A raunchy musical that’s trying so very hard to be funny, likeable, and edgy that it fails at all of it.
“Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain”
A one-note comedy that’s sloppily written, poorly acted, and lacks any semblance of an inspired comedic spark.
“Maestro”
A pretentious, clichéd, overly dramatic, and flimsy biopic that’s a textbook case of a filmmaker who is more in love with himself than his subject.
“Menus-Plaisirs Les Troisgros”
One of the best films about food ever made, this documentary is fun, insightful, and a must-see for anyone who admires the artistry of cuisine.
“Widow Cliquot”
Inspiring, rousing, and romantic, this biopic about a visionary young widow who built a champagne empire is a historical drama for wine lovers that’s best watched with a glass of bubbly in hand.
“Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget”
There’s a goofy charm to the look and feel of the project that should delight animation fans, but this sequel lacks the playful inventiveness and breezy wit of the original.
