Any expectations above 'fun, dumb, popcorn-flick' here should be dulled. I think those descriptors suit this film well, with maybe a bit more emphasis on dumb, and a little bit less fun.

A charming little film that surprised me with some things, but overall felt fairly inconsequential.

Rough Night
Moderately funny with some fairly interesting set-ups, but nothing really cleared the bar of "medium" for me.

Hell or High Water [Revisit]
One of 2016's best, with beautiful shot after beautiful shot, a great narrative that keeps you engaged throughout, and a handful of charming performances.

Wind River
The cinematography here is absolutely jaw-dropping. The narrative is paced well and interesting throughout, and Renner's performance is absolutely fantastic.

Brigsby Bear
A wonderful meditation on fandom, on finding your place, on rebuilding after a drastically world-changing event, and on relentlessly pursuing your dreams, all wrapped up in an incredibly unique package.

Beatriz at Dinner
I found the pacing to be a bit slow, and the film was quite repetitive. That being said, the things they were repeating were done quite well. All in all, I found the film to be solid, if unexciting.

Lemon
All of the characters in this film acted so awkwardly, as if the filmmaker was working towards a darker NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. Unfortunately, very little of this worked for me at all.
