Ideas alone do not equate to great stories. This hollow, high-concept slog is propped up by a meager peppering of intriguing conceits and supported by virtually nothing resembling storytelling.
Bold and visually stunning, this animated masterpiece is a breathtaking and audacious impressionistic tribute to the famed Dutch artist.
A surprisingly touching journey to capture easily overlooked profundity from the deceptively mundane trappings of daily life.
This unpretentious vignette of genuine, melodrama-free moments is an authentic exploration of mourning and starting anew.
Sometimes greatness is saying what needs to be said when it is imperative to say it. Spielberg's latest is his best film in decades and a timely celebration of hard journalism.
A breathtaking story in her own words with her own footage - that of a fresh-faced researcher dealing with the challenges of her groundbreaking studies as well as the demands of her roles as a wife and mother.
James Franco's magnum opus celebrates and pokes fun at the best "worst" film ever made.
This is a slow burn of a psychological horror flick - one that hints at a darkness within its guileless protagonist.
While not among Woody Allen's worst films, "Wonder Wheel" is far from his strongest offering.
The disappointment of this melancholic meditation on duty and sacrifice is its thoughtful moments are almost lost in a meandering story riddled with questionable plot choices, stuffed into a movie that is longer than it should be.
It is strange to laud a film's strong performances, sharp screenplay and confident direction - and still not love the film as a whole.

The only real mystery is how this whodunnit devolved into something so unsatisfying.

The lastest 'Thor' adventure reboots the franchise with an injecting of humor and redefining the franchise's core mythology.
'Heathers' meets 'Clueless' meets every slasher ever in this outrageously dark and hilariously violent comedy.
The similarities between this British drama and "Brokeback Mountain" only go as far as the basic premise. This patient drama is more nuanced and less melodramatic than Ang Lee's classic.
The perplexing and tedious dramatic thriller moves just too slowly and takes far too long before anything of note happens to gain traction as either a compelling mystery or engrossing drama.
This twisting horror thriller is a battle of wills between an emotionally vulnerable murderer and his unflappable, stoic muse.
Emotionally gripping and at times hard to watch, this is a complete deconstruction of macho self-reliance and an arresting look at coping with trauma.
