This film is subpar on every level. It almost seems unfair to compare it to 2015’s dream team behind the camera.

FANATICAL ABOUT FILM!
Movies are our religion and the theater our church. Our gods are named Tarantino, Anderson and Scorsese.
We attend services 3-4 times a week and take our communion in the form of soda and popcorn. We offer up these reviews in hopes of pleasing our deities.
Please share your own comments on our reviews. We encourage all forms of respectful debate. We are, after all, “Fanatical About Film”!

DVD & Streaming: July
Our recommendations for what’s new for home viewing this month.
“Hearts Beat Loud”
Director Brett Haley and his longtime co-writer Marc Basch make sweet music once again in “Hearts Beat Loud,” a beautifully low-key, heartfelt, small scale story of how music aids us in speaking our inner truth.
“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”
This isn’t a great movie but it delivers a high-intensity energy that’s nearly impossible not to at least mildly enjoy — if you accept this sequel for what it is.
“Gotti”
The end result is an incoherent jumble not unlike that of puzzle pieces thrown together in a bag, shaken up, and heaved on the screen in an astonishing display of haphazard incompetence.
“Hereditary”
Here is the rare movie that demands repeat viewings, and will undoubtedly leave audiences unsettled regardless of whether it’s being watched the first, third, or fifth time around.
