By trying too hard to be gritty, complex, and profound, this lackluster Western ends up bringing very little to the table.
“The Wild Robot”
An epic and heartwarming animated adventure about love, adaptation, family, and connection.
“Le Mohican”
This too-familiar tale of defiance and survival offers very little in terms of a compelling narrative.
“Binary”
A fresh, unsettling narrative that makes the most of its body horror and psychological thriller elements.
“Maria”
The main reason this biopic works is because Jolie gives it her all. Even when it becomes too melodramatic, it’s hard not to be moved by her performance.
“Anora”
A flawed but compelling story about a woman reclaiming her agency and finding something profoundly human in a world that seeks to strip her of it.
