The sentimentality and mawkishness that undermine many “heartbreaking” YA romances is kept at bay.

U.S. Release Date: 2020-05-08
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama
Director: Lara Jean Gallagher
Cast: Otmara Marrero, Sydney Sweeney, Sonya Walger, Will Brittain

The way in which it is presented by first-time feature director Lara Jean Gallagher is slow, awkward, and pretentious.

Run Time: 1:50

MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Musical
Director: Tom Hooper
Cast: Francesca Hayward, Judi Dench, Ian McKellan, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, James Corden, Rebel Wilson, Laurie Davidson

An individual’s appreciation may rest on a previous love of the stage play; others are more likely to throw up a hairball than purr in contentment.

U.S. Release Date: 2019-07-12
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: Alexandre Aja
Cast: Kaya Scodelario, Barry Pepper

An old-fashioned B-grade monster movie made with 2019 technology.

Run Time: 1:30
U.S. Release Date: 2019-06-21
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Lars Klevberg
Cast: Aubrey Plaza, Gabriel Bateman, Brian Tyree Henry, Tim Matheson, David Lewis, Mark Hamill

This remake is not only worse than the first film, but worse to the point of unwatchability.

This example of prepackaged horror is so by-the-numbers that even the jump-scares don’t cause much of a jump.

Run Time: 1:43
U.S. Release Date: 2019-03-29
MPAA Rating: "NR"
Genre: Drama
Director: Michael Engler
Cast: Elizabeth McGovern, Haley Lu Richardson, Miranda Otto, Blythe Danner, Campbell Scott, Victoria Hill, Robert Fairchild

Despite being blessed with well-designed period sets and top-tier acting, this collaboration between writer Julian Fellowes and director Michael Engler is dramatically inert.

Run Time: 1:50
U.S. Release Date: 2019-03-15
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Torture, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Science Fiction/Thriller
Director: Rupert Wyatt
Cast:

A weird cross between "District 9" and "The Battle of Algiers" that doesn’t do either of those apparent inspirations justice.

There’s plenty of visual pizzazz and action but the movie is geared more for those interested in getting their MCU fix than being fully immersed in a unique superhero experience.

The gallows humor is pervasive, giving the production, which sometimes crosses over a line into outright parody, a quirky tone.
