A coming-of-age film that feels casually comforting, like a warm blanket of nostalgia.

“Encounter”
I can almost guarantee this will be mismarketed by the studio as an exciting, action-packed sci-fi thriller. It’s not.
“House of Gucci”
Jared Leto is lucky that exceptional makeup renders him unrecognizable. I’d want to hide behind a costume if I had given the worst performance of my career, too.
“Are You Lonesome Tonight?”
This crime noir with a high degree of artistic merit is a confident debut from director Shipei Wen.
“Spencer”
This film isn’t grand in scope, but in its concept and storytelling. It also features one of the very best performances of the year.
“The Guilty”
Director Antoine Fuqua is adept at creating intensity and suspense, and this film ramps up the stress level almost to a breaking point.
