Midsommar (2019)

A couple travels to Sweden to visit a rural hometown's fabled mid-summer festival. What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.

While made in top quality with an involving performance by Florence Pugh and some unsettling scenes, the plot is quite muddled and offers a disappointing ending.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

Young hero Thomas embarks on a mission to find a cure for a deadly disease known as "The Flare".

OK post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama aimed at a more adolescent audience has is mildly entertaining.

Detroit (2017)

Fact-based drama set during the 1967 Detroit riots in which a group of rogue police officers respond to a complaint with retribution rather than justice on their minds. 

Harrowing reconstruction of a historical event exposing a shocking racist misuse of police officers' authority; excellently directed and photographed, and very convincingly performed by the cast.

 

The Revenant (2015)

A frontiersman on a fur trading expedition in the 1820s fights for survival after being mauled by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team.

Spectacular landscape photography and excellent performances can't disguise the fact that this is essentially an upgraded Western revenge story.
