Longlegs
Osgood Perkins effectively generates tension in individual scenes, but can’t quite sustain it throughout.

Fly Me to the Moon
A rom-com way too light on rom and too restrained with its com.

Kinds of Kindness
This extremely dark comedy anthology is definitely a return to writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos' more disturbing form.

Maxxxine
None of the three movies in this trilogy may reach greatness on their own, however, this is a fantastic total package.

Daddio
It doesn’t always hit its mark, but Daddio isn’t boring.

Ghostlight
This isn’t about acting; it is about taking a step forward, when that is the most difficult thing in the world. This is a beautiful story.

Thelma
Thelma works so well because Josh Margolin undoubtedly loves this character and allows June Squibb to make her three-dimensional.

Inside Out 2
The classic era of Pixar, where everything they made was gold, is probably gone for good. However, they still make solid entertainment.

The Watchers
The movie itself isn’t particularly scary, but the setup, unsettling location and pacing went a long way in keeping my attention.

The Dead Don't Hurt
The Dead Don’t Hurt is clearly the work of a filmmaker getting to make what he wanted. The result is admirable, if generally just okay.
