Love
Hurts
|

The
second act just
sort of grinds everything to a halt.
|

Heart
Eyes
|

The gulf between what we expect from a horror
movie and from a romantic comedy is deep and wide. The movie never finds a way to
bridge that gap.
|

Bring
Them Down
|

Just as there are no real villains here, there
are neither thrills nor righteousness in these actions—just the deeds of sad,
lonely, and desperate men who know nothing else.
|

Dark
Nuns
|

Dark Nuns begins
with some surprisingly compelling and subversive elements. Familiarity takes over,
though.
|

Parthenope
|

It must be something of a feat for a filmmaker
to make us spend more than two hours with a character and somehow reveal nothing
of note about that person.
|

Renner
|

With little else established
or developed or to think about except the restricted parameters of the plot, we
just wait for the other shoe to drop.
|

Suze
|

The surprise of Suze is how this
sitcom-like premise results in a story so warm and compassionate about its
characters.
|

Jazzy
|

The movie's perspective is fundamentally compelling. The story and
characters aren't quite as much, however.
|

Kinda
Pregnant
|

The debacle of Kinda Pregnant is only surprising in just how stagnant it is in its attempts at comedy and how
phony it is when trying to be sincere.
