A classic rags-to-riches-to-rags story; a feel-good tale that transforms into a meditation on arrogance and neglect.

The primary sin is not that "Blue Beetle" stinks the way really bad movies do but that it is deeply mired in mediocrity.

The messiest of the three movies and the most narratively fractured, but it should still satisfy those who consider themselves to be fans.

As a snapshot of 20th century history, "Golda" does its job. As something more eloquent and important, the film falls short of its goal.

Not a bad movie but too long and lifeless for what amounts to a two-hour commercial for a three-minute ride.

"The Last Voyage of the Demeter" is a harrowing journey but, for those who appreciate horror, it is well worth taking.

An oversized, big budget popcorn flick, with all the positives and negatives one associates with that sort of glorious but ephemeral brand of filmmaking.

Many of the flaws are more than compensated for by the flashes of brilliance and the strength of the central character’s presentation.

"Past Lives" is quietly powerful – an understated examination of longing, connection, and unconsummated love.

"Retribution" seems especially disappointing because of its untapped potential to be cheesily entertaining.

Shines in its sly observances about Asian American cultural idiosyncrasies even though the overarching narrative at times feels derivative and uninspired.

Provided the viewer is broad-minded enough not to be bothered by a nearly constant stream of profanity, "Strays" offers a kennel of off-color laughter.

It is uncompromising, both in the way it travels a seemingly inevitable trajectory and relies on practical effects to present gruesome imagery.
