Kraven the Hunter
Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger ; Directed by: J.C. Chandor
Kraven’s complex relationship with his ruthless father, Nikolai Kravinoff, starts him down a path of vengeance with brutal consequences, motivating him to become not only the greatest hunter in the world, but also one of its most feared.
What the Critics Are Saying:
“The game has its moments, but “Kraven the Hunter” goes in one eye and out the other, which has everything to do with genre fatigue — the studios’ more so than the audience’s.”
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Everything feels simultaneously lifeless and desperate to please, from the computer-generated safari animals to the elaborate wire-work and four-letter swears.
While all of the previous movies in this barely-series seemed scrambled together in a panic, Chandor’s movie seems scrambled together with a great deal of confidence and a bit of style.

Queer
Starring Daniel Craig, Daan de Wit, Jason Schwartzman; Directed by: Luca Guadagnino
1950. William Lee, an American expat in Mexico City, spends his days almost entirely alone, except for a few contacts with other members of the small American community. His encounter with Eugene Allerton, an expat former soldier, new to the city, shows him, for the first time, that it might be finally possible to establish an intimate connection with somebody.
What the Critics Say:
“Luca Guadagnino’s flawed but fascinating gay love story is lifted to the heights by Daniel Craig who captures his character’s sexual heat and yearning heart in a performance he seems to tear from his insides. Is an Oscar nomination next? That’s the idea.”
“The most unconventional thing about the Lee in Guadagnino’s version of “Queer” is that he’s played by Craig, who, of course, is famous as the most recent James Bond.”
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
“Queer is both visually lush, sexually explosive, and emotionally infuriating. It is not a journey that leaves our hearts full, but open and aching.”

UnStoppable
Starring: Jharrel Jerome, Anthony Robles, Jennifer Lopez; Directed by: William Goldenberg
Unstoppable is the inspiring true story of Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome) who was born with one leg but whose indomitable spirit and unbreakable resolve empowered him to defy the odds and pursue his dreams. With the unwavering love and support of his devoted mother Judy (Jennifer Lopez) and the encouragement of his coaches, Anthony fights through adversity to earn a spot on the Arizona State Wrestling team. But it will demand everything he has, physically and mentally, to achieve his ultimate quest to become an NCAA Champion.
What the Critics are Saying:
“If this movie would rather meet our expectations, it does so with sincerity that makes it a slim win on points.”
“Embracing and leveraging elements of a classic underdog tale, this remarkable true-life story of courage and desire and overcoming obstacles deserves to be told.”
