Seberg - 1960s race biopic misses mark but delivers captivating performances
SEBERG
1960s race biopic misses mark but delivers captivating performances
While the film shines in its performance, it stumbles from a messy script and lack of focus. It's worth checking out, especially for Kristen Stewart, and to learn about this part of history.
Underwater - A solid subaquatic monster mash
UNDERWATER
A solid subaquatic monster mash
Tense and fun, with cool creatures and jump scares that aren't too obnoxious, the film is a disposable yet entertaining and unpretentious true Hollywood B-movie that is worth a visit to the cinema.

Bad Boys For Life - Whatcha gonna do when there's nothing new
BAD BOYS FOR LIFE
Whatcha gonna do when there's nothing new
'Bad Boys 2' was one of those rare films where the sequel was better than the original, so there were a lot of high hopes riding on #3 - but I'm afraid all those expectations have been crushed.
Meeting Gorbachev - Chatting with a man who changed the world
MEETING GORBACHEV
Chatting with a man who changed the world
When Werner Herzog settles down with his subject, the conversation moves easily from political to personal matters. Herzog is affable and curious, and Mikhail Gorbachev is engaged and on point.

ROMANTIC ROAD
Falling in love with India, the Rolls Royce and each other
This film won't be your cup of tea, but one thing you can't take away from it is its power to inspire you to have your own adventure.
Bombshell - An important yet uninspired look at Fox News’ sex scandal
BOMBSHELL
An important yet uninspired look at Fox News’ sex scandal

A Guide to Second Date Sex - A quintessentially awkward British romantic comedy
A GUIDE TO SECOND DATE SEX

TRUE HISTORY OF THE KELLY GANG
A magnificent deconstruction of the great Australian antihero

LES MISÉRABLES
A remarkably thrilling act of cinematic protest
A remarkable, electrifying and ultimately shattering film, a stellar debut for Ladj Ly, and most importantly, a work that feels necessary. It's a thrilling act of cinematic protest.
The Aeronauts - A thrilling adventure on the edge of the sky
THE AERONAUTS
A thrilling adventure on the edge of the sky
Even with its faults, it knows exactly what kind of film it needs to be and does so with great aplomb. If you can see it on the big screen, don't miss the chance. It deserves to be seen on as big a screen as possible.
