Happy Death Day 2U

The pic’s sarcastic treatment of suicide, paired with its misogynistic deadliness, makes it even more disquieting than the original.

Alita: Battle Angel

Alita feels both more adult and, in some ways, less mature than your typical PG-13 actioner.

Isn’t It Romantic

This satirical rom-com’s occasional redemptive moments are frequently undermined by its raunchy ones.

Cold Pursuit

This bloody thriller grins bleakly and satirically at the revenge films Liam Neeson has been starring in for the last decade or so.

What Men Want

What do men really want? This film’s answer to that question isn’t flattering at all.

To Dust

To Dust is one of the strangest and, in its own way, truest depictions of grief I’ve ever seen on film.

The Prodigy

This horror film kills with abandon, mutilates with gusto and has absolutely nothing at all to say.

Miss Bala

The likeable Gina Rodriguez, this film’s star, deserves better, quite frankly. But Miss Bala misses the mark.

Velvet Buzzsaw

As its title hints, Velvet Buzzsaw is gory, brutal, disturbing and shallow.

Arctic

Director Joe Penna’s snowbound story of calamity and heroic survival is intense, immersive and emotionally exausting.
