The Guilty (Den skyldige)
Brightest Young Things
Vesper Arnett
Director Gustav Möller might be a hypnotist. The Guilty is gripping tragedy, and is strongest in its focus on sound and storytelling.

Toy Story 4
Brightest Young Things
Ross Bonaime
Toy Story 4 is the most fun film of 2019 so far, and the fact that it's also able to imbue this story with a catharsis, stakes and emotional moments is just icing on the cake.

Transit
Brightest Young Things
Beatrice Loayza
Transit is a thrilling and unsettling film that tangibly recreates a nightmare of displacement and uncertainty, but in such a way that could appeal to a broader audience.

Anchored around terrific performances from Pfeiffer and Kiefer Sutherland, Where is Kyra deserves to be applauded for everything it does right.

Gotti
Broad Street Review
Stephen Silver
By treating its murderous subject as an unambiguous hero, it does what gangster films have been falsely accused of doing for decades: glorifying mobsters (Broad Street Review)

Just Mercy
Broad Street Review

A watchable, entertaining treatment of an important true story, though it comes from a very familiar genre and doesn't do much to transcend it.

Parasite (Gisaengchung)
Broad Street Review
Stephen Silver
It's an ingenious satire of class that goes to some shockingly dark places. But it's also so, SO funny, finding humor in all sorts of places that the movies rarely do

It's a tame version of Saw, aimed at middle-aged America, with the same lack of brains and appeal.

Fred Claus

Michael Ferraro
While it tries to bring a new premise into the mix (Santa Claus has a cranky older brother), the result is just as humorless and stale as the Tim Allen's The Santa Clause trilogy.

Fans of the original source material will definitely know what to expect here. The rest of us, who can't seem to connect to any of these characters (let alone care about them), can only marvel at the technical aspects of the film.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (AVP 2)
Bronsonfive
Michael Ferraro
This isn't so much an Alien or Predator styled flick we were all hoping for. Instead, half of the plot plays out like a John Hughes nightmare circa 1988.
