Lotfy Nathan’s #TheCarpentersSon is an intriguing horror take on scripture. Nicolas Cage performs well as Joseph to Noah Jupe’s Jesus.
Although it offers a glimpse into his teenage years, it’s a tense but tame thriller that fails to add anything new to the legend of Christ.

Okay, #Keeper is Osgood Perkins’ most chilling film to date. Tatiana Maslany absolutely slays it as the unsuspecting victim of the ultimate haunted house.
It’s a slow burn, but with its creepy, isolated setting, unnerving tone & nerve-shredding jump scares, it’s nail biting fun.

Jon M. Chu’s #WickedForGood is a phenomenal but flawed finale. Despite the TOUR DE FORCE performances of its two leads, the plot is quickly muddled by its conveniences tempering any brilliance it worked to establish.
It’s bold, and breathtaking, but frustratingly flawed. 🩷💚

Edgar Wright’s #RunningManMovie is an absolute blast. Although Wright’s signature style feels tempered, Glen Powell leads with his signature brilliance. Fast, slick, violent and often hilarious, the film is a fun rollercoaster ride that upholds the quality of King’s masterwork.

Dan Trachtenberg’s #PredatorBadlands is an epic spectacle that takes us on a deep dive into Yautja mythology.
More sci-fi epic than a traditional Predator film, it takes some big swings that don’t always land. Despite its bold approach, legacy fans may be left disappointed.

Josh Boone’s #RegrettingYouMovie is a charming rom-com with a heartbreaking twist.
Mckenna Grace, Mason Thames, & Allison Williams all perform well, but it quickly slips into the formulaic rom-com trope and plods along to its poignant but generic conclusion. Heartwarming fun!

Rowan Athale’s #Giant is an eye-opening, compelling boxing story. Pierce Brosnan delivers a stellar performance as legendary boxing trainer Brendan Ingle.
The film explores the highs and lows of Prince Naseem Hamed’s rise in a gripping, poignant and often surprising story. #LFF
