This unsettling new coming of age drama is a daring, uneven mix of “Black Swan” and “Whiplash” that doesn’t quite manage to stick the landing.

Steven Spielberg's latest is a strong, confident return to familiar territory that employs emotional wonder and propulsive urgency to tell a story that feels both classic and current. While it doesn’t quite reach the heights of the director's greatest work, it's still a smart, heartfelt studio movie with real craft and personality.

This relatable third-wheel buddy comedy is built on a silly, drug-fueled premise and given heart thanks to a genuinely moving performance by comedic actor Harvey Guillén.

This latest take on the 1980’s Saturday morning cartoon is a visually vibrant, deeply affectionate dive into fan service that shines brightest through bold production design and delightfully campy villain performances from Jared Leto and Alison Brie, but it’s ultimately held back by a wildly uneven tone, flat digital effects, and a disjointed script that leaves its heroic faction trapped between earnest fantasy and modern parody.

This documentary about the unique challenges facing Greenland’s amateur football teams will immerse you in the vibes of a small sports club, and the contrast makes for excellent watching in the run up to the World Cup.

This warm, low-key transatlantic dramedy starring Paul Rudd as a wedding singer whose deeply personal ballad is stolen by a stagnating pop superstar (Nick Jonas) brings surprising realism and strong ensemble performances to a sharp, witty script, delivering a genuinely comforting blend of effective comedy and unforced emotional stakes. It's a music-driven journey well worth taking.

Director Anthony Maras overcomes technical constraints and some first-time-at-this-scale inexperience to deliver an engaging, cerebral addition to the WWII cinematic canon based on the play by David Haig and heavily elevated by brilliant performances from Andrew Scott, Chris Messina, and Kerry Condon.

This adaptation of the popular Prime Video series offers a functional but ultimately underwhelming theatrical experience that pales in comparison to the franchise's classic films, sacrificing intelligent espionage and arriving frustratingly short on both firepower and originality.

This blood-soaked video-game sequel leans on Karl Urban’s entertaining Johnny Cage performance, Josh Lawson’s reliable Kano comedy, inventive fight choreography and a generally committed supporting cast, but its bloated plot and thin villainy keep it from becoming more than a solid, crowd-pleasing diversion.

This surreal family-friendly whodunnit is warm, humane, and approachable with its stellar ensemble cast bringing plenty of charm to the quirky tale of a flock of sheep who set out to solve a murder. Beneath its playful surface the film explores surprisingly weighty themes that give it a resonance far beyond the average kids' adventure.
