Quick Take: EL CAMINO
Fans of the show will appreciate Vince Gilligan’s style, and Aaron Paul is fine, even if the movie feels far from necessary.
Review: PARASITE
It has a phenomenal script that remains flawless throughout.
Quick Take: FRACTURED
The path leading up to the twist feels entirely run-of-the-mill.
Quick Take: MY LIFE AS A COMEDIAN
A moving examination of the far-reaching effects of bullying among schoolchildren, boosted by good performances.
Quick Take: GEMINI MAN
Intense action, but hampered by the film’s ultra-crisp TV movie look.
Quick Take: CATHERINE THE GREAT
Playing lustful, power-hungry people, Helen Mirren and Jason Clarke look like they had fun.
Quick Take: IN THE TALL GRASS
As the forces of the field have an effect on its victims the movie derails, resulting in a chaotic final half hour.
Review: JOKER
Towering above all this is Joaquin Phoenix’s brutally tortured performance as a scarier clown than anything Pennywise can throw at us.
