Click through the linked movies to read my full reviews, though! These are categorized in alphabetical order, and for more info on the somewhat self-explanatory categories, click here to read more about them.

PURCHASING FOR MY COLLECTION
AMERICAN MADE
DARKEST HOUR
Incredible performance by Oldman, nailing the subtle moments, but too many "I'M ACTING RIGHT NOW" scenes. The rest of the movie is decent, liked the cinematography choices.
I, TONYA
An amazingly showy performance film. Loved the angle the movie took, but didn't like the music drops, making it feel very episodic and therefore longer.
