The Frozen Ground
Just because this crime thriller is based on a true story doesn’t mean it’s easy to stomach.
Irresistible
This movie is less interested in blue-state and red-state ideology than its suggestion that, in some ways, we’ve all been taken in.
Black Panther
Black Panther has a good heart, and it gives us a real hero—strong and honorable and, when possible, even filled with grace.
42
The number 42 is actually more than just the answer to life, the universe and everything. It is also a digit that, on the back of baseball great Jackie Robinson, helped shatter America’s color barrier.
The New Mutants
This is, primarily, a horror movie—with a little bit of John Hughes’ Breakfast Club thrown in for good measure.
Rogue
This is just a very bad movie.
Chemical Hearts
For all of Chemical Hearts’ lessons about teenage love and heartbreak, it’s not a film that most parents would want their teens to see.
The Burnt Orange Heresy
This leisurely paced film declares that our lies, sins and foul choices mark us, painting our worlds in dark, disquieting shades.
The King of Staten Island
The King of Staten Island is funny and authentic and painful and problematic and offensive.
Tesla
For better or worse, Nikola Tesla (as he’s depicted here) is consumed by his quest to transform the world as we know it.
