The Innocent (L'innocente) (2019)

2/5
Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
Sonic's look was famously corrected after the movie's trailer triggered something akin to online panic; perhaps fans should have been consulted on the script as well.

Daniel Isn't Real (2019)
If this were the '90s, 'Daniel Isn't Real' would be one of those films you stumble upon in the video store and then tell all your friends about.

Emma. (2020)
Autumn de Wilde puts a subtly contemporary stamp on 'Emma' and there's a message here for the Insta generation.

When Lambs Become Lions (2019)
Jon Kasbe spent four dangerous years making 'When Lambs Become Lions' and he's been rewarded with some thrilling moments.

4/5
Cathy Yan lets her heroine's mania guide her through a story that's scrappy, weird and ultimately fun as hell.

The Rhythm Section (2020)
The slapdash missions are shoot with a handheld immediacy but the plot and the action lose momentum after the midpoint.

Plus One (2019)
Going for low-key laughs rather than massive lols, 'Plus One' leans on the likeability of its leads, who have convincing enough chemistry and make for a breezy enough 90 minutes.

2/5
Underwater (2020)
The plot is 'The Abyss'-lite, the horror beats feel cadged from 'Alien' and the seafood-looking CG monsters appear to have been liberated from a bin outside Iceland.

Dolittle (2020)
Another Doctor Dolittle adaptation, another apology owing to the animal kingdom.

Downhill (2020)
One excruciating 11-minute confrontation aside, the conflicts in 'Downhill' lack the necessary messiness.

5/5
The Assistant (2020)
This understated film builds up to a gut punch that's more painful than anything in the superficial, recent Roger Ailes exposé 'Bombshell'.

3/5
Bad Boys for Life (2020)
The good news is that 'Bad Boys for Life' isn't as obnoxiously vulgar as Michael Bay's 'Bad Boys II'.

The ingrained sexism it highlights could form the basis of several sequels.

Weathering with You (2020)
While it never fully gets the emotions jangling, there's charm to spare and the action is dynamic and occasionally thrilling.

Seberg (2020)
Kristen Stewart's performance burns with far greater intensity than the middling material that surrounds it.

Midnight Traveler (2019)
Midnight Traveler is an unforgettable answer to the refugee question.

Just Mercy (2020)
An ultimately heart-warming watch that argues passionately for justice, community and kindness.

4/5
Here For Life (2019)
...something special about Londoners and their relationships with drugs, violence and homelessness against the backdrop of a gentrifying city. It's not to be missed.

3/5
Cats (2019)
Cats may flop but it will be found by a likeminded audience, maybe the same one that rescued The Greatest Showman. Don't be the sourpuss to tell these people they're wrong.

It feels like a massive retrenchment -- privately, a rebellion seems to have been fought and lost -- and only the most loyal fans will be happy about it.

Black Christmas (2019)

Bombshell (2019)
The material is worthy, but this continuing struggle deserves a more nuanced take.

4/5
The Kingmaker (2019)
The first half is a conventional biography but as it progresses, 'The Kingmaker' takes shape as an acute study of the psychology of power.

This shallow but sharply performed Danish thriller scores high marks for style and zero for political commentary.

Undocument (2019)
A significant addition to the growing number of urgent, timely films on the global migrant crisis.

Pink Wall (2019)
What makes it stand out from the well-stocked ranks of indie relationship dramas is the way Cullen plays with traditional gender expectations.

QT8: The First Eight (2019)
For all the fun clips and well-placed interviewees, this Tarantino doc has all the critical punch of a DVD extra.

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.

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.
