Lee (2024)

6 / 10
A fascinating subject almost always translates into a great story, and director Ellen Kuras‘ “Lee” is blessed with a gripping one. Her biopic about Elizabeth ‘Lee’ Miller may be a little disjointed and slow, but it’s a showcase for exc... Read the full review »

I was thoroughly charmed by the genuine, heartwarming “My Old Ass,” a different kind of coming-of-age film writer/director Megan Park. Blending a time travel fantasy with a teen romance, this is a story that’s filled with humor, wisdom, and... Read the full review »

Director Potsy Ponciroli‘s “Greedy People” is a unique comedic crime thriller that starts off deceptively sunny and quirky, only to plunge into much darker territory as it unfolds. Set in a small, seemingly idyllic seaside town, the film ini... Read the full review »

Director Doug Liman‘s “The Instigators” runs out of steam with a story that doesn’t really go anywhere, which makes the film feel like it’s lacking in substance. Thanks to the chemistry between its leads, this Netflix streamer is decent... Read the full review »

You’ll feel a wide range of emotions when watching co-directors Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson’s “Ghostlight,” a sad and smart comedy / drama that will make you laugh and cry in equal measure. It’s a story about the power of the ar... Read the full review »

Color me thoroughly surprised at how much I was delighted by “Alien: Romulus,” a highly creative, beautifully executed, pulse-pounding science fiction film from director Fede Alvarez. This sequel is a rare gem in the world of big budget franch... Read the full review »

The mediocre romantic comedy “A Family Affair” is a superficial flop for so many reasons. Director Richard LaGravenese tries to create humor out of his slice-of-life Los Angeles-centric tale, but the film is long on gimmicks and short on story... Read the full review »

Director Rich Peppiatt‘s rowdy, frenzied film “Kneecap” is a lively biopic based on the hell-raising Irish rap trio of the same name. You’ve probably never heard of these musicians, but the film celebrates the general sense of anarchy as t... Read the full review »

The taut, intense thriller “Detained” is a small-scale crime film that is surprisingly well done. Director and co-writer Felipe Mucci delivers a well-laid-out story with a gripping mystery, presenting an engaging hook from the start. With bris... Read the full review »

“The Fabulous Four” suffers from such an identity crisis that it feels like a tale of two movies. The first hour is goofy, lazy, and falls almost completely flat, while the second half redeems itself with a heartfelt sincerity. It’s a sweet... Read the full review »

“Fly Me to the Moon” is so generic and sanitized that it feels like a blanket, sterilized television sitcom designed to appeal to the masses in middle America. Director Greg Berlanti‘s throwback romance has its moments, but even the chemistr... Read the full review »
