'Ballad Of A Small Player' review: "Ballad Of A Small Player is without a doubt beautiful to gaze at, but behind the alluring exterior, there's nothing meaningful to take away from it. Hence, it is a chore to get through."

'A House Of Dynamite' review: "The movie is admittedly watchable because the vivacity is there, but lukewarm themes and hollow characters earn nothing but a lukewarm response and a shrug. It's not sticky enough."

'The Lost Bus' review: "While there are some thrilling and stirring moments in that second half, this story should be a slam dunk for one of the most heart-wrenching rides of the year. Sadly, the writing and acting aren't up to the job."

'The Woman In Cabin 10' review: "That said, the movie was most likely meant to be a trashy thriller with outrageous yet amusing twists, but it's neither fun enough to be enjoyable trash nor clever enough to be thrilling."

'All That’s Left Of You' review: "This is undoubtedly an extremely ambitious and powerful story. It asks tough questions, and it lands an emotional gutpunch or two, but there's love, empathy and tender moments to be found, too."

'Alien: Earth' season 1 review: "Intelligent enough, but above all a pure visual spectacle that doesn't lack ambition, the series gets off to a good start with its first run. Humans should live to see another season."

'The Conjuring: Last Rites' review: "We're haunted by an egregiously hollow and poorly made horror spectacle, as well as a truly terrible director in Michael Chaves. Even Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga cannot save this movie's soul."

'The School Duel' review: "Ultimately, the film is a bit of a hotchpotch in terms of quality, but at least it is a stylistically ambitious and razor-sharp hotchpotch, and so it ends up being rather memorable."

GRIFFIN IN SUMMER is now playing in select cinemas (US).

I don't have a review, but I saw it at Tribeca last, uh, summer & would recommend it. If a fun coming-of-age comedy sounds interesting to you, you might want to head towards your nearest silver screen.

'Hostage' series review: "At the end of the day, this is more or less designed to be harmless algorithm filler—it's decently made fast food that could've, and should've, been more gripping if it had a little bit of flair."
