A predictable, saccharine sweet, formulaic redemption story that’s pretty damn charming.
“Beasts Clawing at Straws”
Serves up a delicious blend of crime noir and black comedy.
“The Little Things”
A by-the-book police procedural drama that doesn’t stand out much, but the talented cast elevates the material.
“The White Tiger”
An intriguing story about ambition, corruption, and the ongoing class struggle in a globalized world.
“Ammonite”
It’s always welcome to see more films that feature strong female characters, but there’s so much here that feels too familiar.
“Our Friend”
A solid drama for those looking to empty an entire box of Kleenex.
