      3/5
      		Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) Hope Madden The result is a perfectly entertaining, thoroughly good natured opportunity to see Helen Mirren beat the tar out of some kids.
      Posted Mar 16, 2023
      3/5
      		Leave (2022) Hope Madden Herron’s atmosphere makes the safe look seedy and the dangerous appear benign, but there is more depth to the tale than that.
      Posted Mar 15, 2023
      2.5/5
      		Unwelcome (2022) Hope Madden It’s not without its charm. Meaney and his crew turn in excellent performances and generate some honest laughs. But the film itself is a mess.
      Posted Mar 08, 2023
      3.5/5
      		Unseen (2023) Hope Madden The film takes aim at casual racism, gaslighting and toxic white privilege but never lets anger overshadow the central relationship.
      Posted Mar 06, 2023
      2.5/5
      		Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre (2023) Hope Madden Everything feels more like a brainstorming session than a finished film.
      Posted Mar 01, 2023
      3.5/5
      		Cocaine Bear (2023) Hope Madden For a very dark comedy, Cocaine Bear is light entertainment. It’s hard to imagine expecting anything more.
      Posted Feb 23, 2023
      2.5/5
      		Nocebo (2022) Hope Madden Nocebo doesn’t pack the punch it intends to, the point-of-view sleight of hand limiting the impact. It’s not the body horror promised by the catalyst, either. Instead, it’s a muddled if well-performed tale that leans heavily on an idea that needs to die.
      Posted Feb 23, 2023
      3.5/5
      		Emily (2022) Hope Madden O’Connor breathes life with all its chaos, misery and joy into the Brontës’ 19th century. Emily feels less like the vision of a newcomer than the product of a passionate kindred spirit.
      Posted Feb 22, 2023
      4.5/5
      		Calvaire (2004) Hope Madden Writer/director Fabrice Du Welz’s script scares up the darkest imaginable humor. If David Lynch had directed Deliverance French, the concoction might have resembled Calvaire.
      Posted Feb 20, 2023
      1.5/5
      		Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023) Hope Madden Whatever the film’s many – almost countless – flaws, Frake-Waterfield deserves tremendous credit for seeing an opportunity and seizing it.
      Posted Feb 16, 2023
      3.5/5
      		Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022) Hope Madden Her maternal nightmare is bright and decisive, pulling in common genre tropes only long enough to grant entrance to the territory of a central metaphor.
      Posted Feb 15, 2023
      2.5/5
      		Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Hope Madden There are some big ideas here, and the attempts at world-building are ambitiously borrowed, but much the same as its unlikely Avenger, Quantumania comes up small.
      Posted Feb 14, 2023
      3/5
      		Orchestrator of Storms: The Fantastique World of Jean Rollin (2022) Hope Madden They build a picture of a humble, kind man driven to exercise his imagination. And, as the film rightly points out, there are times when that imagination delivered amazing product.
      Posted Feb 13, 2023
      3.5/5
      		Esme, My Love (2022) Hope Madden Esme, My Love possesses a brooding, nightmarish quality that, along with the two performances, keeps you guessing and interested.
      Posted Feb 12, 2023
      2.5/5
      		Consecration (2023) Hope Madden The scenery is gorgeous and there is an interesting time/space twist that’s a bit of good fun. But it’s not quite enough to salvage a tired idea told with pretty images and little enthusiasm.
      Posted Feb 09, 2023
      3.5/5
      		Attachment (2022) Hope Madden Attachment delivers slow-burn horror that repays close attention but never falls to gimmickry.
      Posted Feb 07, 2023
      2/4
      		Poor Agnes (2017) Hope Madden It's an alarmingly natural, more alarmingly believable portrait of a psychopath. It's probably reason enough to see the film.
      Posted Feb 06, 2023
      4/5
      		Remember This (2022) Hope Madden Hutchens’s camera is subtle but its fluidity in orchestration with lighting, Roc Lee’s sound design, and Strathairn’s movement keep the film from ever feeling stagnant or stage bound.
      Posted Feb 01, 2023
      2.5/5
      		Blood (2022) Hope Madden Had that moral ambiguity felt intentional the film would have been at least provocative. The fact that it does not is alarming, but not in a way that makes the film more enjoyable.
      Posted Jan 31, 2023
      4/5
      		Infinity Pool (2023) Hope Madden Writer/director Cronenberg takes us on a strange journey through privilege, debauchery, entitlement, boredom, narcissism, psychotropic drugs and more in his trippy new flick, Infinity Pool.
      Posted Jan 26, 2023
      2.5/5
      		Maybe I Do (2023) Hope Madden Maybe I Do is unabashedly romantic, deeply traditional, well-meaning and tired. So tired. But at least you get to see four tremendous actors riff off each other for 90 minutes.
      Posted Jan 26, 2023
      3.5/5
      		The Son (2022) Hope Madden Its insights are stale, its twists manipulative. The film delivers a classy melodrama, but nothing more.
      Posted Jan 18, 2023
      3/5
      		There's Something Wrong with the Children (2023) Hope Madden The most intriguing thing about this film is its stance on motherhood.
      Posted Jan 18, 2023
      3.5/5
      		Legions (2022) Hope Madden At its core, Legions is a fantasy about regaining the respect of your adult children, and because of that, it’s both relatable and touching.
      Posted Jan 18, 2023
      4/5
      		EO (2022) Hope Madden It’s an emotionally exhausting journey, equal parts wonder and pessimism, and it is absolutely unlike any other movie with a dachshund or donkey. It’s unlike any other movie, period.
      Posted Jan 12, 2023
      3/5
      		Candy Land (2022) Hope Madden Candy Land is a tough film to recommend for a number of reasons, but it’s worthwhile viewing if only because Swab upends every expectation, instead taking us inside a horror grounded in something surprisingly human.
      Posted Jan 05, 2023
      3.5/5
      		Corsage (2022) Hope Madden In the end, it’s the film’s and Krieps’s humanity ­that make the final moment of freedom feel earned and victorious rather than fraught with compromise.
      Posted Jan 03, 2023
      4/5
      		Women Talking (2022) Hope Madden With nuanced writing and what may be 2022’s finest ensemble, Women Talking, the latest from filmmaker Sarah Polley, delivers quiet, necessary insight.
      Posted Dec 22, 2022
      3/5
      		They Wait in the Dark (2022) Hope Madden Thanks to sly maneuvering of genre expectations and a handful of uncomfortable scenes, They Wait in the Dark leaves an impression.
      Posted Dec 21, 2022
      4/5
      		Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) Hope Madden Puss’s existential crisis drives this imaginative, often hilarious adventure, but it does more than that. It anchors all the derring-do with earnest emotion and recognizable struggle.
      Posted Dec 21, 2022
      3/5
      		Scare Package II: Rad Chad's Revenge (2022) Hope Madden Being in on the joke, as always, makes the gag more satisfying. But that’s the basic premise of every story told in this collection.
      Posted Dec 20, 2022
      4/5
      		Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle (2021) Hope Madden Onoda becomes not just an anomaly, an oddity, but an image of a generation lost and a promise forgotten.
      Posted Dec 15, 2022
      4/5
      		Utama (2022) Hope Madden Beautiful beyond measure but never showy, deliberate, and set among elderly people of a tiny community high in the hills of Bolivia, a film like Utama feels impossible.
      Posted Dec 15, 2022
      3/5
      		Spoiler Alert (2022) Hope Madden Rather than creating a narrative thread or even an interesting gimmick, the TV angle distracts – sometimes quite frustratingly – from what otherwise feels like a very honest and necessary look at love.
      Posted Dec 09, 2022
      3/5
      		Empire of Light (2022) Hope Madden This film can offer the exquisite Colman and a stellar ensemble, and that’s just enough.
      Posted Dec 09, 2022
      3.5/5
      		The Harbinger (2022) Hope Madden What he sees is the way lockdown, hivemind, misinformation and isolation made people forget who they were.
      Posted Dec 01, 2022
      3.5/5
      		Nanny (2022) Hope Madden But, even for its diabolical sirens and eight-legged tricksters, it’s Nanny’s naked honesty that makes it so scary.
      Posted Nov 30, 2022
      3.5/5
      		The Inspection (2022) Hope Madden The Inspection is a showcase for the idea that resilience comes from a balance of strength and forgiveness. French finds ways to forgive what to most would be unforgivable.
      Posted Nov 30, 2022
      3.5/5
      		The Eternal Daughter (2022) Hope Madden But none of it feels gimmicky. Rather, it all creates the space for Hogg to rework facts in order to tell difficult, universal truths.
      Posted Nov 30, 2022
      3.5/5
      		Amigo (2019) Hope Madden Martín rushes nothing, and though he leaves breadcrumbs, you’ll never know for sure where he’s leading you.
      Posted Nov 29, 2022
      3.5/5
      		A Wounded Fawn (2022) Hope Madden The final image – unblinking, lengthy, horrible and fantastic – cements A Wounded Fawn as an audacious success.
      Posted Nov 28, 2022
      3.5/5
      		White Noise (2022) Hope Madden It’s a film that might leave you giggling, scratching your head, or convinced that we’re all doomed, but you’ll be damned near helpless against the strange beauty of synchronized shopping.
      Posted Nov 22, 2022
      4/5
      		Bones and All (2022) Hope Madden But Bones and All is less concerned with the carnage left in a wake than in what’s awakening in these characters themselves.
      Posted Nov 22, 2022
      3/5
      		Blood Relatives (2022) Hope Madden The entertaining Blood Relatives delivers a savvy family comedy.
      Posted Nov 22, 2022
      3.5/5
      		Strange World (2022) Hope Madden Often the film feels like it’s trying too hard to correct the stereotypes nourished by generations of children’s entertainment. But there’s a kindness and a sense of forgiveness throughout the movie that does make you yearn for a world like this one.
      Posted Nov 21, 2022
      4.5/5
      		Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022) Hope Madden Everything about the film is so tenderly del Toro, whose work mingles wonder with melancholy, historical insight with childlike playfulness as no other’s does.
      Posted Nov 18, 2022
      4/5
      		Sam & Kate (2022) Hope Madden Le Gallo’s first feature delivers grace and goodwill in ways that are genuinely uncommon. It doesn’t tell a big story, but the story it tells resonates.
      Posted Nov 11, 2022
      3.5/5
      		Slash/Back (2022) Hope Madden Innuksuk has a lot of fun reconsidering John Carpenter’s The Thing – the tale of an invasive species and the terrifying havoc it can wreak ­– from the perspective of four indigenous teens.
      Posted Nov 11, 2022
      4/5
      		Aftersun (2022) Hope Madden The film moves at a languid pace, but Wells repays your patience with a rich and melancholy experience.
      Posted Nov 10, 2022
      3.5/5
      		Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power (2022) Hope Madden It’s important for women to see how the films we love betray us in large ways and small, and perhaps even more important for all of us to see that this is a structured, intentional device that we should notice and change.
