While White's film is not exactly groundbreaking, her thoughtful approach and execution still make it well worth the watch and the praise.

Scott is what makes the film stand out from the crowd. Highlighting an unforgettable story, Stone's Elsinore is well worth its 111-minute runtime, but for god's sake, bring more than just one pack of tissues to the theater.

The depth and clarity of Wilson Shedd's character is what makes the film worth watching, and the message it leaves behind is haunting enough to keep you thinking long after the credits have rolled.

For a feature debut from Byrne, the film is a successful, if somewhat bland, entry; it's worth it for Infiniti's performance, but don't expect any twists or turns to come.

Far from a masterpiece, Closing Night is a decent if jumbled debut from the new filmmaker, but there's enough redeeming in the feature to warrant curiosity as to what he might present next.

As polarizing as Alpha Gang can be, there's still a fun and undeniable charm to it if you allow yourself the chance to indulge in its weirdness and humor. It's not meant to make a whole lot of sense; it's not meant to be taken too seriously — just sit back, enjoy the music, and watch as these aliens discover what it means to be human.

It's clear that Rock should have spent more time trimming down Misty Green into something more succinct. There was potential for a great movie here, but it lacks the refinement to make it anything more than just another forgettable drama in a sea of dramas at the festival.

I Play Rocky is a resounding success, one that captures that hopeful positivity and ingenuity that made Rocky the iconic movie it is. Rocky's overwhelming success is justification enough for I Play Rocky to be made, but it's the soul and performance in the film that ultimately makes it a movie worth watching.

The Maras remain the best part of the Bucking Fastard, but even they are occasionally overshadowed by a concept that needs a bit more sharpening and refining.

Despite these flaws, Supergirl is a fantastic film and one that solidifies the newly rebooted DCU's strength as a franchise. It also signals that Gunn can be a bit more hands-off with a project without any drop in quality. Supergirl is as effervescent and colorful as Superman, but offers a cosmic twist that sheds away the extra baggage that comes with centering a story on Earth and takes the opportunity to truly develop this new version of the character.
