A gutsy, quiet movie with a tinge of melancholy to go with its offbeat premise.

A whimsical musical and an almost psychedelic trip to the suburbs of Florida; a science-fiction farce loaded with foul language, explicit violence, and sexual references; and an amalgam of noir and black comedy.

The brainchild of longtime comedian and TV editor Vera Drew, which began as a dare to reedit Todd Phillips’s Joker.

A buoyant parable that manages to portray messy, complicated matters like democracy in a deft, light-to-the-touch, yet complex manner.

Writer/director Emerald Fennell dares you not to clutch your pearls.

Sebastián Silva’s meta-fiction is one of the funnier and adventurous comedies of the year so far.

As usual, Wes Anderson’s new film is sumptuous to look at and an amazing feat of artistry by his team of costumers, set decorators, and miniature model makers.

Obviously improvised by its adult cast members to the point of repetition, the flabby film rambles on, like an uninspired Saturday Night Live sketch.

A ruthless, barbed-wire black comedy and social satire with razor sharp performances.
