While accurately depicting the emotional struggles aspect, the protagonist Vada's resort to drugs, sex and booze to make peace with her personal sufferings seem a bit over-stretched. Writer and Director Megan Parker intends to make us feel, but hinders some narrative development that could've been more powerful if dialogue is more constructive rather than using vices as fillers.

While acting is genuine, narrative sequence are lackluster and uneven throughout, proving to be ill-excited but well-intentioned.

All the male characters in the film feel underdeveloped while the sisters' experiences feel a little disjointed, giving people a complicated feeling about the whole process.

Charming and funny, Seoul Searching would be better if it was a TV show rather than a movie so that more characters can be well-developed rather than rushed plot lines all the way through.

A brilliant action piece combined with relatable commentary that mocks both liberals and conservatives alike, The Hunt proves itself to be smart, gory and thrilling all at once.

A exhilrating journey through the life of competition of Ken Miles, Ford V Ferrari surely balances the drama and action with some comedic elements in between to make the film an engaging viewing experience. While biographic films might be boring at times, Mangold kept the pace well enough to let us feel the bond between Ken Miles and Carrol Shelby, whom despite obstacles mounting both from within the Ford Motors and the races itself, still manages to make the best out of the situtation to prevail against odds. Although the story is not about winning, it's about courage and committment ones needs to battle against the unknown. Some downsides would be the uneven screentime of Lee Iaccoca of John Bernthal's character and the way too conventional filming styles.

Emmerich's inconsistencies surely prove himself to be Michael Bay version 1.5. The first 25 minutes of Pearl Harbour attack could be just the best part this film has to offer with well-paced action sequences and dialogue. The rest is purely bits and pieces of dramatic and repetitive battles with some subplots added into the mix to prove the heroic and unbelievable choices that Navy pilots make. The Aaron Eckhart's subplot is even more ridculous, following his journey into China then nowhere to be seen till the very end of the film. With so many lazy and fast-jumping edits, Emmerich loses traction in the later part of the film, giving the audience little to none of the anticipation that the Pearl Harbour Attack built up.

Similar to most Netflix Rom-Coms, The Last Summer does not have any substantial to offer other than the same old cheesy romance about fresh starts. The only storyline that's unrelated to the romance is the friendship between the little girl and her babysiter which seems to be out of the place when all the other stories are about finding short-term or potential long-term romantic relationships. With a little twist and turns, the film can be deemed mediocrely enjoyable but nothing exceptional.

With occasional fast cuts and an overall uneven tone, Spenser Confidential does not exel in neither action nor comedy. Story is straighforward enough, yet none of the characters are particularly interesting.

While packed with gritty realism, the film does not live up to any conventional standards in story development. It almost feels like the story started and ended with few substance within.

With little to none editing skills, this film could be the worst ever made by Berg.

The film doesn't have a big story to tell, but internal struggles of the main character can be perceived through all the scenes.

Although impactful at every scene, this film should be in Norwegian so that it can be more authentic.

Wes Anderson utilizes simple concept of love and friendship with immense matriculation in crafting a tailored sequence of events to send a simple message: Dogs and humans are friends.

While depictions of characters look realistic comparatively and bring occasional laughter, the film does not have much of a central message.

A nice reminisce of an all-time classic animated film about superheroes, Incredibles 2 does not surpass its predecessor in any ways but still manages to be likable among all.

Just gonna quote from a random character from The Wire: "The world shines **** and calls it gold."

Much like it's predecessor but better, Villeneuve's take on Blade Runner recreates the original atmosphere, but also implements surprising twists and turns that do not bore the audience through the whole course of extensive run time.

Badly acted and directed piece that basically says nothing about everything.

A solid piece of high school drama that entices young audiences into the world of inclusiveness.

Twisty and hilarious, Game Night is simply a delight to watch for those seeking a combination of thrill and comedy.

An artistically boring storyline accompanied with cliche character narratives, Red Sparrow is simply awful in its direction, making the film one of the most atrocious representation of espionage.

With the insane amount of unnecessary backstories, Eastwood misses the mark in promoting a proper propaganda.

A boring tale of heist that doesn't even come close to being an adequate action piece with bland dialogue and dull acting.

A grotesque romance that will obviously gross out some straight males, Call Me By Your Name certainly does achieve the effect of love and affection with two top-notch acting professionals(Timothee and Armie).

Not too bad an action piece for a first time feature film director, 12 Strong largely portrays historical events in a dramatic and unrealistic fashion with boring dialogue and adequate action scenes.

While visually compelling and emotionally driven at times, Wonderstruck fails to send a clear central message that the transformation of deaf culture is important to the American society. The "wonder" in the title also does not seem to live up to its ultimate ending, offering viewers rather mixed and confused feelings.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Certainly one of the most interesting approaches to tackle the subject of Christianity, Novitiate does not seek to give out answers or judge religion as a whole, but presents the power struggle and human emotions that mirror the contemporary world. While cast performance is astounding in every way, Morgan Saylor(Homeland) particularly stands out among all.

A cliche story with solid action and pacing. It's probably good to see Liam Neeson does what he does best in action movies, but that's pretty much it.

Spooky and Freaky, It features swearing kids, dirty environments and ugly monsters that successfully scare the audience, but nothing else in terms of the story.

With another impressive performance by several Oscar winning and nominated actors and actresses, The Post certainly serves its purpose being politically important during the current climate, but other than that it's just another usual fashioned Spielberg film with no surprising elements.

A well-executed biopic on events that have controversial facts and figures with some comic elements to entertain the audience and amazing performance by Allison Janney, I, Tonya is certainly not ground-breaking in any way though, considering the certain biases in favor of Tonya Harding to invoke empathy and sympathy.

Cute but melodramatic throughout most of the run time, the film feels too cheesy and unbelievable with slight momentum to keep some audiences engaged until realizing a rather foolish ending.

A solid performance and story with average cinematography and direction, but kept the audience intrigued throughout the whole course.

While certain scenes and parts of story are occasionally relatable, the film feels more like a collection of hilarious memes rather than having a central message.

What could've been an astounding social commentary piece ends up to be a multi-faceted disjointed disaster piece. Downsizing focuses on the good Samaritan character Paul Safranek as he ventures the downsized world with some realizations and disappointments without delving into any of the important societal issues, but simply stating them and moving into cliche stories of characters. Payne misses the mark with the great cast and occasional humor, ultimately dooming Downsizing the chance to become politically important.

An emotionally driven biographical drama that focuses on both personal and professional lives of the firefighters involved. Kosinski balances the elements of drama and actions in a well-paced sequence, leaving the audience feel the compelling heroism.

A story about a person's internal struggle with the reality and perceptions, White examines the thoughtful and doubtful mind of Mid-age Brad who questions his career choices and idealistic goals. The well-developed characters and father-son relationship truly underscore the importance of family and the insignificance of competitions, suggesting one should always cherish what he or she has rather than regret what's been lost.

A comical look at parts of the history with occasional laughter and unbelievable darkness.

A coming of age story that looks awfully like a Noah Baumbach film, Lady Bird is actually directed by Greta Gerwig, making it looks like a replica of Baumbach's style from story lines to directions. Although the film has some realistic dialogues and excellent performance, it fails to live up as an original.

A grotesquely bizarre film that explores race and gender issues with twists that are simply considered uncomfortable to watch for some audiences.

Solid performance by Denzel Washington in a close-look character study film that examines a lawyer's troubling personal state and professional career played out in a relatively safe film-making fashion.

The film explores the dynamics of emotions by intersecting stories of characters from their past and present with the combination of images and historical references to accentuate the transformation of society and the reality of painful loss through time. Mills' well-developed characters and the casts' amazing performance do much more than make us see, but also make us feel in a way that both sympathize for the characters and reflect on ourselves.

With Gary Oldman's never-seen-before stellar performance, Darkest Hour certainly reminded us how politicians during wartime used to be honorable and righteous. The power of language throughout the film is a dominant driven force to underscore the imminent danger that faces one nation and to boost morale in the people during extreme circumstances.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

The film explores acts of exploitation in the technology based modern world, portraying disconnected characters in several different yet interlocking narratives. It is a rare occasion when characters in the film often seems grey rather than pure black and white, which authentically resembles the real world.

An untouched subject that generally overlooked by mainstream filmmakers featuring social workers and troubled teenagers explore personal losses and surroundings. With Larson's terrific performance and Cretton's compelling narrative, the film stands out as a unique gem in indie film making that underscores human connections and societal brutality.

A freakishly creepy film explores the art of expressionless acting that somehow brings the horror genre to a different level. Audience experiences might be polarized because of its particularly grotesque overall tone.

A surprisingly original story about the talented Chinese young soldiers of Arts department during the 70s and 80s. While depiction of communist propaganda seems at large because it's still a Chinese film, the main story is about those people who are shaped by their surroundings and environments. Rarely does a Chinese film do such an astounding job at character development.
