Reads like a troubled mind within a resonant manner. (✯✯✯✯✯)

Finds Assayas in a more experimental state than ever, and always hypnotizing. (✯✯✯✯½)

As frenetic as the scene may have been, but not without its irresistible charm. (✯✯✯✯✯)

Works as both a B-movie tribute together with a thoughtful lesson about the importance of family. (✯✯✯✯½)

Not particularly lasting in its most effective moments which are dragged down. (✯✯✯)

Feels monotone up until its far-fetched climax. (✯✯½)

Starts off a slog with two bad segments before getting to the good. (✯✯½)

Exposes a new self for Adam Sandler that should be coming out more, in all of its thoughtfulness. (✯✯✯✯✯)
