MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Animated
Director: Elaine Bogan, Ennio Torresan
Cast: Isabela Merced, Jake Gyllenhaal, Marsai Martin, McKenna Grace, Julianne Moore, Walton Goggins, Eiza Gonzalez, Andre Braugher
As generic, made-for-quick-consumption animated productions go, there’s nothing especially bad about "Spirit Untamed." Unfortunately, there’s nothing especially good, either.
U.S. Release Date: 2021-05-28
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Adult Themes)
Genre: Adventure/Comedy
Director: Craig Gillespie
Cast: Emma Stone, Emma Thompson, Joel Fry, Paul Walter Hauser, John McCrea, Emily Beecham, Mark Strong, Kayvan Novak, Kirby Howell-Baptiste
If one puts aside the film’s antecedents, what’s left is an unremarkable family film that lacks a compelling reason to exist.
U.S. Release Date: 2021-05-28
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Gore)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: John Krasinski
Cast: Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, Cillian Murphy, Djimon Hounsou, Scoot McNairy, John Krasinski, Dean Woodward
Krasinski makes the most out of the meager material - the story, limited though it may be, moves like a juggernaut, gaining momentum as it rolls downhill.
U.S. Release Date: 2021-05-21

Genre: Documentary
Director: Luke Holland
Cast: Karl Hollander, Herman Knoth, Franz Spalek, Margarete Schwartz, Karl-Heinz Rinne, Herbert Fuchs, Heinrich Schulze, Klaus Kleinau, Marianne Chantelau, Hans Werk, Otto-Ernst Duscheleit, Friedrich Eder
It’s the words of the men and women giving their “final account” that makes the movie sufficiently important to warrant viewing.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity, Nudity)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: Zack Snyder
Cast: Dave Bautista, Nora Arnezeder, Garret Dillahunt, Theo Rossi, Samantha Win, Raul Castillo, Tig Notaro, Matthias Schweighofer, Omari Hardwick, Ana de la Reguera, Ella Purnell, Hiroyuki Sanada
Snyder takes some chances, doesn’t skimp on the gore, and offers a shock or two.
U.S. Release Date: 2021-05-14
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Joe Wright
Cast: Amy Adams, Anthony Mackie, Jeanine Serralles, Bryan Tyree Henry, Wyatt Russell, Fred Hechinger, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman, Mariah Bozeman
An example of something that can work well on the written page but loses a lot when condensed and brought to the screen.
U.S. Release Date: 2021-05-14
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: Darren Lynn Bousman
Cast: Chris Rock, Samuel L. Jackson, Max Minghella, Marisol Nichols
The "plot" is just an excuse to present long, lovingly-filmed instances of sadism and torture.
