“Dumb Money”
Perfectly capturing a moment in time, this story of the have-nots taking on Wall Street is a movie for the people.
“The Retirement Plan”
A throwaway action movie that may not be slick and polished, but it’s still highly entertaining.
“Wildcat”
Featuring two borderline incompetent lead performances and a script that is too far out there, this is one of the more surprising disasters of 2023.
“The (Ex)perience of Love”
This comedy-drama about complicated human relationships and sexuality has a good sense of European humor coupled with a breezy attitude, but it overstays its welcome with a too-long run time and artsy interludes that grind the storytelling to a halt.
“Knox Goes Away”
An overly-complicated, middle-of-the-road crime procedural that’s neither gripping nor thrilling.
