While not without merit, Zack Snyder’s latest foray into the DC Extended Universe is a mostly woeful effort, stymied by misguided creative decisions that will color the rest of the series.
Chemsex
Vice Films’s latest venture proficiently explores the underground world of drug-fuelled queer sex parties, although its trend towards PSA nulls some of its more shocking revelations.

The long-rumored remake of Kathryn Bigelow’s 1991 masterpiece leaves a lot to be desired, a misstep of tsunamic proportions that should have skipped theatrical release altogether.
Entertainment
Rick Alverson’s latest feature is a magnificent realisation of Gregg Turkington’s Neil Hamburger persona as well as an accomplished project in its own right.
The Final Girls
A stale spin on the meta-horror comedy, Strauss-Schulson’s film does little to distinguish itself from its predecessors and often fails to meet the low bar it has set for itself.
The Golden Horse
A Latvian, Lithuanian, Danish Luxembourgian co-production, Kalnaellis and Askinis’s latest effort is a passable animated children’s film with a few unique strengths.

Alvaro Longoria’s exploration of contemporary North Korea is an interesting look at how propaganda is manufactured and how it manages to persist over time, housed within a broader travel-documentary structure.
Sam Klemke’s Time Machine
Matthew Bate’s latest documentary is a fantastic exploration of what it means to be human, filtered through a look at one of the first selfie celebrities.
Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension
The final instalment in the PARANORMAL ACTIVITY series returns to its roots, joyfully embracing everything that made the original film unique.
Heart of a Dog
Laurie Anderson’s first film in 30 years is a sprawling, joyfully messy tribute to her dog Lolabelle, packed with sidetracks and diversions.
