Original and well-developed characters plus efficient plot with just the right balance of action and comedy.
Fanning impressive in a dual role and Trachtenberg confirms he’s the right man to rejuvenate the AvP IP.

Fantastic performance from Johnson and Blunt that are unfortunately wasted on a fragmented script with little stakes, and hardly any character development.
The fights aren’t even directed well enough to be exciting.

A young man suffering from Tourette syndrome struggles to live a normal life.
Excellent biopic, authentic and touching with at its heart a riveting performance by Robert Aramayo.

Cianfrance crafts a movie that switches effortlessly between comedy, suspense and drama.
Tatum gives an award-level career-high performance and Dunst delivers some very nuanced work; both elevating the material to a truly emotional level.

A film with significant cinematic qualities, a clever script and a truly original tone. But, once again, Lanthimos delivers a movie with no clear purpose and lacking an emotional core.

An incompetent angel tries to show a struggling gig worker that his life has meaning.
Nothing stellar but the plot exploits its concept nicely, the film moves at a good pace and the jokes are funny.

Faithful to the original novel, benefiting from modern effects, a solid performance by Dujardin and Kounen’s efficient direction, this version is likely to overtake the 1957 one as the definite adaptation of the work.

Linklater’s love letter to the Nouvelle Vague has little to offer to anyone but the most savvy of movie buffs.
But the film portrays Godard’s ideas with great honesty and recreates a key moment of film history to perfection.

Messy, unfocused and miscast but there are still enough things that happen, clever concepts and some quality effects to keep you moderately entertained, though setting the film mostly in the real world does it no favors.

Excellent concept with an execution that sometimes flags along the way but finishes strong on a shocking ending.
A great cast and a strong subject matter make it the best Palme d’Or of this decade.

A well-picked and talented cast; an interesting ending.
But the premise is clunky, particularly how it sets up its characters and the film as a whole comes across as too ponderous and depressing to be really gratifying.

But the setup can’t shake a by-the-numbers feel and the characters lack the depth necessary for the story to come together.

The film hits a strange middle ground of too wild to be meaningful and too dark to be relatable.
But the switch to a British couple subtly elevates the comedy; as do the acting chops and chemistry of Colman and Cumberbatch.

A classic fairy tale transported to a modern suburban setting, elevated by a brilliant non-linear structure that ends every segment with a cliffhanger.
Everything comes together for a truly satisfying ending, a rare thing in recent horror.

The film ups the ante with a double switch which, while funny in places, can also be a bit confusing.
Mildly entertaining, but never really goes far enough to be truly worth it.

Uninspired sequel mired in endless exposition and aimless plotting.
Because this is really a first act padded to death to be part one of a two-parts sequel, for purely greedy commercial reasons.

Not without technical merits but, mostly following the novel's plot, the film can’t come across as anything else but a lesser rehash of Coppola’s 1992 “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” with nothing significantly new to offer.
