Hold On (2019)
2/5
EDIT
“Make no mistake, "Hold On" proves De Ette a talented singer, one destined for success. We didn't need a movie to see that. A music video would have sufficed.” –

Mike Wallace Is Here (2019)
95%
4/5
EDIT
“The film deftly weaves news and interview clips from Wallace's half-century on TV with the times he himself answered questions as tough as those he asked, fleshing out one of the country's last formidable journalists.” –

Into the Ashes (2019)
30%
2/5
EDIT
“The biggest problem with "Into the Ashes" is the time it wastes on moral dilemmas, when it's clear Nick has only one choice (and just as many shotguns). There is never any doubt where this is going, and the film takes far too long to get there.” –

“If you insist on seeing "Men in Black: International," do yourself a favor and zap yourself with an official MIB neuralyzer, erasing all memories of previous films in the franchise.” –

2/5
EDIT
“"Hellboy" plays out as a non-interactive video game. It would be a lot more fun if you were the one swinging a virtual sword and making body parts fly. Assuming you're into that sort of thing.” –

Diane (2018)

4/5
EDIT
“While "Diane" is perhaps 96 of the most depressing minutes on film this year, its quiet honesty is compelling. treating aging and death with a respect to the inevitability of both.” –

“For parents, "The Kid Who Would Be King" is perfect for a movie-pool. Like a carpool, one mom or dad is the designated chaperone, taking his or her spot in the rotation.” –
