Chaos Walking
Director Doug Liman uses action/adventure genre conventions to examine the society and mental fault lines created by being able to hear and even see everybody’s thoughts. An original and intriguing premise hamstrung by one-dimensional characters and cat and mouse chases instead of exploration.

The United States vs. Billie Holiday
Andra Day’s performance is phenomenal. This first-time actor seems born for the role and hopefully will garner the levels of attention she deserves. However, director Lee Daniels wants attention to fall on the federal government and how it did one private citizen, a female singer, wrong. He hopes it introduces Billie Holiday’s music to a new generation. He hopes the film will help Billie’s legacy transcend junkie jazz singer and shine a light on someone who was so much more.

Judas and the Black Messiah
In 1969, the FBI assassinated Fred Hampton. More undercover thriller than traditional biopic, director Shaka King paints the picture of how one man almost united the entire minority and disenfranchised spectrum before the government resorted to murder to ensure that did not happen.

Supernova
Harry Macqueen’s Supernova is a slow-roll, country drive of a film with brief pot holes of drama. Macqueen offers a flat structure, a sort of calm before the storm atmosphere, but it keeps his film from leaving a lasting impression. You've never seen early onset dementia so reserved.
