Unequal Storylines Don't Add Up in
Suburbicon
A one-dimensional take on the dark underbelly of suburban culture, this story, written by the Coen Brothers and directed by George Clooney, is never dull, but leaves you wondering what the point is, and why we're supposed to care. 2.5 out of 5.

All I See is You
and Lots of Plodding, Explicit Content
If you're hoping for an action-packed, fast-paced thriller, keep looking; All I See is You takes its own sweet time. This artsy, brooding film looks at the dynamics of a relationship and what happens when the balance of power shifts. Includes beautiful cinematography and quality acting... but graphic sex. 2.5 out of 5.

God Recycles Trash into Treasure in
Same Kind of Different As Me
Much like its characters, Same Kind of Different As Me can be a little rough around the edges. Smooth these down however, and viewers will discover a rich, heartfelt story which reminds us that we are all treasured members of God's human family. 3.5 out of 5.

Only the Brave
Fights Incredible Flames, Fans Others
Harrowing but aspirational, Only the Brave shows men and women not only at their bravest but at their best. As a group of firefighters struggles with the forces of nature and the callings of family life, they find a shared purpose in protecting others, leading to a finale that won't soon be forgotten by anyone who experiences it. 4 out of 5.

The Snowman
's Expected Accumulation Never Arrives
Somewhere in The Snowman is a stylish crime thriller trying to emerge, but whether through a poor job of forging a screenplay from Jo Nesbo's book or poor execution of the script by director Tomas Alfredson, the film plays like a highly anticipated weather forecast that never materializes. 2 out of 5.

Hopeful
Wonderstruck
Labors to Find its Awe
An adaptation of a critically acclaimed children’s book that struggles more than it succeeds, Wonderstruck is a bit of a mixed bag. However, it rallies near the end with moving visuals and a beautiful story of family and hope.

Goodbye Christopher Robin
Leans More Eeyore Than Tigger
Be warned: Goodbye Christopher Robin is not the Winnie-the-Pooh nostalgia trip you're expecting. In many ways it's more like a real bear than a stuffed one - cuddly to look at but get closer and find teeth and claws. So why the high score? Quality performances, unexpected conflicts, storybook scenery and life lessons abound. But also because this film knows what it means to have been both child and parent. 4.5 out of 5.

History, Heroism and Legal Drama All Mesh in
Marshall
When a young Thurgood Marshall and Jewish lawyer Sam Friedman reluctantly partner to fight for justice in a rape case, the result is a thought-provoking, uplifting movie. More fun than you'd expect, Marshall is a legal thriller with heart and character, based on a true story. 4.5 out of 5.

The Mountain Between Us
is Alluring but Artificial
A survival story of epic proportions, The Mountain Between Us is thoughtfully filmed and beautifully performed. However, its too-contrived plot and screenplay weren't able to withstand the full duration of the film, so it scrapes by with a 2.5 out of 5.

My Little Pony
Should Please Fans and the Bigs Who Love Them
A cute little movie about cute little ponies, with life lessons and some mighty fine music thrown in as a bonus. There's color and excitement for small viewers, humor and (clean) adult references for the older set, and fun for all ages. 3 out of 5.

If You Take Your Sci-Fi with More Depth Than Octane, Consider
Blade Runner 2049
A sprawling sci-fi spectacle that honors and expands upon the original, but also plays like a brainy art house indie on a big budget. At two-and-a-half hours plus, it will test the patience of those looking for an easily digestible entertainment. 4 out of 5.

The Stray
is Doggedly Determined but Barks Too Softly
A true story about how one dog can touch the lives of many others, The Stray is a faith-based film that is appropriate for most families. Still, The Stray may not be the heartwarming tale that dog lovers are anticipating. 1 out of 5.

Mully
is a Miracle of Christian Filmmaking
Mully is the rare sort of documentary which shakes its viewers into action. Through inspiration and honesty, it reminds us that no real change can be effected without faith, bravery and hard work. If we hope to build a better world, we must first learn to love our neighbor. 4 out of 5.

American Made
Scores in the 80s
Barry Seal (Tom Cruise) is not the brightest bulb in the lamp, and his moral compass is clearly broken, but you can't help but root for him. American Made may leave you shaking your head in dismay, but if you want a fast-paced, interesting look at scandals of the 80's, this is your movie. 3 out of 5.

Christian Film Formula Pays Off in
A Question of Faith
Viewers who responded to God's Not Dead and Do You Believe? get another providential plot in A Question of Faith, which works despite somewhat awkwardly incorporating texting-and-driving and organ donation into its story of sanctification and salvation. 3 out of 5.

Lego: Ninjago
is Forgettable, but Still Fun
This latest entry to the Lego universe has plenty of heart but lacks the ingenuity of its predecessors. It may amuse kids (and even adults) for an hour or two, but will probably be forgotten once the credits are done rolling. 3 out of 5.

Kingsman
Sequel Plays More Like a Pauper
Overlong and overblown, this sequel to 2014's Kingsman: The Secret Service is louder and more aggressive than its predecessor, with little charm. Even so, the finale offers a few poignant moments, showing what might have been had the creative team focused its energies more on the characters and less on ridiculous scenarios and CGI. 2 out of 5.

Battle of the Sexes
Makes Old News Feel New
Battle of the Sexes is about more than a 1973 tennis match between rising female tennis star Billie Jean King and a past-his-prime, buffoonish Bobby Riggs. In portraying one of America’s early public figures to live openly as a homosexual, the film also addresses women’s rights, but it leaves little room for reactions other than celebration of the resulting cultural changes. 3.5 out of 5.

Stronger
an Unflinching Testimony to the Power of Hope
A real-life story that actually feels like real life, Stronger is an unflinching look at Jeff Bauman—an ordinary man injured in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing who became a symbol of hope to his city. A gritty testimony to the power of hope and the dignity of a regular Joe just trying to stay Boston Strong. 3.5 out of 5.

American Assassin
is Shockingly Savage, Surprisingly Shallow
For a movie about global intelligence, American Assassin foolishly wastes an entire cast of talented actors on a mediocre story that's as pointless as it is bloody. In a world brimming with spy flicks, this one has neither the brains nor skills to survive. 2 out of 5.
