Malcolm & Marie

We see actress Zendaya's face in a still from the movie Malcolm & Marie.

Malcolm and Marie, the people, have their issues. And so does Malcolm & Marie, the film.

Bliss

A man and a woman look at something she's pointing at.

This film seems uncertain whether it most wants to give us a trippy fantasy or a gritty, hard morality tale.

Below Zero

Two men with guns drawn walk through a dark, cold outside area.

Below Zero is a tense, bloody and wildly profane thriller that will undoubtedly keep many viewers on the edge of their seats.

Wild Mountain Thyme

A man and a woman look frustrated, and they're separated by a fence.

This story suggests that attraction and love can take time, work and patience. And they should if you want to get things right.

Palmer

A man and a boy eat at a diner.

If Palmer could’ve kept its nose cleaner, it this would’ve been a harder movie to review. As it is, we can easily suggest a hard pass.

The Little Things

A police officer and a detective stand near a building and a crime scene.

The Little Things needed to pay better attention to some big things.

Cut Throat City

A group of four men in the city walk toward the camera.

Cut Throat City asks but doesn’t fully answer difficult questions about the relationship between poverty and crime.
