REBORN 

There's no hiding the horrors of war in this inspiring story of survival

“Reboot” can be crass and has much room to improve, but with investments of time and care, could flower out of the seed of a vision. 

Who knew a drunken game of truth or dare could launch one of the most chaotic rom-coms of the year? The Threesome takes Connor’s fantasy night with Olivia (Zoey Deutch, in peak queen-of-indie form) and Jenny (Ruby Cruz) and flips it into a deliciously messy nightmare when both women end up pregnant. What follows isn’t cheap comedy—it’s a whip-smart, heartfelt exploration of love, consequence, and the beautiful disasters we call adulthood.

In all actuality, “Just Mercy” should be labeled a “wall punching narrative.” Constantly, the flick throws high forms of adversity our way, amping up our most inner levels of discomfort. Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton wonderfully paces the film in such a way that replicates the slow-burn nature of justice.

A wondrously imaginative, diverse, and spirited allegory of childhood and the arduousness of adulthood.

Sam Levinson's latest film can't keep up with the excellence of its performances.
