Sharper – Film Review
Sharper is a highly respectable effort that features some good performances all around, despite the fact that the screenplay could have used some improvement.
Spotlight – Film Review
Spotlight is an emotionally powerful biographical film with outstanding lead performances from Michael Keaton and Mark Ruffalo.
Somebody I Used To Know – Film Review
Although Somebody I Used To Know isn’t very innovative, its great stars Alison Brie and Jay Ellis, and some compelling emotional beats, make it worthwhile.
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.
