True Spirit – Film Review
True Spirit may feature strong performances, but its script and visual aspects are too poorly done to look past.
Baby Ruby – Film Review
Baby Ruby puts Noémie Merlant in an excellent starring role, but the film mostly fails to impress due to its bland story.
Please Stand By – Film Review
Although it’s heavily predictable, Please Stand By is a wholesome coming-of-age story that’s further fuelled by a strong lead performance from Dakota Fanning.
Ben Is Back – Film Review
Ben Is Back is an emotional gut punch of a movie fueled with tons of empathy, boosted by two strong performances by Julia Roberts and Lucas Hedges.

Babylon – Film Review
Babylon is a visual feast and a technical marvel filled with fun cameos, even if it can stumble along the way due to its absurdly long running time and lack of clear focus.
When You Finish Saving the World – Film Review
Finn Wolfhard and Julianne Moore are excellent in When You Finish Saving the World, a decently enjoyable coming-of-age comedy-drama that serves as a solid showcase for Jesse Eisenberg as a director.
Missing – Film Review
Inventive, captivating, and scarily plausible, Missing is an excellent exercise in pure tension, written and directed masterfully by Nick Johnson and Will Merrick and featuring a strong lead performance from Storm Reid.
Before Midnight – Film Review
Emotionally moving, heart-wrenching, and uplifting all at once, Before Midnight is a dazzling finish to Richard Linklater’s trilogy of romantic dramas.
Before Sunset – Film Review
Before Sunset is a mesmerizing follow-up to its predecessor, complete with incredible dialogue, superb direction from Richard Linklater, and featuring understated performances from Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.
Dog Gone – Film Review
Dog Gone is a hugely lazy family comedy that suffers from poor pacing, an all-too familiar story, and an impressively bland script that goes nowhere.
