Longlegs (2024) |
Longlegs is, indeed, a tale in which terror is ever-present. It just doesn’t manage to lurk in the shadows as long nor as subtly as we convinced ourselves it would. - InSession Film

Fly Me to the Moon (2024) |
That Greg Berlanti’s Fly Me to the Moon was originally intended to be a direct-to-streaming release makes some sense, actually. - InSession Film

Chronicles of a Wandering Saint (2023) |
Needless to say, this is hardly your father’s “faith-based” dramedy. To call it a religion-pilled film at all would be to misdirect, as it’s far more interested in consequence, and how much influence one’s community can have on their identity. - InSession Film

A Binding Truth (2023) |
It’s not the type of documentary that needs to go to overly dramatic lengths in order to tell its story, nor should it. It’s academic but not cold or distant... - InSession Film

The People's Joker (2022) |
Yet the beautiful thing about this movie's lasting imprint is that it's intended not to be one of comic-book-level significance, but of a film that foregrounds its message and its existence... - InSession Film

A Different Man (2024) |
It's a complicated performance in a film rich with complicated questions, most of which aren't easily answered, or keen to be pinned down at all. - InSession Film

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) |
What was once a fresh brand now feels inorganic and recycled. - InSession Film

Abigail (2024) |
What I wish their studio had trusted them to do is another story, similar to the one Bettinelli-Olpin, Gillett, and co. are telling here... - InSession Film

The American Society of Magical Negroes (2024) |
It’s a shame how short Libii’s debut comes up, considering how well-attuned the director appears to be when it comes to how successful some stories of this nature have been in the past. - InSession Film

Arthur the King (2024) |
Arthur The King is far from perfect, but at least it effectively harnesses the power these movies rarely neglect yet never master: Being infused with hope, no matter the adversity the characters face. - InSession Film

Ricky Stanicky (2024) |
Somehow, more work went into crafting a gag to accompany the presentation for achievement in Costume Design than into a new feature film from an Oscar winner. If only that was as much of a sham as this. - InSession Film

Float (2023) |
Unless filmmakers are willing — or able — to craft something new in this genre, or at worst, to convey a fresh sensation from something familiar, perhaps it's best not to try altogether. - InSession Film

Here (2023) |
Here is a film that values its characters' interests and desires almost as much as they do, and thus commands the audience to do the same. If you've never cared about moss before, you'll almost certainly never look at it the same way. - InSession Film

I Used to be Funny (2023) |
But the more I Used to Be Funny jostles back and forth from one timeline to the next, it becomes scattered, both narratively and tonally. - InSession Film

Kill (2023) |
Kill is a film about retribution, yes, but also the Indian class system, the complications that come with having one true love in a culture where love is arranged for you based on a litany of factors, and familial politics. - InSession Film

She Loved Blossoms More (2024) |
It should have strove to be something more elevated; perhaps a trip in the brother’s time chamber could rejigger its design and do it some necessary favors. - Next Best Picture

The Freshly Cut Grass (2024) |
Such are but some of the questions raised by Celina Murga’s “The Freshly Cut Grass,” a thoughtful, if repetitive, drama that inspects relationships of all kinds. - Next Best Picture

Avicii: True Stories (2017) |
If you wish to view it as such, “Avicci – I’m Tim” succeeds as a tribute. But it has a lot more on its mind than serving as a visual legacy. - Next Best Picture

The Knife (2024) |
It’s as engaging a work of suspense as I’ve seen this year, a thoughtful, socially-conscious work that eludes action in favor of conversational, orchestral tension. In short, it’s not to be missed. - Next Best Picture

Group Therapy (2024) |
It's not that "Group Therapy" set out nor intended to solve anxiety and depression by asking famous comedians to discuss its tribulations, but there's meat left on the bone. - Next Best Picture

Lovely, Dark, and Deep (2023) |
Lovely, Dark, and Deep still manages to create something fresh, tactfully keeping its reliance on recognizable, cult-adjacent themes that give a heftier weight to its chills to a reasonable minimum. - InSession Film
