A well-written, well-acted, intelligent, funny movie about people trying to do their best, while being unsure if there’s a point.

Master Gardener
While this definitely doesn’t fall into the excellent category, it is a thoughtful adult drama, with a tremendous performance at its center.

Hypnotic
There are flashes of the twisty fun this could have been here and there, but the result is lazy, sloppily written and surprisingly dull.

Chevalier
Fast-moving and smart, it is a message movie where the message does not come at the expense of entertainment.
