 Annapurna, 2019. Director Richard Linklater has been on quite a roll with a string of fantastic films, but even the greats deserve a mulligan.
 Neon, 2019. Tough questions are raised, if not addressed, in this quiet yet smoldering drama.
 Columbia Pictures, 2019. Quentin Tarantino's ninth film is a fond revision of the Silver Age of Hollywood, as remembered by someone whose life was changed by it.
 Walt Disney Pictures, 2019. Despite being crushed by critics, the newest version of Disney's "The Lion King" is anything but soulless. Let me explain.
 Bleeker Street Media, 2019. Jesse Eisenberg is perfectly cast as a victim who desperately wants to flip-the-script, in this cleverly-penned examination of toxic masculinity.
 A24, 2019. This powerful film about identity, friendship and finding one's place in the world features one of the best supporting performances of the year thus far...and is worth checking out, despite its painfully slow start and meandering style.
 Amazon Studios, 2019. Mindy Kaling wrote and stars in "Late Night," a comedy that doesn't quite work on any level.
 Bleecker Street Media, 2019. Two great performances by John Lithgow and Blythe Danner isn't enough to save "The Tomorrow Man" from itself.
 Paramount Pictures, 2019. Taron Egerton sets the bar for Best Actor of 2019 with his electric, transformative portrayal of Elton John in the rock-fantasy, "Rocketman."
 Sony Pictures Classics, 2019 Kenneth Branagh has lived to portray William Shakespeare, and does a fine job, but "All is True" seems intended only for fellow die-hard Shakespearean devotees, and no one else.
