Love, Simon

The more you like a flick, the more it’ll potentially influence you. And Love, Simon aims to influence.

The Hurricane Heist

I think we can all agree that actioners like The Hurricane Heist major in what we might call “the unbelievable factor.”

The Strangers: Prey at Night

This horror flick is exactly what you think it is: would-be killers chasing around would-be victims with sharp things.

Gringo

This dark comedy paints its supposed hero’s south-of-the-border torments in crude and nasty brush strokes.

Thoroughbreds

Thoroughbreds uses its detached female leads to unfold a slow-boiling commentary on our emotionally damaged society.

Death Wish

Death Wish suggests that society’s most troubling issues can best be addressed by the blazing barrel of a vigilante’s gun.

Red Sparrow

This film is emotionally raw, sometimes gruesome, and scattered with wince-inducing interactions.

Game Night

Along with its madcap mishaps, Game Night also slaps viewers upside the head with some less-than-savory stuff.

Every Day

Romantically minimizing the profound reality of gender, as this film does, is a recipe for confusion and heartache.

Annihilation

There’s a lot going on in Annihilation—a tense, freaky, bloody sci-fi rumination on the cyclical nature of life, death and rebirth.
