Oxygen
A review by Thom Ernst for Original-Cin2021-05-14
The dubbing is a distraction that undermines Laurent’s efforts and robs the movie of much of its intensity and some of its integrity. Still, the movie engages as a mystery with a countdown element that effectively raises the stakes to nail-biting anxiety.Read entire review on Original-Cin -
Oxygen
A review by Leah Greenblatt for Entertainment Weekly2021-05-14
A film literally made from thin air, the French thriller Oxygen (on Netflix starting Friday) is a neat little sci-fi nightmare; a cool-toned exercise in claustrophobia that nearly pulls off the innate improbabilities of its high-concept nonsense.Read entire review on Entertainment Weekly -

A review by David Rooney for The Hollywood Reporter2021-05-14
In terms of sustaining a narrative using only FaceTime, Skype, Facebook, video downloads and various other web pages and social media platforms, Profile is quite impressive up to a point. In terms of coherent plotting and plausibility, not so much. That means that as the storytelling falls apart, the online framework devolves into a labored tech gimmick, and a visually tiresome one at that.Read entire review on The Hollywood Reporter -

A review by Guy Lodge for Variety2021-05-14
Bekmambetov’s cumulatively hysterical film begins as a study of terror before lurching into something closer to horror.Read entire review on Variety -

A review by Wendy Ide for Screen Daily2021-05-14
The story is told entirely on a computer screen, through skype, social media and editing programs. And despite the restrictions of this device, the film crackles with tension.Read entire review on Screen Daily -
Spiral: From the Book of Saw
A review by Lena Wilson for The New York Times2021-05-13
The premise is disingenuous at best and, in a moment where scores of citizens are calling for widespread police reform, fearmongering at worst. Like Jigsaw offering one of his facile riddles, this film is not as clever as it thinks it is.Read entire review on The New York Times -
Spiral: From the Book of Saw
A review by Robert Daniels for Los Angeles Times2021-05-13
If Spiral hoped to reinvent the franchise, the dull installment merely amounts to bad fan fiction.Read entire review on Los Angeles Times -
Spiral: From the Book of Saw
A review by Bilge Ebiri for New York Magazine (Vulture)2021-05-13
Spiral: From the Book of Saw, delivers mildly on the torture-porn front, but its tone and focus are decidedly different. It resolves to fix this series’ clichés with a different set of clichés. It does have star power, however, which is refreshing.Read entire review on New York Magazine (Vulture) -
Spiral: From the Book of Saw
A review by John Nugent for Empire2021-05-13
Spiral makes an admirable stab at defibrillating an old franchise — but ultimately wastes its stars, caught in the same bear-trap of a formula that befell earlier sequels.Read entire review on Empire -
Spiral: From the Book of Saw
A review by Richard Roeper for Chicago Sun-Times2021-05-13
It spirals downward into a ludicrous, dumbed-down horror story more concerned with grossing out the audience than in providing any compelling reason for this long-running franchise to keep chugging along, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.Read entire review on Chicago Sun-Times -
Spiral: From the Book of Saw
A review by Jenny Nulf for Austin Chronicle2021-05-13
Spiral embodies the franchise James Wan and Leigh Whannell built, while being totally refurbished for a new generation.Read entire review on Austin Chronicle -
New Pokemon Snap
A review for Game Rant2021-05-13
Many fans have been waiting for a Pokemon Snap sequel since their childhood, and while it may not exactly be what they imagined, it's a solid experience and highlights what has been sorely been missed in the franchise. New Pokemon Snap is a worthwhile sequel, a relaxing journey through the Pokemon world, and fun to play in the comfort of one's home or on the go.Read entire review on Game Rant -

Before We Leave
A review for MGG Spain2021-05-13
A city builder that is a completely different animal compared with the regular games on the genre. All you have to do here is know the basics and build a better world, without the risks of being attacked. An engaging experience that is also pretty entertaining but sometime feels shallow and doesn't have enough replayability.Read entire review on MGG Spain -
Together Together
A review by Jim Slotek for Original-Cin2021-05-13
Hovering over Together Together is the expectation that two people who enjoy each other’s company as much as Matt and Anna do will eventually end up together. Beckwith plays with this trope nicely.Read entire review on Original-Cin -
The Woman in the Window
A review by Richard Lawson for Vanity Fair2021-05-13
The movie is a pallid, dull slog of bad acting and worse storytelling.Read entire review on Vanity Fair -
The Woman in the Window
A review by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post2021-05-13
The long-gestating thriller The Woman in the Window, based on A.J. Finn’s novel, is here, and it sure is dusty.Read entire review on New York Post -
The Woman in the Window
A review by Mick LaSalle for San Francisco Chronicle2021-05-13
The Woman in the Window is, unfortunately, one of Wright’s amazingly bad movies, and this is a shame, with Amy Adams at the center of it.Read entire review on San Francisco Chronicle -
The Woman in the Window
A review by A.O. Scott for The New York Times2021-05-13
The result is something that intermittently looks and sounds like a good movie without ever actually being one.Read entire review on The New York Times -
The Woman in the Window
A review by Justin Chang for Los Angeles Times2021-05-13
Adams tries, as always, to make intelligent choices, to underplay the intensity and avoid the obvious. She works against the freneticism of the filmmaking, emphasizing Anna’s moments of groundedness and lucidity as well as the instinctive empathy that likely made her a good psychologist to begin with. By rights she should be the centerpiece of a great and genuinely Hitchcockian thriller. This one is for the birds.Read entire review on Los Angeles Times
