  1. The film is jam-packed with fun tidbits and celebrity cameos that will surprise a lot of Vandross' fans — the casual and the hardcore. Considering his level of fame, it’s strange we haven’t gotten a biopic or definitive piece of fiction with Vandross at the center, but Porter seems to have made the definitive Luther Vandross documentary and it's worth every minute of our time.
  2. While Super/Man touches upon the role, its impact on Reeve’s career and personal life, the documentary is more of a touching ode to the complicated, charming man behind the cape, and the perseverance he showed following his accident.
  3. Though the movie's final act somewhat stumbles through its attempt at a big twist, it proves to be a refreshing approach to the formula.
  4. Cellar Door may not provide intense emotional payoffs, or twists that come as a complete surprise, but the actors deliver great performances, and it's intriguing to watch as the central couple's lives unravel.
  5. Meanwhile on Earth is an odd blend of genres that distracts from its arguments, even though the unresolved ending isn't really the problem.
  6. Black Cab has a pitch-perfect combination of Goodison's surreal direction and Gazelle Twin's ethereal score.
  7. What I connected to wins out over what I didn't – I have enjoyed sitting with its ideas, and there are a couple flourishes that will stick with me.

    Prieto also does manage to craft some beautiful images in the flashback sequences. While he doesn't harness his cinematography experience often enough to push the story forward visually, it is impossible to deny the power of certain images.

    There's lots of bells and whistles, but in attempting to deconstruct and reconstruct Christmas spirit there's just never enough charm to carry the spell.
  8. With a game cast and thrilling action sequences, Huang’s film offers more than expected to keep us engaged.
  9. Elevation comes across as a mild copycat rather than a compelling project that stands on its own merits.
  10. Even if it's ultimately forgettable, the movie has an undeniable feel-good appeal, and during the cold winter months, there's no reason to take that away from anybody. Flaws and all, there's no question that this movie will find its audience and be celebrated for its nostalgia and pathos.
  11. Hitpig seems to have gone all in on the goofy humor and left the movie with an unappealing and unenthusiastic story that, despite the novelty of a bounty hunter pig, can't make up for a movie with no stakes.
  12. The animators bring this world to life with expert skill.
  13. It’s a film so soulless I questioned the point of it.
  14. It’s an imperfect film that is intriguing until the end.
  15. The film is grounded, avoiding sensationalism and empty indulgences.
  16. The film is unable to sustain any tension and is seemingly afraid of its own potential for violence, despite gesturing toward the creative weapon choice that is practically a bar for entry into the slasher genre.
  17. The Gutter is ultimately an enjoyable throwback to the broad-skewing sports comedies of the '90s.
  18. While Blitz may not be transformative, it isn’t all bad. McQueen is a capable director who deftly moves between different points in time, offering a glimpse into Rita and George’s life before and during the war.
  19. Mielants’ film does a lot with little dialogue, setting the stage for something rich and thought-provoking.
  20. Though competently shot, the storytelling and performances leave much to be desired.
  21. The film offers an inspiring and remarkable story of hope, creativity, and adaptability, through the eyes of Mats and his alter ego, Ibelin.
  22. Memoir of a Snail never asks us or the narrative to compare the depth of sadness or experience. Every experience is treated with equal weight and importance. Even as we realize that Grace's life is becoming a string of misfortunes, it's impossible not to stick with her.
  23. Venom: The Last Dance shows what happens when you let a perfectly cast actor and a director with a lot of affection for the character run wild in a world of Marvel superheroes. You get a movie that's a little weird, a lot silly, and full of fun.
  24. The film brings the drama, but it’s never overdone and the performances from the cast elevate the material, adding dimensions to the characters’ lives.
  25. MadS shows what can be done with a little imagination and faith in the audience.
  26. With the exceptional performances from the cast and several laugh-out-loud moments, this creative film is wildly entertaining.

    It's hard to pick out exactly what was supposed to be funny when you take the slapstick away, and it occurs to me finally that Brothers was never actually a comedy at all, it's an indie drama wearing a clown costume for no discernible reason.
  27. As a story of parental reckoning, Goodrich lacks the interrogative instinct of something like Sofia Coppola's On the Rocks, and it rushes Grace's catharsis as a result. But as a story of a man's late-stage awakening, it strikes a more resonant chord.
