  1. The ending feels way too cookie-cutter perfect. Scrambled is a worthwhile experience, though, as it is a personal tale that aims to empower through laughter.
  2. The story is just so rushed, there’s barely any time spent on establishing the world we’re introduced to before it’s full-speed ahead.
  3. Argylle is worth checking out for those interested, but don't expect it to be as good as Kingsman: The Secret Service, though it's certainly better than The King's Man.
  4. As ambitious or complicated as the script may get, the film is the ultimate crowd-pleaser, entertaining the idea of horror tropes but structuring the story with clever twists and thrills that defy the genre.
  5. The film gives good insight into the confusion and fear we may face when exploring our sense of self.
  6. Your Monster is a magical movie experience you do not want to miss. A nice blend of levity and drama, Lindy’s debut assertively makes its mark on the genre.
  7. Without relying on cheap jump scares, Soderbergh’s psychological horror thriller is a shattering mystery about instinct that will chill you.
  8. The film is endearingly sweet, smart, and funny.
  9. Whatever the intent, the execution isn’t all the way there, and that’s the biggest disappointment of all.
  10. Tótem's camera is always studying the actors, exploratory and intrusive in the manner of a child's perceptive gaze.

    All in all, Maboroshi is a complete and utter mess of a film. The art, animation, and music are all great, but the story has nothing interesting to say after its first half, and constantly switches between moving too fast and too slow.
  11. Ultimately, The Kitchen is a film with its heart set on two stories and only succeeds in telling one.
  12. Perhaps, Kaurismäki's movie suggests, disaffection is a valid response to this reality we live in. So, when these two people meet and sparks fly, it becomes all the more meaningful.
  13. The film is, unfortunately, just another instance of the book being better than the movie.
  14. With a premise worth engaging with, the film can’t quite grasp what its full intentions are and the execution reflects that.
  15. While the plot is suspenseful and unsettling because it’s something that could happen, the film underwhelms when it comes to its dynamics and individual arcs, each character lacking a depth that would have elevated an otherwise solid thriller.
  16. It's the right amount of romantic, funny, and thrilling, and it does what it needs to do to make its narrative feel less derivative and more dynamic and fun.
  17. Packed with great action sequences and a cast that is committed to each other and the script, Gray's latest is creative and fun enough to hold attention.
  18. The sincerity with which The Book of Clarence approaches its story, combined with its sheer boldness, will cement Samuel as a filmmaker who soars to unimaginable heights.
  19. The Beekeeper is an engaging ride, and once the action starts it never lets up.
  20. The film isn’t trying to hit us over the head with what it’s trying to say, but its themes have depth. When exploring career and glory vs. family, regret and the lengths one will go to return to a life that’s no longer tenable, McGuire gets in a few good swings. If only the horror lived up to these aspects of the film.
  21. If entertainment is all you're looking for, you'll find it, and you'll even have the fun of debating the accents and VFX as you leave the theater. But there's also a lot more to find beneath its surface pleasures, making it a worthy Christmas capstone for what has been a very good year for adults at the movies.
  22. The problem is that the film wants to be too many things. It wants to be an action/adventure that takes its characters to exciting locales, a heart-warming story of family, an incisive commentary on global warming, and a cautionary tale of how vengeance can consume a person.
  23. The biggest drawback of Migration is that it doesn't play to its strengths as often as it should.
  24. The Color Purple is a resounding success with respect to quality and entertainment. From its messaging about sisterhood and self-love to its stunning filmmaking achievements, it’s a film that's easily enjoyed on the big screen. While the entire cast brings their A-game, Barrino, Henson, and Brooks steal the show with Oscar-worthy performances.
  25. Concrete Utopia is one of the best thrillers of the year.
  26. The plot of the movie works, but the dialogue definitely does not. The style is fine, but the tone is lacking. The Sacrifice Game is a film with the potential to be something cool and eerie, but the final product doesn't live up to that.
  27. Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is a blast overall. The performances hark back to the original, and while the sense of humor is not as edgy as it once was, it's still very effective.
  28. The Archies is entertaining, educational and original.
  29. Just in time for the holidays, writers Morgan Evans (Teen Titans Go!) and Jase Ricci have found the perfect balance of heart and hilarity in this cartoon caper.
