An audacious directorial debut from Westworld co-creator Lisa Joy, Reminiscence drops Hugh Jackman into a science fiction-noir that is less hard boiled and more of a light simmer.

If someone told me a year ago that a long-delayed movie with Ryan Reynolds as a non-player character (NPC) in a videogame would also grapple with the downright exploitative nature of the videogame industry, I would have said they were out of your mind.

It is hard to shake the feeling that Joe Bell was designed with an Oscar nomination for acting in mind, though along the way it ended up forgetting to make an engaging film to justify such an award. 

A film that proves to be fleetingly sweet, How It Ends is a pandemic creation where absurdity and sentimentality are given priority over substance.

A film that only succeeds in dunking on itself over and over again, Space Jam: A New Legacy is a woefully misguided marketing ploy masquerading as a movie.

A cultural artifact, a historical document, and a musical masterpiece, Summer of Soul is truly a documentary we are lucky to get to see. When considering how there is a world where we may never have gotten the chance to lay eyes upon any of the footage of the once in a lifetime musical event, that only makes the experience all the more special to witness it now.
