'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood' film review: Hanks as Mister Rogers is ... fine
The most surprising aspect of this biographical drama is just how tangential Fred Rogers is to this story - but this is less about the famed TV host and more about his approach to life.
'Ford v Ferrari' film review: V-8 powered American exceptionalism
Perhaps the best pair of performances in a 2019 film and breathtaking race sequences ...brilliantly obscure the fact that this race car docudrama is anemic in plot and conflict.
'Greener Grass' film review: Wickedly sharp, absurd comedy satirizes life in the suburbs

'Mister America' film review: Heidecker fans: rejoice! Everyone else: pass.
"Wouldn't it be funny if there was a movie about an accused murderer running for district attorney?" No, apparently it would not be funny - submitted as evidence is the toothless, lazy satirical mockumentary.

'Between Two Ferns: The Movie' film review: Absurd web short makes the leap to feature film
Zach Galifianakis antagonizing A-list celebrities for a surreal talk show/internet short is itself ridiculous. The next-level of ludicrous is to draw that concept out to a feature-length film: behold this absurd comedy.

Even the intriguing and novel notions of this indie drama make this relatively short film feel long and tedious.

Anyone who can make it through the visceral brutality of this film's first act must then endure a gripping but emotionally punishing rebuke of colonialism dressed up as a revenge thriller.
'The Mountain' film review: Goldblum transfixes in a pensive, cold lobotomy drama
This arthouse drama is strongest when it takes in the medieval psychiatric procedure and its staunch evangelist - but quickly loses its focus when it explores other themes and characters.
'Ready or Not' film review: Wickedly fun horror comedy takes aim at the elites
Yes, someone finally made a hide-and-seek movie -- and its simplicity belies the fact that this mystery-thriller is a gleefully evil, sharp and joyfully entertaining ride.
