No Other Choice
(2025)
|
Katie Walsh
|
No other living filmmaker could so elegantly dance the line between bleak, absurd, devastating and slapstick like he does in his 10th feature film and latest masterpiece.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)
|
Katie Walsh
|
Garland juxtaposes faith and reason and how they oppose one another in a world where the foundations and "order" have been torn asunder. Believing in something bigger than ourselves can feel comforting even if it's false.

Offers up a proudly, even defiantly optimistic view of what comes after disaster, which can serve for the viewer as either cathartic fictional balm, or Pollyanna-ish fantasy — pick your poison.

In this anxiety-riddled portrait of the corrosive nature of American capitalism, sports is merely the vessel, but it's still the kind of movie that will make you want to stand up and cheer.

His anti-colonialist, pro-indigenous cri de coeur is inspiring, if a bit on the nose, but we can forgive that, because the visual spectacle is just so breathtakingly beautiful, the emotional stakes palpable, and the intention is so earnest.

Feig stylishly waltzes us through this steamy, twisty mystery with ease, but not necessarily sophistication — this is the kind of frothy entertainment that you can still enjoyably comprehend after a glass or two.

it is at times terrifying to be asked to dive into the cracked psyche of a brilliant but troubled mind with such immediacy and presence. How do you solve a problem like Grace? You can’t. She’s not a problem that wants to be solved.

Roofman is predominantly a one-man showcase for the full range of Tatum's talents, but the entire ensemble is crucial for any good caper. Dunst's prowess pushes his own performance, while Peter Dinklage offers levity as the stern store manager Mitch.
