Genre: Drama/Romance
Director: Ry Russo-Young
Cast: Yara Shahidi, Charles Melton, John Leguizamo

Although devoid of sophistication, the frothy love story may win over viewers who are predisposed to enjoy this sort of entertainment.

Run Time: 1:30
U.S. Release Date: 2019-05-17
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama
Director: Wayne Roberts
Cast: Johnny Depp, Rosemarie DeWitt, Danny Huston, Zoey Deutch, Ron Livingston, Odessa Young

Presumably, director Wayne Roberts wants to say something profound but the message is muddled and the means by which it is presented are confused.

There’s a point at which the “more of the same” mantra changes to “been there, done that.”

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (War Violence)
Genre: Drama
Director: Dome Karukoski
Cast: Nicholas Hoult, Lily Collins, Derek Jacobi, Colm Meaney, Harry Gilby, Patrick Gibson, Anthony Boyle, Tom Glynn-Carney

More like the dramatization of an Encyclopedia Britannica entry than a fully rendered movie, "Tolkien" loses sight of the character.

U.S. Release Date: 2019-05-10
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Fantasy/Adventure
Director: Rob Letterman
Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Howard Clifford, Ken Watanabe, Chris Geere

This isn’t a movie, it’s a cog in a multibillion-dollar media empire, a soulless feature-length example of product placement at its most blatant.

Genre: Drama
Director: Ousmane Sembene

A sincere, urgent look at issues that have since metastasized to create problems that plague contemporary Europe.

U.S. Release Date: 2019-05-03
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Adult Themes)
Genre: Drama
Director: AJ Jankel
Cast: Anna Paquin, Holliday Grainger, Emun Elliott, Gregor Selkirk, Lauren Lyle, Kate Dickie

The framing of characters is black-and-white and the far-too-pat ending offers an unearned resolution.

Run Time: 1:40
U.S. Release Date: 2019-05-03
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Sexual Content, Profanity)
Genre: Documentary
Director: Ryan White
Cast: Ruth Westheimer

Because the movie never loses its focus and allows Ruth Westheimer’s charisma to remain front-and-center, this is an effective and sometimes surprising mini-biography.

Run Time: 1:42
U.S. Release Date: 2019-05-03
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Deon Taylor
Cast: Dennis Quaid, Meagan Good, Michael Ealy, Joseph Sikora, Alvina August

The problem with "The Intruder," as with its antecedents, is a combination of narrative predictability and character stupidity.

As much a fantasy in the political realm as in the romantic one, "Long Shot" is a pleasant trifle that leaves behind a warm fuzzy feeling.
