The Bride! certainly isn’t ashamed of being bold and different, yet the payoff for its acts of rebelliousness doesn’t always match its ambition.

Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein has no interest in existing within the horror genre, but rather as an existential and exuberant drama elevated by impeccable production values.

The standouts here are its neon-lit fights, digital worlds, and the moody score by Nine Inch Nails.

This film overwhelms with its unexpected poignance, its truthfulness, and the imagination it uses to examine its teenage characters.

It joins the ranks of a unique group of excellent Stephen King adaptations where the supernatural component is minimal to nonexistent.

Michael Keaton miraculously slips back into the title character’s self-absorbent, gothic Looney Tunes behavior like no time has passed.

Death = a macaw paying a call.

An odd, offbeat little gem wrapped up in an 18th-century vampire tale.

There is a lot to unpack and ruminate over in Jane Schoenbrun’s moody and extraordinarily layered film, where abstract ideas are made tangible.
