Split (M. Night Shyamalan, 2016): 1.5/5
Between this hacky shit and Atomic Blonde, James McAvoy deserves some kind of Most Acting award.
Whisper of the Heart (Yoshifumi Kondó, 1995): 3.5/5
A non-Miyazaki, non-fantasy Studio Ghibli movie. Charming, calm and lovely.
* Thor: Ragnarok (Taika Waititi, 2017): 3/5
The current state of Hollywood comedy.
* Coco (Lee Unkrich, 2017): 3/5
Pandering with style. At one point, Jack jumped out of his seat and screamed "Yeeaaaaahhhh" at the top of his voice.
* Lady Bird (Greta Gerwig, 2017): 3.5/5
What's not to like? Easily better than the last over-praised girl-coming-of-age movie.
* Call Me By Your Name (Luca Guadagnino, 2017): 5/5
Swoony, beautiful and (for me) extremely moving. Pleasurably antagonist-free. Timothée Chalamet turns in the performance of the year (and he's also one of the best things about Lady Bird).
The Circle (James Ponsoldt, 2017): 1/5
It's good to periodically re-calibrate with a really terrible movie. Talented people (including director Ponsoldt, writer Eggers, and co-star Hanks) making undercooked, out-of-touch, boring pablum.
* The Disaster Artist (James Franco, 2017): 3/5
Skin deep, but entertaining.
