'Send Help' Sends a Strong Message
Send Help is a hilarious, gross-out, thrill ride that has something more to think about than its surface values.

With more focus on a single psychological aspect or a little more thrill to the thriller, could the filmmakers really drive home their points about the extent to which a therapist can truly save a life. www.ypareviews.com/blog/2026/1/... A Private Life is in theaters now.
'A Private Life'-Is a Middling Psychological Essay
There’s simply not much for this film to leave itself to remember by other than Jodie Foster speaking fluent French for two hours.

The ending is sequel-bait nonsense. Hopefully, Garland and Boyle have a plan for the third part of this trilogy. Admittedly, this film feels more like an epilogue than a two-parter. But it’s a wonderfully deep one. #28YearsLaterTheBoneTemple www.ypareviews.com/blog/2026/1/...
'28 Years Later: The Bone Temple'-Hate Done Effectively
DaCosta does what she can from the foundation that Danny Boyle built. DaCosta is more of a traditional, methodical filmmaker with commercial sensibilities. The result is an engrossing success. If not ...

'Dead Man's Wire' is a Dull Dog Afternoon
Where the movie should have begun or met its halfway point, it ends. Kind of like what Gus Van Sant did with Milk .

'Is This Thing On?' Performs a Decent Set
It's certainly not a Best Picture contender, no matter how hard Cooper and Netflix try to push it. It's merely okay, which is pretty much the state of Bradley Cooper's directorial career.
