TheyDream
For all its engaging craftsmanship and declarations of tribute, William Caballero’s “TheyDream” ends up feeling too personal to share.
Reviews
Heartland
An enjoyably pulpy, Nashville-set mystery with country music as the backdrop to a possible crime scene.
Bitter Christmas
In leaning so hard into self-critique, Almodóvar sometimes forgets to include the element that makes his best films so invigorating to watch: A sense of passion.
Victorian Psycho
“Victorian Psycho” is fun enough if you don’t think much about how much more fun it should be.
How to Rob a Bank
Its watered-down radical ideology matches its love for everyday Internet vernacular.
The Body
Entertainingly balances religious horror with the teen-girl melodrama of something like “Gossip Girl” or “Pretty Little Liars.”
In Waves
What gives “In Waves” its weight is a restrained animation style that anchors the film’s emotional center.
Nuisance Bear
The pacing suffers from indecision and a wandering eye, but the impact of the discussion remains after the film’s end.
Hen
Lays bare the absurd detachment slowly creeping into our shared humanity, and our increasingly severed connection with the natural world.
Ramayana: Rise of a Legend
There’s something uniquely disorienting about watching a ton of money thrown at movie screens without any proportionate human warmth or craftsmanship.
