“Better Man”
Yes, the main character in this biopic is depicted as an animated ape. And yes, it works.
“The Room Next Door”
Boasting strong performances and a deeply introspective script, this film about friendship, regret, and mortality is rich in thematic nuance.
“Shell”
Entertaining but not thought-provoking, and never fully commits to the depth its premise seems to promise.
“Boy Kills World”
A total assault on the senses in the form of a weird, violent thrill ride that’s cool in bloody bursts but ultimately feels empty.
“The Brutalist”
Boring, overly theatrical, and weighed down by a miscast performance from Felicity Jones, this film is epic in scope, but not in execution.
