3/5
The plot, which heads off in some improbable directions, recalls 'The Spy Who Loved Me' in a way you suspect it's not supposed to.

The Biggest Little Farm (2019)
Like a cross between 'Microcosmos' and an origin story for Old MacDonald, this wonderful doc is possibly the most joyous 90 minutes you'll spend in a cinema this year.

Queen & Slim (2019)
Investing their roles with a somber thoughtfulness, the leads do exquisite work, even when the situation pushes them toward bad decisions or stereotypes.

Little Women (2019)
If this isn't the Little Women you remember, either on page or screen, that's understandable. But it's likely the one you felt, and that's more important.

Varda by Agnès (2019)
The late documentarian's final work is a literal master class: a filmed lecture during which she rambles enjoyably through her greatest hits.

21 Bridges (2019)
It's the kind of role Gary Cooper used to play, albeit in a dusty Western town rather than gritty New York.

The Good Liar (2019)
The big reveal of this con-man potboiler may be weapons-grade tosh, but you shouldn't let it detract too much from the enjoyable ride to that point.

It's purpose-built for anyone who's watched 'The Holiday' maybe six times too often.

It's like someone got hold of all the wardrobe rejects from 'Boogie Nights' and built a movie around them.

A Dog Called Money (2019)
If you've ever wondered what the boredom threshold is for watching a musician tuning a hurdy-gurdy, you'll find the answer here.

Luce (2019)
This earnest race drama occasionally flirts with turning into a sociopath thriller. You'll kind of wish it did.

Suspend all disbelief, hold tight to the wicker basket and go along for the ride.

It's the cutaways between songs that stitch it all together with an emotional thread that charts its subject's struggles over the decades.

It's all a lot of effort for very little output, sadly. The Current War has lots of flashy lights and whizzy features, but it remains fatally underpowered.

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Even with the original stars returning, the sequel feels weightless, disposable and hardly the stuff of Skynet nightmares.

The Addams Family (2019)
Its celebration of misunderstood outsiderdom is too generic to amount to much more than a bargain-basement 'Despicable Me'.

The Beach Bum (2019)
You'll need a lot of patience - or weed - to stick with Harmony Korine's paper-thin, larky portrait of a literary bum in crisis.

This cheesy thriller is the quattro formaggi of cop films.

There's no grandstanding here; François Ozon's interest is in showing how these vile acts can warp lives before they've even got started.

Official Secrets (2019)
While it'll do nothing to restore trust in the august bodies that rule the land, it's a pacy, palm-clammying watch.

It's far more clean-cut than Motown's origins ever were...but if you're a sucker for the hits of the '60s and '70s, this is a nostalgic temptation you won't want to miss.

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)
Heroically, Double Tap's new actors, rare though they are, save it from being completely brain-dead.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019)
As the nemesis to Angelina Jolie's red-lipped siren, Pfeiffer gives us exactly what we want -- the same hissing Catwoman attitude she heated up for Mother!

Uncut Gems (2019)
The film goes deeper than the brothers ever have into a genuine affection for their various schemers, and that makes all the difference.

Gemini Man (2019)
As impressive as the two Will Smiths trick is, you'll be just as aware of the movie's hoary script and a fist-gnawingly awful turn by Clive Owen as the villain.

The Day Shall Come (2019)
Where 'Four Lions' is meticulously thought-through, this is a more scattergun sketch of politically motivated inhumanity.

This is movie terrain that's land-mined with potential clichés, and 'Farming' definitely steps on a few.

This sheep-quel mixes the same jolliness and English eccentricity with a Spielbergian sci-fi twist - and pulls it off with typical Aardman charm.

The Irishman (2019)
After a while, you adjust, or rather, you get tired of probing the slightly-off evidence of your eyes and the headache it produces. There's a lot of fun to distract you.

Good Posture (2019)
All in all, there are moments of beauty in Dolly Wells' poetic and promising debut, but she still feels like a director finding her feet.
