The film aims for realism in its depiction of a mental health crisis that’s tearing a family apart, but Zeller’s style leans too heavily on in-your-face aggressiveness and melodrama.
“Women Talking”
A talky film with difficult subject matter, dialogue, and situations, but it’s also a story that is hopeful and empowering.
“X”
A bloody, gory homage to 70s horror flicks that features well-written characters, dry humor, and offers a unique spin on the genre.
“Puss in Boots: The Last Wish”
A visually dazzling swashbuckling adventure with heart, this animated film has just as much substance as it does style.
“RRR”
This international blockbuster has everything: thrilling action sequences, adrenaline-charged stunts, a rousing story, and euphoric Bollywood dance scenes that are nothing short of show-stopping.
“All Quiet on the Western Front”
Features bloody, graphic wartime violence that is necessary rather than gratuitous, and it certainly goes a long way in proving a strong point about the horrific realities of war.
