TOY STORY 5
“Toy Story 5 shows Pixar at its best, utilizing what has always been its strength: strong characters in a well-thought-out story that can play for kids as well as adults.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
MADDIE’S SECRET
“John Early presents a portrait of a complicated woman whose ambitions exist in perpetual conflict with her terrors and traumas.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
I AM FRANKELDA
“I Am Frankelda breaks the mold in a lot of ways that are satisfying for most of its running time, not looking like any other animation you’re likely to have seen.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
FIND YOUR FRIENDS
“Find Your Friends isn’t so much an unwatchable movie as it is one searching for a purpose. Being shown on a horror streaming service provides even less context.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
TUNER
“It’s a loaded toolbox of a movie, but it doesn’t come with assembly instructions; just a handful of genre cues.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
“To be fair, there isn’t an actor alive who could say a line like, “The arpeggios are a little derivative,” and make it sound natural (or keep me from snorting with laughter when they do).” – John Black, Cinekong
SILENT FRIEND
“Even though they aren’t in the same room, there’s a palpable chemistry between (Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Léa Seydoux) that pulls you into the story to the point where you may not understand what they’re talking about, but you’ll listen just for the hang.” – John Black, Cinekong
THE WIZARD OF THE KREMLIN
“A character study of someone simultaneously bland and monstrous, a literary talent whose instincts for manipulation and domination could quite credibly have inspired the MAGA movement.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
