Milk | CBC Infoculture | Katherine Monk | Penn seems to disappear behind the upright shoulders and coquettish grin of his alter ego.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice | CBC News | Eli Glasner | The results are shocking, at times borderline sadistic but effective. Like the musical score, which resembles a chorus of anvils, Batman v Superman pummels the audience into submission. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,172 |
Black Panther | CBC News | Eli Glasner | Black Panther isn't a film about battling a giant robot or chasing magic stones.

Finding Dory | CBC News | Eli Glasner | What sets Pixar's films apart is the studio's ability to embrace the darkness, dread and possibility of failure Dory faces. That's what brings Finding Dory close to the heights of Finding Nemo. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,172 |

Into The Forest | CBC News | Eli Glasner | Into the Forest has its share of dramatic scenes, but Rozema is more focused on the emotional effects of the crisis...the result is a stark, emotional story about survival and sisterhood - depicting not dystopia per se, but a new beginning. | 3.5/5 | 5 | 3.5 | 5 | false | 5 | 9 | 2 | 1,172 |
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back | CBC News | Eli Glasner | Collaborators always talk about how hard Cruise works to nail the moment or perfect that fight scene. But where's the vulnerability?

Jason Bourne | CBC News | Eli Glasner | It's right there in the title: we've gone from The Bourne Ultimatum to simply Jason Bourne. He's not fighting for some greater good, he's just a reason to keep us watching. And after a while, it gets exhausting. | 3/5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | false | 4 | 9 | 2 | 1,172 |

Me Before You | CBC News | Eli Glasner | Leaving aside the complex issue of assisted dying, one of the film's biggest problems is how much Me Before You shields the audience. For a supposed romance, it's surprisingly prudish. | 2.5/5 | 5 | 2.5 | 5 | false | 3 | 9 | 2 | 1,172 |
Money Monster | CBC News | Eli Glasner | Money Monster is a flaccid farce masquerading as an issue film. The tepid hostage drama turns out to be a manipulative whodunit that lets the real bad guys off the hook. | 1.5/5 | 5 | 1.5 | 5 | false | 1 | 9 | 2 | 1,172 |
Moonlight | CBC News | Eli Glasner | Part of what makes Moonlight such a revelation is Jenkins' delicate treatment of the inner lives of black men.
