Memory
Memory is an interesting movie that doesn’t have as much to say about its subject matter as it first seems.

Night Swim
Anything can work in this genre if the filmmakers can figure out how to inject tension into it. Here, they never did.

Ferrari
There is a detachment to the protagonist that extends to Ferrari as a whole.

Poor Things
It is a compelling story, very well-directed, with excellent performances and a clever, almost fairytale-like, design.

The Boys in the Boat
There isn’t a shred of creativity, originality or filmmaking skill in its two hours.

The Iron Claw
The result is a good movie that doesn’t have enough feeling (besides sadness) to be great.

Wonka
Instead of being the lazy fan-service I feared, it is a legitimately entertaining family-friendly adventure.

American Fiction
A clever, thoughtful, funny, satirical comedy.

Eileen
The sum of its parts may be greater than its whole. Still, this is an enjoyably low-key genre entry that values character over twists.

The Boy and the Heron
It is touching, thought-provoking and, if this does prove to be the final cinematic treat we receive from this legend, a worthy goodbye.
