Alongside these plot failings, “John Wick: Chapter 4” fails to pass the Bechdel test or ignite a powerful connection between Reeves and any of his co-stars.

Steadfast in its honest portrayal of the ups and downs of recovery, “A Good Person” never ceases to remind its viewers that the healing process is never linear.

“Boston Strangler” is an enjoyable, atmospheric rendition of two women’s pursuit to discover the identity of the serial killer against the many, often sexist obstacles in their way.

“Inside” has a lot going for it — an enticing premise, an actor who can more than hold their own alone and an obvious passion from those involved — but the story collapses in on itself.

Given its heavy subject matter, “A Good Person” may not seem fit for the faint of heart. But for every graphic depiction of desperation and darkness, Braff surprises his audience with tasteful moments of humor and hope.

Radiating with passion and persistence, Jessica Chastain has a unique propensity for shading in the contours of colorful, often historically-grounded characters.

Reyes ultimately formed a dire examination of the systems that ensnare individuals and set them up for failure in a carefully crafted, tragic portrait of the incarceration system and a young man’s attempts to navigate life and immigration in the United States.

Creator Rian Johnson, the mind behind “Knives Out” and “Glass Onion,” subverts mystery tropes left and right for a refreshing take on the genre that toys with audience expectations.
