While “Game of Thrones” is considered Bella Ramsay’s breakout role, Birdy has given proof that Ramsay can and will have diverse stardom.
“On The Come Up” may have the characters and plot points, but like many book adaptations, it lacks the source material’s soul.
“Don’t Worry Darling” solidifies Olivia Wilde’s name as someone who can be trusted when they’re noted as the director.
While many films romanticize having long-lasting friendships, “The Razing” reminds you of the trouble that comes from people knowing the worst about you.
“The Woman Kin” breaks the mold many may see Viola Davis trapped in as she takes on the role of an action hero during a daunting time in Africa’s history.
“Pearl” is an origin story more geared towards being a streaming release than a theatrical one.
“Goodbye, Don Glees!” is a coming-of-age story that takes longer than it should to hook you, but once it has you, you’re attentive.
While “Margaux” has visual effects not up to the grade you might be used to, the cast and story will keep you around until the end.
“About Fate” is a cute and simple romantic comedy with minor dramatic elements that has the potential to make you swoon a bit.
