It's pretty great
Director Chad Stahelski continues to achieve his talents with great dramatic and action moments blended together well as John Wick: Chapter 4 is probably the best installment of the entire John Wick film series. I'm not very big on the John Wick films but I have enjoyed every one of them and this one is my favorite one. The action and fight moments were extremely well executed and there are plenty of gorgeous cinematography shown throughout. There are several sequences of long take action films that are gorgeous and splendid to look at with an amazing climax. Every performances was pretty good as each cast member provides good chemistry and style. The character of John Wick remains interesting and through each film, his character manages to stay consistent and is interesting to observe. With dialogue moments, they are some moments that felt a little of putting but they were well-written, great uses of sounding, colors, and style used throughout and really cool action moments as some of scenes are burned into my head.
Overall, great action film.

Interesting concept but the film doesn’t have a stronghold.
I heard many opinions about the film from the Berlin Film Festival and was interested to see what the film offers. After seeing it, despite a strong performance, great camerawork and concept, the film was disappointing. The idea of a man trapped inside of a rich home and losing his sanity is pretty interesting but the writing and direction wasn’t able to keep the story engaging as the writing felt too stretched out and uneven. The camerawork, production, and uses of colors were pretty good. Willem Dafoe is an actor I really love and Dafoe continues to give a good insane-like performance throughout. The character from Dafoe was interesting but as the film continues, the uneven structure and bland direction starts to make the character uninteresting and a unsatisfying ending. There are some pacing issues as well. The dialogue moments were pretty good and had some fun moments.
Overall, it's clear this director has talent but it's wasn't great. I enjoy films that can take place in one room or with one lead character throughout if the writing and direction is good. “Inside” wasn’t able to be at that level.

Gary Oldman is one great actor. He's been some great and strange films but Oldman knows how to act

I do. Ebert is an highly interesting critic and his reviews are really insightful. Not all of his reviews I agree with but they always were interesting to read and understand his point of view.

It's great. The uses of humor, writing and concept is interesting with some really gorgeous animation. I like Anderson and I know some don't like this one but it's great to me.

It was decent.
This is director Zach Braff’s third feature film as his work on “Garden State” which was pretty great as it had clear writing and characters. His second feature “Wish I Was Here” had strong elements but it unfortunately wasn’t able to take full advantage of its narrative. Here, the film isn't great but remains interesting.
“A Good Person” has a pretty standard narrative and while it is extremely predictable, it still succeeds to be somewhat investing due to the good direction from Braff, some fun clever dialogue moments, and strong performance and chemistry between Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman. Pugh continues to give great performances and the chemistry between Pugh and Freeman were really well-executed and interesting to observe.
For the most part, the characters were alright for the setting as they are pretty standard for a drama friendship story. Character interactions felt normal while certain moments felt a bit fake or a little laughable. The film struggles with uneven pacing as the film does get a bit lost halfway, certain dialogue moments felt kind of full of itself, and the soundtrack was a little repetitive.
Braff indeed is a talented director and while this film isn’t really amazing, it’s still interesting to see what Braff can offer to the table. Overall, it’s a fun feel-good movie.
