One of those hipster indie films that starts off with a bang but is quickly overshadowed by its own attempts at cleverness.
“The King of Staten Island”
Not your average coming-of-age tale, but its sincerity resonates with more meaning than others.
“Wonder Woman 1984”
The material is too unexciting and the performances too lackluster to deliver much more than a stale comic book fantasy.
“News of the World”
This film bored me overall, but its saving grace is Hanks, who was made for a role like this.
“Promising Young Woman”
This exercise in fearless filmmaking should be added to the very top of the list of must-see feminist cinema.
“Soul”
Pixar’s stunning new animated film is a beautiful ode to the pure joy of living.
