Shockingly respectful of the audience's intelligence for a Platinum Dunes/Blumhouse t, very stylishly shot (sometimes to a fault,) and with a genuinely compelling whodunit aspect, Drop is going to make for the basis of a great Off-Broadway play one day.

27/30
A spy thriller that relies on high tension rather than spectacle, Black Bag,/i> is concise, sleek, and very well-acted.

I don't think I've been as mad at a movie in my entire life. This is a movie where the writers expect you to sympathize with a sociopath who does everything he can to ruin his six children's lives by taking away any remnants of social interactability they might have had at one point. This is a movie where every character is either some combination of fat, dumb and Christian, or an intellectual Chomsky worshiper. This is the movie equivalent of those Tumblr posts where the "enlightened atheist" totally owns the "bigoted asshole" while 30 people cheer them on. At least Viggo was good, I guess.

Hereditary is a film filled with grief, loss and despair. Too bad it's not filled with pacing and subtlety too.
