Knock at the Cabin
Shyamalan makes exciting movies when he gets out of his own way. He mostly does so this time.

Living
It features an excellent lead performance and does justice to the subtle emotions of its moving story.

Missing
Missing may not be fully original, but its pacing and occasionally ingenious use of technology make for a decently-crafted thriller.

The Whale
I found it to be moving, heartfelt and sympathetic, as well as sad. Brendan Fraser is worthy of every ounce of praise.

The Pale Blue Eye
This is a decent, ultimately forgettable, whodunit, pretty fitting for an early January streaming release.

Babylon
The result is bold, uneven, frustrating and entertaining. It may not be great but, since it is so many other fun things, does it need to be.

Avatar: The Way of Water
It is a noticeable step up from the original and makes a return trip to Pandora seem a lot more inviting.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
Though thematically darker than the famous Disney version, it is an inspiring family adventure that del Toro has certainly made his own.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Glass Onion is just as enjoyable of a diversion now as its predecessor was three years ago.

Bones and All
It is approximately 35% love story, 40% coming-of-age story, 25% horror. That blend ends up working quite well.
