Sometimes we just review new and upcoming releases.
Gatsby with the Dad Jokes
Tim Key provides a masterclass of tragicomic acting in the subtle yet often hilarious The Ballad of Wallis Island, replete with brilliant folk songs.
M3gan 2.0 Is Everything You Want — And More

Despite its beautiful scenery and excellent performances, coastal drama The Salt Path can’t walk its way into a compelling storyline.
It’s a Wonderful Dog!
A great canine acting talent is wasted in The Friend, a tale of Naomi Watts adopting a Great Dane that is heavy on the schmaltz, but lacking in punch.
