two films, one through aesthetics and atmosphere and one through story and theme, that ultimately can't coexist. Neither is a bad film, but the former makes a much greater impression, and I wish it had been seen through to the end.

The film is genuinely funny, and the cast is up to the task as the story balances impending consequences for Maria’s actions and gasp-inducing comedic satire.

It may not push the envelope or be as innovative as other films out right now, but Just Mercy is nevertheless able to captivate the audience and could even inspire people to try to make a difference.

If American Pachuco leaves you wanting more, perhaps that's not a bad thing; Valdez deserves the last word, anyway, and he's not finished.

Fear Street Part 3: 1666 wraps up the horror trilogy's story in a satisfying conclusion that's finally less homage and more its own original slasher.

James Gunn's Superman movie launches the DC Universe in spectacular fashion, with a fun-filled romp that requires refreshingly little homework.

What the film does have is a sense of style and an ability to keep us engaged through a riotous cast that is clearly having a lot of fun.

Fortunately, the wait was absolutely worth it as CODE: White joins some of Spy x Family's best missions as one of the franchise's best outings.

Crimes of the Future has an intriguing enough setup, but it doesn’t know how to tie everything together, leaving the disparate pieces of the plot adrift and turning the film into a tedious watch.

It's good to have the actor, whose diverse filmography is certainly a memorable one, back in an exciting, eccentric big studio film.

The biggest disappointment is perhaps that it doesn’t do enough to focus on Natasha, opting to set up Yelena as her successor. There is just enough Black Widow, however, to make this a distinct film, one that is less of a traditional superhero outing in the MCU, with the film more interested in exploring the lengths of human cruelty, perseverance, and the ties that bind despite everything.

Problemista invokes the simplicity of myth without ever letting its characters become simplistic.

It may not be the best biopic ever told, but people will certainly walk away from Rustin more educated, inspired to be the change they want to see in the world, and grateful that movies like this are willing to tell the truth about buried history.

Equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, My Best Part is a sweet exploration of the absurdities of life and a celebration of what's worth living for.

It's no surprise that Opera is Argento's largest mainstream success due to the fact that it is everything a traditional horror fan could want coupled with the addition of giallo elements and a unique story.

With a great cast, excellent visual effects, and perfectly edited and executed scenes and transitions, there is a lot to love.

Ultimately, Dead Man’s Wire succeeds as a comedy but often falters in its deeper social commentary. Though it lacks the critical bite that could make it one of Van Sant’s best, it sits comfortably among his most entertaining.

The Way of Water is overlong and stretched thin on story, but the Avatar sequel is beautiful, with lush world-building and characters that add depth.

Despite its drawbacks the kids will still love it, it's still epic and entertaining for adults, and the movie still manages to say something inspired and meaningful - even if it takes a little longer to do so.

Night Call is a stirring and compelling film that immediately grabbed my attention and maintained it throughout its runtime.

It's an absurd and stunning story, but it also holds such heart and authenticity that it feels deeply relatable.
