Magic happens when a razor sharp script meets great performers under the helm of a confident director, and “Fair Play” has all three in spades.
Browsing: in theaters
“Blue Beetle” is a ton of fun, and hits all the right beats of good time at the movies even if those beats are familiar to most.
“Gran Turismo” overcomes its cliche ridden narrative to deliver an engaging, high octane thrill ride, one that soars when it hits the track with stylish action set pieces, elevated performances, and is executed well enough to really leave you on the edge of your seat.
“Barbie” is a catharsis shrouded in biting satire and vibrant imagination, and will stick with you longer than you might expect and just may have you doing some much needed soul searching.
“No Hard Feelings” is basic in its approach but effective thanks to the hilarious performance from Jennifer Lawrence.
The running joke throughout “Fury of the Gods” is that Billy Batson/Shazam lacks the Wisdom of Solomon. Apparently so does this sequel.
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” is an incredibly moving, deeply vulnerable exposé of art, addiction, and activism, and serves as a powerful voice for the marginalized and suffering.
“Women Talking” is very much what the title suggests, but it is what they have to say about what has been done to them and what they plan to do about it that makes it one of the most captivating and thoughtful films of the year.
The Fabelmans” proves that the legendary filmmaker still has a lot left to say about himself and his work.
“The Banshees of Inisherin” lives up to the hype in just about every single way, delivering a near masterpiece tragicomedy powered by impeccable filmmaking and devastating performances.
