Morbius
Not only is it superhero formula, it is really dull superhero formula put together in a way that doesn’t bother to be fully coherent.

Turning Red
Turning Red may not quite be top shelf Pixar, but it is a pretty good example of what they do better than everybody else.

The Batman
Very dark, fascinating, sometimes excellent; However, it also drags something fierce, especially in the middle and again at the end.

Cyrano
This is a decent adaptation of the material in most ways, except for Peter Dinklage’s performance, which raises it to a higher level.

The Worst Person in the World
It is amusing, whimsical, sad, funny and touching. This is absolutely one of the best movies of 2021.

Death on the Nile
It simmers too many times when it should be boiling over. Regardless, it is generally entertaining, even if it’s not particularly memorable.

Flee
The animation never becomes a distraction or softens this harrowing tale. The result feels like the perfect way to tell this moving tale.

The Lost Daughter
A tremendously compelling writing/directing debut, featuring one of the best performances of 2021.

The Matrix Resurrections
Wachowski has made a commentary on modern entertainment that happens to be in a sequel that sort of builds on franchise mythology.

Nightmare Alley
The look of the movie is impressive because of how unshowy it is, though a lot of thought has obviously been put into every frame.
