Bottoms Movie Review: The Best Comedy of the Year

Bottoms succeeds thanks to the incredible performances of Rachel Sennott & Ayo Edebiri and the sharpest script of the year.

Dreamin’ Wild is one of the most emotionally powerful movies of the year, with Casey Affleck delivering the performance of his career.

Helen Mirren smokes excessive amounts of cigarettes to distract audiences from Golda’s problematic aspects.

While Final Cut is mildly enjoyable, it’s not as good as One Cut of the Dead and feels too close to the original text.

Jennifer Lawrence is exceptional in No Hard Feelings, one of the funniest comedies of the year.

While The Machine doesn’t benefit greatly from its narrative, the film itself remains releatively fun thanks to Bert Kreischer and Mark Hamill.

Robert De Niro carries Laura Terruso’s About My Father, which is an otherwise dated and familiar comedy.

Despite a breakneck structure going for it, Jalmari Helander’s SISU, unfortunately, offers very little thrills.

Ajay Devgn remakes Kaithi and transforms it into a no-holds-barred, mind-melting superhero actioner in Bholaa.

Zhang Yimou’s Full River Red is a visually intricate whodunit thriller with superb performances and taut action.
