Steve Murray ArtsATL Oct 15, 2026 If you like this sort of serial procedural and that cranky father-son dynamic, the Netflix film The Whisper Man looks like a no-brainer. And yeah, it’s definitely in search of a brain. Go to Full Review The Whisper Man (2026) 45% - -

Steve Murray ArtsATL Aug 10, 2026 It’s all adapted and directed by painter Julian Schnabel, who can make movies both great (Before Night Falls; The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) and mind-blowingly bad (this one). Go to Full Review In the Hand of Dante (2025) 28% - -

Steve Murray ArtsATL May 15, 2026 Director Baltasar Kormákur keeps things moving relentlessly through the jungle, ravines and whitewater rapids, the stars are believably well matched and Jeremy Robbins’ screenplay has a couple of nicely gruesome surprises. Go to Full Review Apex (2026) 68% - -

Steve Murray ArtsATL Apr 23, 2026 I’m a sucker for time-travel narratives, with all their mind games and paradoxes. So I enjoyed the setup for writer-director BenDavid Grabinski’s flick but felt let down by the action-comedy cliches that clog its second half.

Steve Murray ArtsATL Jan 14, 2026 "Wake Up" is too long, too complicated and gives everyone besides Brolin, O’Connor and Close (who has a blast here) too little to do. But it’s still a kick. Go to Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% - -

Steve Murray ArtsATL Jan 14, 2026 Wow, is this thing lazy, self-indulgent and self-satisfied. Go to Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% - -

Steve Murray ArtsATL Dec 6, 2025 Hoss is fantastic -- both powerful and nuanced in ways that create a character deeper and more tragic than anything Thompson summons. I found myself wanting to see her take on Hedda Gabler instead. Go to Full Review Hedda (2025) 90% - -

Steve Murray ArtsATL Nov 11, 2025 While it won’t supplant my personal favorites (The Devil’s and Backbone Pan’s Labyrinth), Frankenstein is a return to form for del Toro... It’s a signature fusion of blood, brains and heart. Go to Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% - -

Steve Murray ArtsATL Oct 3, 2025 The unexpected consequence of the movie is that the longer you spend time with Simon and Laura, the less you care whether they get together for keeps. Go to Full Review All of You (2024) 73% - -

Steve Murray ArtsATL Oct 3, 2025 The mystery, in the first of what will likely be a series of films, isn’t really that interesting. But it draws in fine stage-and-screen actors like David Tennant, Jonathan Pryce, Naomie Ackie and Daniel Mays. Go to Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% - -

Steve Murray ArtsATL Sep 12, 2025 The movie’s biggest casting error is front and center. Is anybody less plausible to play a beat-down American named Lynette than the elegant Kirby, who grew up posh in London? Go to Full Review Night Always Comes (2025) 52% - -
