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.
