Cocote (2017)

“Getting one's bearings isn't impossible; it's like divining the trick of a Sunday crossword. But Cocote isn't purely academic. It's alternately clinical and sensual.” –

Araby (2017)

“This is a beautiful bummer, giving voice to someone who's barely a number, but only to remind us that most of us are OK not thinking about numbers at all.” –

Believer (2018)

“A better doc would have used its superstar lead as a linchpin, structuring it so that he's absorbed into the cause, gradually upstaged by those directly affected by sanctioned bigotry.” –

It's Such a Beautiful Day (2012)
100%
“It's devastating stuff - no less than a stick figure "Tree of Life" - and it confirms that Hertzfeldt has become "mature" without sacrificing any of his considerable gifts.” –

“Stephen King has inspired plenty of terrible movies before; we guesstimate the number at around 40 to 50. But "The Dark Tower" has to sting.” –

“A purely auteur-driven lark slipped into an era when studios no longer want to work with directors with personality and pesky calls for final cut - a high entertainment with a handmade feel.” –

Atomic Blonde (2017)

“More John Le Carré than "Jane Wick," and less James Bond and more one of the grounded Bond knock-offs. (Think the Harry Palmer films featuring a bespectacled Michael Caine.)” –

“Tiffany Haddish gives the kind of turn - like Michael Keaton in "Night Shift" or Jack Black in "High Fidelity" - that makes you want to see her in everything and wonder why she isn't everywhere already.” –

“It's a savage takedown of the capitalist urge, which forces all of us to ignore the misery upon which our happiness rests - or it would be if its filmmakers had even realized it.” –

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

“At its best, "Valerian" has the dense, madcap rush of a comedic cartoon sci-fi - think "Futurama" or "Rick and Morty," though neither as funny nor as inventive as either.” –

“It's a mess - a Spielbergian heartwarmer that's also an action movie that's also an activist screed that takes on not only capitalism but also animal rights. But that it doesn't all go together is part of the charm.” –
