“Ex-Husbands” offer its participants opportunities for thoughtful growth and heaps of reflection.

While “Cleaner” may not be one of the most refined action movies this year, it has a bit more to offer than most, especially when it comes to Campbell’s thoughtful direction and Ridley’s committed performance.

The movie is a very sincere and good-hearted adaptation, but it loses focus by trying to include too many elements of the real-life story.

“Invader” feels less like a careful cautionary tale and more of a gruesome genre exercise. 

It’s like someone put news stories from the last five years in a machine, accompanied them with the three most ridiculous seasons of “Homeland,” and asked it to write a show.

“Ne Zha 2” is a rare sequel that amplifies both its action and drama without sacrificing much of what already worked in the last movie.

“Paddington in Peru” is a marmalade sandwich of a movie. 

“Universal Language” is delightfully absurdist, with little moments in each story that both make sense yet defy expectations.

“Rounding” doesn’t quite make its own case, in terms of the symbolism it throws into the mix, but as a portrayal of a man falling apart from overwhelming stress it works quite well.

Hunt can only do so much with co-stars who either don’t or aren’t meant to have chemistry with her character.
