Entertaining but not thought-provoking, and never fully commits to the depth its premise seems to promise.

“Boy Kills World”
A total assault on the senses in the form of a weird, violent thrill ride that’s cool in bloody bursts but ultimately feels empty.
“The Brutalist”
Boring, overly theatrical, and weighed down by a miscast performance from Felicity Jones, this film is epic in scope, but not in execution.
“The Exiles (Los Tortuga)”
A deeply introspective drama that captures the emotional weight of grief and the complexities of familial love.
“The Fire Inside”
An inspiring coming-of-age sports story and a reminder of the challenges faced by athletes from less privileged backgrounds.
“Nutcrackers”
There is nothing redeeming about this half-hearted drivel. This is absolute garbage that fails to live up to even the lowest of low expectations.
