The film, not the phase.
Wild Horse Nine earned a reported 14-minute ovation at Venice and a stack of Malkovich raves with real reservations attached. I am grading festival notices and a dated theatrical, not inventing a locked Tomato.
Chronovisor opened limited September 4 with Rotten Tomatoes near 93 and Metacritic at 89 Universal Acclaim. I am grading the public sheet, not inventing a Popcornmeter.
Na Hong-jin's Hope hits U.S. theaters September 9 with a Rotten Tomatoes card near 77 and a Metacritic near 68. I am grading the public sheet before the lobby opens, not inventing a sequel.
Mayday lands on Apple TV September 4 with Ryan Reynolds, Kenneth Branagh, and a Rotten Tomatoes card in the mid-80s. Metacritic is colder. I am grading the public stream, not inventing a theatrical miracle.
Fall 2: Deadpoint opened at 53 percent and a 54 Metascore. The critics agree the height still works, then argue whether anything around it deserves the climb.
Onslaught opens September 4 with Adria Arjona and Adam Wingard. Rotten Tomatoes sits near 74. This is the critic pile, not opening-night popcorn.
The Dog Stars sits at 39 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and 49 on Metacritic. This is the critic pile, not the Coyote box-office joke.
Holland’s third solo outing works because it is smaller. The machine around it is already trying to make it huge again.
