Black Phone 2



Black Phone 2 is a lesser effort than its predecessor, but in its own way, the sequel is almost as admirable as a game.


Truth & Treason



Co-writer/director Matt Whitaker's Truth & Treason arrives at a time when people would do well to take its lesson to heart.


Frankenstein



The film's horror is in the first chapter, but its unexpected payoff in the second half is how much compassion the film brings to its depiction of its monster.


The Twits



The movie, unfortunately, doesn't live up to the promise of its satirical conceit.


Grow



The tone of Grow bounces between silly and sincere.


Blue Moon



The film is equally entertaining, because it is about smart and self-aware people talking to each other with intelligence and understanding, and filled with anguish.


The Mastermind



This film is as quiet and unassuming a heist story as the protagonist himself.


Ballad of a Small Player



The movie ultimately becomes a bit too self-important for its own good.


After All



The movie is finely performed melodrama with flashes of the character-based drama it might have been instead.


Exorcism Chronicles: The Beginning



The narrative of Exorcism Chronicles: The Beginning is constantly torn between setting up some bigger picture and actually telling a story that stands on its own.


Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost



The documentary almost comes across as a misguided act of therapy.


Other



This horror tale goes from routine to ridiculous by the end.


Köln 75



Writer/director Ido Fluk shows a real sense of passion for the music itself and the hands-on work of getting that music in front of an audience.


Delivery Run



Co-writer/director Joey Palmroos struggles to make much of his familiar premise.


Good Fortune



Good Fortune has a fantastic comedic premise, but its execution mostly leaves one hoping someone else might have another try at the conceit one day.
