Sharp, intelligent satire seamlessly woven into a hilarious and scary surface narrative. Peele’s insights on contemporary race relations are eerily realistic … even as the stakes inevitably escalate to absurdism. Fulfills what is arguably the most valuable function of horror; that being its ability to embrace the hideous, disdainful parts of society and have a sort of deranged laugh at it. — jared_s

Just for a second. No race, no gender, no hate, no bias, no comparing/contrasting, no fear. Only you urging the film on to do right by its protagonist. Only you allowing it to resonate in whatever way suits you. Beautifully crafted, telling a familiar story to its own unique beat, Moonlight’s pulse is driven by tenderness and love. And that conquers all, no matter who you are. — DirkH

The ghost is the soul; the shell the body it inhabits. That’s all you really need to know about any filmed iteration of Masamune Shirow’s popular cyberpunk manga Ghost in the Shell, which have tended to favor sleek visual stimuli over comprehensibly expressed ideas. An incoherent text can offer profound pleasures, and getting lost in the onscreen density of the world is the prime enjoyment. — Account removed

I felt the same way during this that I did during The Force Awakens. I feel so much joy knowing that little girls are getting the protagonists they deserve. I am so excited to see this pave the way for more storylines for characters that maybe wouldn’t have had a shot 20 years ago, and with diverse filmmakers. It is truly the best feeling to see your hero come to life. — Madelyn 🇵🇸

Dunkirk is another ambitious, audacious and astounding masterpiece from one of the most gifted and acclaimed filmmakers of our time, and is a powerful, compelling and haunting cinema that immerses its viewers with startling immediacy, and ultimately leaves them in a state of sheer awe. A thrilling slice of jaw-dropping craftsmanship that presents Nolan in complete control of his craft. — cinemacl🎃wn

There was one scene where Finn Wolfhard’s character calls the token dream girl “Molly Ringwald” after she says something cheesy and it’s so comforting to know that even in a fictional Maine town where a killer clown is literally eating children alive, Miss Molly Kathleen Ringwald remains the icon of the 80s. — andrea🌹

The almost three hours of this wasn’t nearly enough for me, frankly, for both the ways in which it very much is Blade Runner and very much isn’t. Just as much, if not a lot more, of a jaw-droppingly gorgeous, absurdly portentous, meticulously designed hypno-drone than its progenitor, this also upends its legacy in ways that will confound a lot of people and which I found highly rewarding. — matt lynch

In which Marvel gives an indigenous filmmaker bazillions of dollars to deconstruct postcolonial mythmaking and play a dopey comic relief sidekick all at once. Funny both to its advantage and detriment; the humour renders pretty much everything else a bit inconsequential, and the movie spends ages building up to a surprise they gave away from the very first trailer. — Doug Dillaman

The motivations and complexities of the characters … are murkier than ever, in the best way possible. This is not a movie that is strictly about good and evil, right or wrong—it is a movie about well-intentioned actions that are miscommunicated or seen from a different perspective. It is truly the first smart Star Wars film. — Naz
