Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer; What happens when you gather the greatest talents in the industry & they make something so technically marvellous on every level, one wonders why they chose to make this, of all things. Compelling, but like most Nolan work, more cerebral than emotionally moving; A-
 

Amsterdam

Amsterdam; Talented cast chews up dialogue in this important cautionary reminder of how history repeats itself when lessons of the past are dismissed or ignored. Film has a lot to say but struggles to find its footing with an uneven pace and too broad a scope to fluidly tell; B

No Time to Die

No Time To Die; Substitutes stunt spectaculars for emotional storytelling, which isn’t quite what a casual Bond audience wants. Barely a memorable action sequence, wasting this talented cast on this franchise when they could be portraying better characters elsewhere; C+

Bohemian Rhapsody

Bohemian Rhapsody; Film routinely, yet excellently fictionalizes for emotional story telling effect. Actors and set pieces are spot on electric, bringing much love to the mythos of Queen, with a main focus on the music; A
