Feels profound while still delivering the requisite laughs and fun.

This middling movie, intriguing but oddly incomplete, plays at best like Spielberg Lite.

This Netflix movie actually rises above most of the herd, thanks largely to co-writer and co-star Brett Goldstein.

There’s a Saturday-matinee-type unpretentiousness about the film that doesn’t really aspire to much more than letting the audience have a good time.

A near-irresistible and highly emotional adaptation of Shelby Van Pelt’s bestselling novel.

Those involved are smart enough to recognize what people really want is the warm tidings of a stylish reunion, and in terms of navigating that narrow runway, the movie mostly delivers.

A coming-of-age tale that, without breaking new ground, ranks high among recent entries in its well-worn genre.

Ryan Gosling and a faceless rock creature forge an unlikely bromance in an adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel that manages to be alternately touching, stirring and silly.

Hoppers certainly has the vibrant feel of a plush-toy merchandising bonanza waiting to happen.

An extremely down-to-earth, character-driven heist movie that in the best ways resembles similar fare from the 1990s.

At times the film feels like “Black Mirror” on peyote.

“Uncut Gems” gets a spiritual sequel.

The third installment in Rian Johnson’s still-entertaining spin on Agatha Christie for our times exhibits signs of yielding diminishing returns.

"Wicked” should be considered as one sweeping, five-hour canvas. And if the slightly shorter second half doesn’t fully measure up to the original, that does little to detract from director Jon M. Chu’s overall accomplishment.
