JUROR NO. 2: I have two questions after this perfectly cromulent legal thriller that is somehow both clever and ludicrous: What kind of magazine writer works 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday like a normie, and is Nicolas Hoult a Fremen?

EMILIA PÉREZ: I did not know this was in Spanish. I did not know it was a musical. And I thought it was a comedy. So I was quite surprised! Often! I love big swings and this is a BIG swing. Some scenes are brilliant. But it's also a huge mess. It's like 19 vignettes stitched together.
HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS: I had no idea what I was getting into when I threw this one on, but it's an absolute masterwork. Seriously. It's brilliant, one the most gloriously silly movies ever made. It's live-action Looney Tunes. More legit LOLs than any movie in a long, long time. I LOVED this movie. 🦫
Yes! My kids were laughing their asses off. One or two moments of raunchiness (the main guy loses all his clothes at one point), but it's all cartoonishly done. It's almost entirely PG, I'd say.
SONIC 3: Remember when the trailer for the first Sonic came out and the world lost its collective mind about how bad it was? Turned into a solid trilogy (and counting, obvs) of above-average family fare. Wild that this is the only acting Jim Carrey does now. Get that 💰, my man.
A COMPLETE UNKNOWN: It's impossible to do Dylan without slipping into caricature, but Timmy toed the line as well as anyone possibly could. Solid, straightforward biopic that didn't fall into Walk Hard tropes. I didn't really care about Sylvie or Joan Baez, but that's because neither did the movie.
NIGHTBITCH: Tough to evaluate this one. It's funny and it's very real (especially as the traveling deadbeat dad over here), but it either needs more fantastical elements or fewer. And I wish they didn't punctuate every implicit message with an almost comically explicit monologue. It mostly works.
