‘Exhibiting Forgiveness’ seeks to ask one question, “What do you do when your parents are the source of your pain?”

'Run This Town' takes an unflinching look at the Rob Ford scandal that shook Toronto to its core while using fictional millennials to drive a concise story .

Him is visually stunning—all concrete cathedrals and bone-rattling impact shots that look like a nightmare highlight reel. Marlon Wayans is magnetic as this legendary quarterback who's basically selling salvation with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes.

The sports-as-religion metaphor beats you over the head when subtlety would've been more effective. The middle drags, and that finale chooses spectacle over substance. It's undeniably stylish, but left me cold. Also worth noting: despite the Monkeypaw connection, this isn't actually a Jordan Peele film—he didn't write or direct.

A sweet slice-of-life anime that visualizes all the ways we creatively hide our vulnerabilities from the world.

Critical Incident is worthy of a weekend binge, keeping you guessing right up until the end.
