Irréversible
(2002)
|
Tom Cassidy
|
It's impossible to have a good time watching this dizzying French thriller. But it's also impossible to deny the power of writer-director Gaspar Noé's Irreversible.

A Better Tomorrow
(1986)
|
Tom Cassidy
|
Released in 1986, this first iconic collaboration between writer-director John Woo and actor Chow is a gripping action drama that set the template for an entire genre.

My Sister's Bones
(2026)
|
Kat Halstead
|
This is a solid adaptation of Nuala Ellwood's popular thriller, which works well with the differences offered up by the movie format, rather than trying to piece together a book on-screen.

Chhaava
(2025)
|
Ishmeet Nagpal
|
This historical drama fails on nearly every level. Despite extreme violence designed to provoke emotional reactions, Chhaava is paradoxically dull, hampered by an aimless screenplay, plot inconsistencies, and repetitive dialogue.

Sisterhood, Inc
(2025)
|
Barbara Shulgasser
|
The writers just didn't think this one through as the messages are muddled. Sisterhood, Inc. can't decide if it disapproves of an irresponsible 29-year-old, or if it celebrates her quirkiness and individuality.

Child's Play 2
(1990)

Jose Solís

The sequel leans fully into its worst instincts and somehow that's exactly what makes it work. Child's Play 2 is funnier, meaner, and far more comfortable with how much it enjoys being evil.

The Nightingale
(2018)
|
Barbara Shulgasser

For the first 90 minutes, this film is a well-acted drama, though hard to watch for its grim cruelty, violence, racism, and monstrous treatment of not just women and Black people, but of everyone. Then, unfortunately, it goes on another 46 minutes.

Suitcase Killer: The Melanie McGuire Story

This drama takes a definite position on the defendant's guilt—the movie suggests she's guilty—but doesn't show us the evidence that persuades us beyond a reasonable doubt that she did the deed.
