★★★
This is a film in which exquisite performers deliver tremendous speeches and yet oddly manage to say very little. It all looks gorgeous but that’s really part of the problem.

★★★★★
On face value, Lucky is a parabolic indie drama about isolation and inclusion, age and mortality. But one should never take a film on face value. This is, in fact, a final act, almost documentarian, ode to and showcase for its star: the late, great Harry Dean Stanton.
★★
Clichés prove to be a bad habit in The Nun, a monastic fifth entry in The Conjuring franchise. As a serviceable horror, the film works competently but does so by following a well-furrowed route that can led only to genre dissatisfaction.
