To All the Boys: Always and Forever

This threequel is cleaner than many movies and shows of its kind but still messy despite its positive messages.
Malcolm & Marie

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

This film seems uncertain whether it most wants to give us a trippy fantasy or a gritty, hard morality tale.
Trafficked: A Parent’s Worst Nightmare

Trafficked depicts an admittedly “mild” version of the horrors of sex-trafficking, taming this important story to PG-13 levels.
Below Zero

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

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

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

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

Cut Throat City asks but doesn’t fully answer difficult questions about the relationship between poverty and crime.
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
