The Fall Guy



The whole project, an adaptation of a 1980s TV series, is a miscalculation.


The Idea of You



There's a real sense of understanding for these two characters.


I Saw the TV Glow



The cumulative effect of I Saw the TV Glow is potent.


Unfrosted



It's all over the place, which is both the point and an inescapable problem.


Jeanne du Barry



An emotional flatness and a thematic hollowness define Jeanne du Barry.


Mars Express



The sights of the animated Mars Express are at times wonderful to behold, but co-writer/director Jérémie Périn's film goes a bit beyond just the spectacle.


Prom Dates



The humor here has an unexpected edge that, unfortunately, succumbs to the idle execution.


Evil Does Not Exist



It's a film that is specific in its details but carries the weight of an environmentalist parable.


The Contestant



As an account of the inhumanity of the exploitation of a real person for questionable entertainment, the film is harrowing.


Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg



Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg treats that second act of her life as an epilogue of sorts, instead of a key component of her biography.


New Life



Once the picture of what's really happening here becomes clear, it only highlights how gimmicky the structure is and how shallow the movie's goals are.


Lost Soulz



The third act tries to force some emotional weight on the cost of such an endeavor, but it's a jarring shift.


Tarot



The movie is a strange concoction of ideas.
