“My Dead Friend Zoe” is a tear inducing towards the end and primarily held together by Sonequa Martin-Green’s performance.
“The Monkey” with being inspired by a short story by Stephen King, and slight “Final Destination” vibes, gives you a horror movie that will hit the spot.
“Parthenope” is made for those who use the word cinema as it seeks out to appear like a modern adaptation of a literary classic.
“Love Hurts” may present interesting action sequences, but it falters, maybe even fails, regarding everything else it is expected to deliver.
“Heart Eyes” delivers decent laughs and an acceptable level of brutality, but lacks the writing needed to make the Heart Eyes Killer into an icon.
“Companion” pushes Sophie Thatcher to the point of showing not only is she the top scream queen out there, but she could conquer the drama genre next.
While sometimes feeling like it lacks the expected payoff, “Inheritance” helps Phoebe Dynevor seem like a safe bet if she’s associated with a production.
“Marked Men” is made for a specific audience, and to capture that audience, it contains everything that could be interesting about this film.
“One Of Them Days” is the kind of comedy that you can see become a single outing or a franchise in Issa Rae and Keke Palmer’s filmographies – depending on how well it does.
While Pamela Anderson reinvents herself, it sometimes seems at the cost of giving the spotlight to her peers, with perhaps as much to prove.
“Bloody Axe Wound” achieves the rare balance of being funny, heartfelt, romantic, and bloody.
“Babygirl” is the rare example where the story deserves more attention than the performances.
“Nosferatu” doesn’t justify bringing back the dead, even with Robert Eggers’ brand of visuals and eccentric performances to expendable characters.
“F Mary Kill” presents a lighter and comical version of “Cat Person ” regarding what women may fear when dating men.
While “Y2K” may bug anyone born in the 1990s and before, it could be a fun film for those who only know the time through Tumblr aesthetics and unearned nostalgia.
“Werewolves” reminds you why the werewolf trend hasn’t revived like vampires despite multiple movies in a year with no true revival in sight.
“Allswell In New York” will likely become a movie you badly wish was at least a mini-series, for while a completed film, it feels like such a tease.
While much of what is to be expected is given with “Sweethearts,” at least the gay character, who feels obligatory/formulaic for films like this, is given a much better storyline than expected.
Like most sequels, decades separated from the first movie, “Gladiator 2” doesn’t justify its existence, though Denzel Washington does act as a silver lining.
“Heretic” uses the hook of horror as an entry point for a deeper conversation about the role and purpose of religion in society.
“Hard Truths” crafts a brilliant love-to-hate lead, but the limitations of movies will make you badly wish this was a miniseries.
It’s a romance, it’s a revenge tale, it is Melissa Barrera proving she doesn’t need “Scream” to be a movie star.
“Anora” is probably going to be one of the funniest sex comedies you’ve seen that are heavy on the sex and got released beyond a limited release in theaters.
“Smile 2” presents the idea the franchise is perfecting a formula which should be able to get it through a few movies before getting stale.
Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh star in a romance movie made for those in their 30s, who have had significant relationships and aren’t scrambling with money or their career.
“The Outrun” is a bit too dry to recommend to a general audience, unless they love someone involved or starring in the film.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” aims to not only strip down Arthur Fletch and his Joker persona, but also strip away much of what many loved about 2019’s “Joker.”
“Never Let Go” may star Halle Berry, but after a certain point, it is all about showcasing her young co-stars and furthering their careers.
“The Substance” pushes the need to question whether its potential message is lost in the pursuit of gore and its desire to show and critique the exploitation of a women.
While James McAvoy tapping into his crazy brings on some level of entertainment, as a whole, “Speak No Evil” plays it safe for a film despite its violence.
“The Front Room” starring Brandy is the kind of film that needs to be seen with an audience that will make commentary throughout in order to have the best experience.
Lucy Hale and Keir Gilchrist may deliver familiar characters from their repertoire, but amongst the odd story and comedy of “Running On Empty,” they make it work.
“The Deliverance” mixes the family drama Lee Daniels has become known for with a supernatural horror element that, with Glenn Close’s performance, is a notable watch.
Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner star in a violent film where it appears a man is hunting down a woman for reason you’d have to watch the movie to learn why.
Elizabeth Olsen, Natasha Lyonne, and Carrie Coon star as three daughters, partly estranged, who spend time together as they await their father to take his last breath.
Hunter Schafer stars in what can be described as a slightly different horror movie than what usually comes out State side, even if it follows familiar beats.
Starring Dylan Sprouse and Patrick Warburton, “The Duel” provides just as many laughs as it creates opportunities to discuss the modern state of masculinity.
Kit Harrington stars in a werewolf movie that is more about the human being, the tortured, insecure soul, than the beast within (no pun intended).
Ryan Reynolds is back as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman comes out of Wolverine retirement to deliver a film more focused on nostalgia than anything else.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
