In terms of shocking violence, there is still plenty to satisfy fans of gore. Sadly, though, there isn’t much else here to appreciate.
“Hustlers”
Just because a movie is female-centric and features a diverse cast doesn’t make it a masterpiece, but “Hustlers” is a pretty damn good feminist-angled critique of American capitalism.
“Ad Astra”
Highly intelligent and melancholy science fiction that will leave a lasting impression on those who can appreciate its sadness and beauty.
“Luce”
It’s horrifying in a way, because you have to keep guessing if Luce is a saint or a monster — and you will likely be wrong.
“The Peanut Butter Falcon”
The film flows with an independent spirit that’s smart and actually treats the audience like intellectuals.
