Rogue One (2016) – Ace Mini-Review
The latest Star Wars film has a great premise, an interesting story, and a good visual style. Yet, oddly, it failed to grab me the way The Force Awakens did.
Doctor Strange (2016) – Ace Mini-Review
I enjoyed watching it, and all, but don’t ask me what it was all about!
20th Century Women (2016) – Ace Mini-Review
A smart and funny film with some unusually interesting and believable female characters.
Moonlight (2016) – Ace Mini-Review
A simple story about the painful discovery of identity, skillfully performed and tastefully arranged. The result is quite simply a beautiful movie.
Deadpool (2016) – Ace Mini-Review
I was expecting Deadpool to be crass and irreverent. What I didn't expect was it to be that rare movie that makes crass and irreverent genuinely funny.
Finding Dory (2016) – Ace Mini-Review
If you liked Finding Nemo you should enjoy this movie, which tells a similar story but with more focus on Dory.
Fantastic Beasts (2016) – Ace Mini-Review
This is the first movie set in the Harry Potter universe to tell an original story rather than adapting a novel. The result may be the best Harry Potter film yet!
