Harold and the Purple Crayon (2024) |
It's almost impressive that a movie all about the power of imagination could be so creatively bankrupt and incurious about the world, but this misguided kids' film manages to be all that and so much more (or less, depending on your perspective). - Looper.com

Trap (2024) |
Although it falls apart slightly in the third act (a trait the director is unfortunately unable to shake here), a tense narrative and unsettling performance from Josh Hartnett makes "Trap" a delightful late summer thriller. - Looper.com

It Ends With Us (2024) |
Between the flat acting, cheesy storytelling, and overall weird vibes, It Ends with Us is a cinematic failure on almost every front. - Looper.com

Drive-Away Dolls (2024) |
Some components of Limonov: The Ballad of Eddie are more naturally engaging than others, but the end result is a bemused yet creatively satisfying look at a Russian oddball. - Vague Visages

The Watchers (2024) |
"The Watchers" is the purest definition of nepotism, a film that has no plausible explanation for being made without the backing of a successful parent serving as producer. - Looper.com

The Apprentice (2024) |
It's the incomparable Strong who steals the show as Cohn, the Pygmalion who carves Trump out of spray tan and ill-fitting suits to make him into the monster he becomes. - Looper.com

Kinds of Kindness (2024) |

Megalopolis (2024) |
There's something weirdly compelling in its flaws — after all, if your film can't be great, you might as well make it so strange that audiences can't entirely write it off.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) |

Challengers (2024) |
Where it succeeds, it does so on the strength of its three central performances: Zendaya is magnetic, Josh O'Connor has a devil-may-care charm, and Mike Faist shines in the film's most emotionally restrained role. - Looper.com

Monkey Man (2024) |
Monkey Man, a revenge tale set in the corrupt underbelly of India, is an impressive outing from Patel, who not only stars in it but also serves as its writer and director. - Looper.com

Lisa Frankenstein (2024) |
"Lisa Frankenstein" may be filled with clever nods to the 1980s golden age of horror comedies, but it's also an energetic, delightfully macabre production that might just be one of the most surprisingly entertaining of 2024. - Looper.com

Freaky Tales (2024) |

Maestro (2023) |
There's a sense of fluidity and lyricism to the production that captures the spirit of Bernstein, helping "Maestro" to overcome the limitations of the genre, which often traps viewers in a play-by-play recreation of its subject's life. - Looper.com

Ferrari (2023) |
Although there's sometimes a disconnect between parts of the story that deal with Enzo's personal life and the frenetic racing scenes, they somehow work together in tandem, combining to create one of Michael Mann's most emotionally satisfying films. - Slashfilm

The Inventor (2023) |
It has an interesting concept but a very meandering narrative that makes it feel like it might have been better off as a tightly executed 30-minute short — even at just over 90 minutes long, The Inventor is creative but has a tendency to drag. - Looper.com

Woman of the Hour (2023) |
Flashing between the bright lights of a studio set and the more pared-down, almost muted sequences of Alcala's encounters with his victims, the film features an all-star cast with enough talent to avoid sensationalizing the material. - Looper.com

Dumb Money (2023) |
There's something about this story — maybe it's too simplistic, maybe it's the fact that the actual events are so recent that the film can't comment meaningfully on their potential future implications — that makes its populist bent feel contrived. - Looper.com

Lee (2023) |
The film doesn't live up to Lee's visionary standards — it's unsure of itself, feeling the need to overexplain the narrative at times and take meandering byways that mute the emotional power of the straightest and simplest path forward. - Looper.com

Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) |

Saltburn (2023) |

Golda (2023) |
