Bad Times at the El Royale
This grim indie thriller tries to be many things at once—like an unlikely Agatha Christie-Quentin Tarantino mash-up.
Beautiful Boy
Underneath the scars and flaws, underneath the mistakes we make and the falls we take, a tiny glow of our God-given beauty lingers.
A Star is Born
As palpable as these talented actors’ chemistry may be, moviegoers should approach this film with deep caution.
The Hate U Give
Even as it attempts to be fair-minded, this film still comes off feeling one-sided in its treatment of controversial issues.
Night School
Excessive language, a myriad of crude jokes and other problematic content make for a long night at Night School.
Hell Fest
This ridiculous, derivative and predictable carnival of crass carnage might more accurately have been dubbed Dumb Fest.
The Old Man & the Gun
The Old Man & the Gun lingers lazily. It waits for its leathered hero to smile his warm smile while robbing yet another bank.
The House with a Clock in Its Walls
One can only hope that wise parents are scared away from this freaky flick … long before their kids are.
Assassination Nation
This film is literally about showing the worst in all of us, and as explicitly as seems possible.
Life Itself
Life Itself is both beautiful and tragic.
