Without offering more than dialogue, "Women Talking" has difficulty sustaining itself for 104 minutes.

Run Time: 1:43
U.S. Release Date: 2022-11-16
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama/Mystery
Director: Sebastian Lelio
Cast: Florence Pugh, Kila Lord Cassidy, Tom Burke, Elaine Cassidy, Caolan Byrne, Toby Jones, Ciaran Hinds

Despite its strong sense of atmosphere and an intense performance by lead actress Florence Pugh, "The Wonder" is strangely uninvolving.

An example of something that can work well on the written page but loses a lot when condensed and brought to the screen.

Run Time: 1:50
U.S. Release Date: 2021-04-30
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: Stefano Sollima
Cast: Michael B. Jordan, Jodie Turner-Smith, Jamie Bell, Guy Pearce, Lauren London

For something based on a Clancy novel, it’s disappointingly lacking in the author’s trademark complexity and detail. This is pure disposable entertainment – nothing more, nothing less.

Run Time: 2:32
U.S. Release Date: 2020-12-25
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Adventure
Director: Patty Jenkins
Cast: Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, Lilly Aspell

Falls short of its predecessor on a number of levels and suffers from many of the problems that plague superhero sequels.

Many aspects of the production are dated, but the movie has become embedded into the childhood experiences of many Generation X’ers.

Not a lot happens during the course of "The Witches" and that’s part of the problem.

Run Time: 1:23
U.S. Release Date: 2020-04-10
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Drugs)
Genre: Horror
Director: Marc Meyers
Cast: Alexandra Daddario, Maddie Hasson, Amy Forsyth, Johnny Knoxville, Keean Johnson, Logan Miller, Austin Swift

Not enough to expand the movie’s appeal beyond the narrow demographic of fans representing its target audience.

Run Time: 1:45
U.S. Release Date: 2019-08-16
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Drugs)
Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Richard Linklater
Cast: Cate Blanchett, Billy Crudup, Emma Nelson, Kristin Wiig, Judy Greer, Laurence Fishburne, Zoe Chao

Although it suffers from an ungainly structure and uneven pacing, the production as a whole is engaging and uplifting.

Run Time: 1:34
U.S. Release Date: 2019-03-15
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Nudity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Michael Winterbottom
Cast: Dev Patel, Radhika Apte, Jim Sarbh

An intriguing blend of globetrotting neo-noir and road trip plot elements, it often seems on the cusp of greatness without ever getting there.
