Come Away
I know most children's stories are based on sinister myths which dribbled out of spooky German Brothers Grimm forests, but it’s perplexing to see both Neverland and Wonderland stand upon the shoulders of one family’s emotional meltdown.

Let Him Go
Nobody walks away clean from Let Him Go…especially the audience. Director and screenplay adaptor Thomas Bezucha cakes familiar Western themes of family, loyalty, and standing your ground under suffocating layers of brutality, unease, and a nauseating sense of “there is no way this ends well.”

Come Play
Come Play is a horror movie for our cloistered, pandemic-separated times, but the idea of generating a “through the looking glass” iPad monster is a pretty feeble interpretation of spending too much time playing Candy Crush.

Honest Thief
Honest Thief is a dispiriting let down of what may have been something bordering on intriguing in favor of low-rent action trash and a complete of waste of Liam Neeson’s talents and our time.

Save Yourselves!
A rom-com focused on a couple disconnecting for self-improvement unexpectedly morphs into sci-fi shenanigans. Refreshing to see the unskilled try to survive in the apocalypse, but so many disparate genres stuffed into one quirky story feels like more is less.

Kajillionaire
Kajillionaire has its fair share of laughs and absurd situations to make the audience appreciate the quirk, but poke hard enough beneath those layers, and there is a very stunted and confused girl who has no idea how to interact with the world.

Enola Holmes
Transferring Sherlock talents onto a younger sister is all well and good if it encourages new audiences to employ Enola Holmes as a springboard to some of the more challenging and enigmatic versions out there. Yet, unconnected with the larger Sherlock world, Enola relies more on idiosyncratic quirks and twitchy editing at the expense of a more quixotic mystery to solve. I recognize the mystery is built more for those with far less knowledge of the canon, but any Holmes character comes with certain expectations this script is not sharp enough to meet.

The Social Dilemma
Director Jeff Orlowski proves platforms like Facebook and Twitter are harming our mental health and creating divisions among us we may never recover from. There is a clear indicator the film is effective - I immediately changed some habits.

Charlie Kaufman does Meet the Parents. His version is open to interpretation, is unanchored in time, and has different levels of reality. Still interested Focker?
