Copshop shoots up the screen with jovially pitch-black bravado.

“It’s such an easy word: kindness. It’s such a simple thing. It’s a very simple act to find that kindness in your heart.”
– Jonathan Butterell

I adored Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.

Cinderella gave me a headache, and that might be the nicest thing I have to say on the matter.

Habit Habit is something of a 1990s Pulp Fiction–style throwback with female leads who find themselves navigating a True Romance–meets–Sister Act type narrative that is as unwieldy as it is oddly compelling.

While I’m no gamer, Free Guy is one breezily intoxicating expedition into the unknown I wish I could pick up a controller and play for myself, and that’s a compliment.

Kids will undoubtedly disagree with me on Jungle Cruise, and had I watched this one with eight-year-old eyes possibly I’d think differently about all this cartoonish hooey.

Szumowska and Englert have delivered something marvelously peculiar with Never Gonna Snow Again, and watching it with practically little foreknowledge of anything I was about to experience has been one of the more profoundly befuddling joys I’ve had this year.

Jakob’s Wife is one of the better films I’ve seen this year.
