"Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" should be embraced as a kind of 21st-century Jane Austen novel. Instead, Linklater inadvertently reduces it to a rather perfunctory self-help book. And that's not funny.
If you're having a hard time imagining a full-length movie of Dora, I don't blame you. I felt the same way before I saw "Dora the Explorer and the Lost City of Gold."
Sword of Trust is yet another collaboration between Marc Maron and director Lynn Shelton, about an antique sword at the center of this conspiracy comedy.
"Spider-Man: Far From Home" proves to be the perfect antidote to Endgame hangover. It's light and airy, it's high school funny, and it's very, very meta.
Well, albeit far from a failure, Yesterday does fail to live up to its pedigree and its promise. The only thing that really holds up is the music. And that music makes up for a lot.
"Toy Story 3" was such a perfect capper to a perfect animated trilogy. Even so, the actual "Toy Story 4" is near enough to perfection to make me take back my reservations.
'Rocketman' is full of embarrassing story-telling cliches and simplistic psychology but it's also punctuated with musical numbers that break the too-tidy narrative and give it some imaginative breadth.
I blame Jordan Peele. The brilliant director of "Get Out" and "Us" has recently raised my expectations of what genre pictures can deliver. Peele managed to take stock horror material and elevate it by infusing it with sociological and political import.
"Avengers: Endgame" may very well set the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend in American history. If so, it will have earned every dollar.
A relatively low budget British film called "Teen Spirit" covers familiar singing competition ground, but it does so with such a melancholy air that it seems almost fresh.
High Life is a work of art. It's a work of art that you really have to work at to appreciate, since it makes very few concessions to its audience regarding storyline or characters.
It's risky to remake a much-loved animated feature like "Dumbo," especially if its a live action film. But Disney pulls it off with a well-executed expansion of the story.
"Us," the new Jordan Peele film, is heady horror. Like his first film, "Get Out," it's a horror film that has a lot more on its mind than a few scares.
"Five Feet Apart" has set itself a near impossible task: Be a teen romance involving an incurable and often fatal disease that isn't unbearably cloying.
While not in the league of Avengers: Infinty War or Black Panther, Captain Marvel still manages to deliver on thrills for Brie Larsen's debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
