How to Make a Killing movie poster
How to Make a Killing (1h45m)
Lackluster and shameless rip-off of the Ealing classic “Kind Hearts and Coronets” that even Glen Powell’s natural charm can’t rescue from its confused tone.

Hoppers movie poster
Hoppers (1h44m)
Well-rounded film that brings together a great cast, efficient direction and high-quality visuals.
The wild twist on a familiar pitch is one of Pixar’s best ideas in years: original, touching and completely bonkers.

Pillion movie poster
Pillion (1h46m)
Raunchy on the surface, the story depicts an unconventional lifestyle with great nuance and surprisingly touching grace, owing a lot to the bold and outstanding performances from its two leads and very focused direction.

Sentimental Value movie poster
Sentimental Value (2h13m)
Top-notch performances, first and foremost by the very versatile Elle Fanning.
But the story lacks severely in focus and never really explores or resolves its over-abundance of themes in a satisfactory way.

Christy movie poster
Christy (2h15m)
Against type, Sweeney gives a gritty and transformative performance. Ben Foster is also brilliant.
And the rest of the film is solid, be it the well-built script or Michôd's efficient direction, resulting in an engaging and inspiring biopic.
Rating: B

Train Dreams movie poster
Train Dreams (1h42m)
Light on plot and often mired in its literary roots, the film makes up for it with a nuanced performance by Joel Edgerton and truly sumptuous cinematography to deliver a touching and nostalgic portrait.

The Secret Agent movie poster
The Secret Agent (2h41m)
Authentic recreation of the corrupt mood of 1970s Brazil. But the script is lackluster and far-fetched and the direction clumsy.
All that’s left is the strong performance from Wagner Moura which holds the film together.
Rating: D

Scream 7 movie poster
Scream 7 (1h54m)
Back to its roots, the film delivers the expected: gory deaths and shocking final act reveals.
But the IP has lost the meta self-parody edge that made it so fun and relevant and, while still moderately entertaining, is now on its last legs.

The Wrecking Crew movie poster
The Wrecking Crew (2h04m)
A couple of funny bits and some expensive action sequences but the script is hopelessly cliché, a prime example of what streamers green-light today: unoriginal and forgettable eye-candy.
Prime Video/Rating: D

No Other Choice movie poster
No Other Choice (2h19m)
Solid concept and strong performance by lead Lee Byung-hun.
But the script feels unfocused and Park Chan-wook’s direction messy. A prior adaptation of the source novel by Costa-Gavras had delivered a much more powerful movie.

The Great
Hulu/Netflix - 3 seasons (done), 30 episodes, 53 minutes each
The show has no time for historical realism and instead focuses on goofy plots and hilarious hijinks, with both Fanning and Hoult giving outrageous performances.

Return to Silent Hill movie poster
Return to Silent Hill (1h46m)
Terrible script full on non-sequiturs, hollow characters and a predictably cliché twist.
All that’s left are the IP’s deranged and creepy monsters and those were already done to perfection in the first film.
Rating: E+

Send Help movie poster
Send Help (1h53m)
Strong performance by Rachel McAdams and the film is off to a strong start thanks to a wicked concept and Raimi’s directorial chops.
It however loses steam halfway and loses its way up to a baffling and unsatisfying ending.
Rating: C

Wuthering Heights movie poster
“Wuthering Heights” (2h16m)
A solid cast, skillful direction and a lavish production design.
But Fennell’s blunt adaptation is an unconvincing story peopled with deeply unrelatable characters that is very difficult to engage with.

Is This Thing On? movie poster
Is This Thing On? (2h01m)
Touching script based on a true story that strikes a fine line between realism and originality, comedy and drama.
The cast is impeccable and Cooper’s direction, constantly using his framing to great effect, truly immersive.
Rating: B-

The Chronology of Water movie poster
The Chronology of Water (2h08m)
Less a narrative and more a raw character study, the film owes a lot to its very intricate direction, editing and sound design.
In the lead, Imogen Poots is, as often, remarkable and superbly intense.

The Wizard of the Kremlin movie poster
The Wizard of the Kremlin (2h32m)
The film feels less like a narrative fiction and more like a re-enacted history lesson, yet one that delivers an accurate recap of Russia’s recent history.
Jude Law is simply perfect as Putin.

The History of Sound movie poster
The History of Sound (2h08m)
A deep and moving character study that flags a bit in its middle but comes together beautifully in the last act thanks to powerful dramatic twists, clever editing and a nuanced but layered performance by Paul Mescal.

Marty Supreme movie poster
Marty Supreme (2h29m)
Chalamet’s intense and wide-ranging performance holds the film together but the script is an assortment of broken threads peopled by characters with unclear agendas and unsatisfying arcs.
Acting award bait but not much else.

Rental Family (1h49m)
Very sweet script with just the right balance of comedy and drama, with Brendan Fraser confirming his welcome return as a topmost lead with great range.

Hamnet movie poster
Hamnet (2h05m)
Terrific performance from Jesse Buckley. An original point of view and some outstanding emotional moments.
Bu the film feels fragmented and mostly serves as a protracted exposition for the final act.
