The Vast of Night
Expertly weaves together amateur sleuth characters, late ‘50s production design, camera movements to emphasize place and storytelling, and stirs it up in a Twilight Zone pot. Andrew Patterson creates a masterpiece of suspense and wonder.

The Trip to Greece
The schtick and tête-à-tête between the pair as they poke at one another is the exact same routine they pulled off nearly 10 years ago, only the balcony views have changed. Winterbottom and company are coasting, but the humor remains top shelf.

Lucky Grandma
Presenting itself as oddball and left field, Lucky Grandma is not as wry as it thinks it is. Boilerplate plot and the laborious way it unfolds offsets the authentic Chinatown setting leaving the audience with only indifference by the end.

How to Build a Girl
If How to Build a Girl feels a bit too familiar to American audiences, it is because we saw Beanie Feldstein in Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart first, a film also about a precocious, yet socially alienated, teenager who could convince you she was either 15 or 35. Most interesting when it depicts a young girl simultaneously discovering rock and roll and her narrative voice, but the inevitable conscience crises and identity issues are more stock than revelatory.

Deerskin
From the provocateur who gave us a homicidal car tire with telekinetic powers to explode people's heads, comes a new avant-garde epic about the power of inanimate objects. This vintage, fringed, deerskin jacket has "killer style" and a dream - best not to get in its way.

True History of the Kelly Gang
While director Justin Kurzel laces the story with a punk rock edge and the ensemble cast provides spicy performances, it offers little in the way of finer details as so many broad strokes regarding heritage, identity, and even homoeroticism dominate the hardly true at all tale.

Selah and the Spades
Selah and the Spades teases a juicy tale of high school factions and boarding school realpolitik, but it sheds its sharp edge offering forced high school melodrama we can find from any number of YA faucets.

Butt Boy
For what wants to be farce and satire, the filmmaking is earnest, the characters have depth and emotional conflicts, but you know, there is only so much one can do to avoid the hole…you know, the plot hole. What did you think I meant?

Never Rarely Sometimes Always
Writer/director Eliza Hittman shows us the system for pregnant, poor, rural girls without resources and options. It is all too believable there are thousands of Autumns out there and this is the shadowy world they must navigate due to a cacophony of decisions made by countless figures they will never meet.

Blow the Man Down
This Maine seaport set crime noir is far too linear and no-nonsense to spur much mystery. The biggest twist is there isn't one.

The Hunt
If experiencing a film where political opponents finally step out from behind their keyboards and start killing each other is what America needs to return to a more civilized tone, then The Hunt is a uniter, not a divider.

First Cow
Kelly Reichardt is an idol in the world of independent film and First Cow will earn her even more acolytes who relish her more sedate and contemplative filmmaking style. These are not codewords for still and slow. Even though the cast is small, is dominated by the landscape, and the plot revolves around what must be one confused bovine, First Cow weaves a compelling tale and will make you wonder at mankind’s transformation of nature in a more somber manner.

Extra Ordinary
Here’s hoping Extra Ordinary finds itself the niche audience it so richly deserves and achieves a sort of cult classic status. The jokes are quotable and I can see audience members pleading with their friend groups to take a chance on such an oddball experiment. What better way to help a sort of “keep it weird” culture fight back against yet another Ghostbusters remake.
