Ballerina



The movie doesn't do enough that's either different or more imaginative than anything we've already seen from this franchise.


The Life of Chuck



This is a boldly beautiful and haunting film in which every answer about its narrative only raises more questions about the beginning and end of life, as well as everything in between.


Dangerous Animals



The premise is striking enough—to put it mildly—to grab our attention but doesn't overshadow the other mechanics of the script.


The Ritual



It's an ordinary, wholly predictable exorcism tale.


I Don't Understand You



It takes quite a leap of understanding—both in terms of logic and sympathy—to even try to accept where this movie goes.


Karate Kid: Legends



Karate Kid: Legends is two very different concepts for a reboot/spin-off/sequel, unceremoniously crammed together into an awkward mishmash of a movie.


Bring Her Back



The movie becomes increasingly cruel.


The Phoenician Scheme



The filmmaker encourages us to observe his cast of eccentric characters talking, in action, and quietly wrestling with the story's bigger theme.


Tornado



Tornado is effective because it's a clean and uncomplicated story, told with efficiency and proficiency.


Bono: Stories of Surrender



The very format of the material prevents this movie—not to mention the subject himself—from feeling truly honest on a deeper level.


Lost in Starlight



This is a film that's clearly complex in its visuals, but the real depth of it is how sneakily complex its central relationship becomes.


Fluxx



The questions of this movie are far more intriguing than its answers, which are either too imprecise to make sense or too obvious to really care.


Ghost Trail



Ghost Trail is an effective thriller, to be sure, but mostly because it's one with an overwhelming sense of regret and an active conscience.
