A film that feels created to shock rather than to tell a fully realized story, this boundary-pushing thriller is made to cause discomfort.
“Poor Things”
An eccentric, creative fantasy that’s flush with timely themes and plenty of material that is certain to spark controversy and intellectual discussion.
“The Boys in the Boat”
This rousing underdog tale of American pride doesn’t shatter expectations, but it delivers a film with universal appeal.
“Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire”
Dragging out this drab “Star Wars” rip-off into two parts is excessive, but hopefully the second installment will fare better.
“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom”
Jason Mamoa’s charisma and amiability are thoroughly squandered here, which is probably the biggest of the film’s many disappointments.
“The Iron Claw”
A sometimes unbearably sad film that chronicles the rise, fall, and unfathomable misfortune that befell one of the most influential families in the sport of wrestling.
