“The Smashing Machine”
As someone who isn’t a fan of MMA, I found watching this movie to be a total chore and a bore.

A disappointing sequel that leans too heavily on tired gags, lazy callbacks, and cameos that exist solely to poke the audience and say, “hey, remember this guy?”

This wholesome, perfectly cast film does the source material justice, creating a timeless coming-of-age-story that brings Judy Blume’s classic book to life.
“Licorice Pizza”
A coming-of-age film that feels casually comforting, like a warm blanket of nostalgia.
“Uncut Gems”
