In "When You Finish Saving the World," Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard give solid performances, but are failed by Jesse Eisenberg's pat screenplay.

"Emancipation" works best as a gripping action-thriller featuring a powerful performance by Will Smith, but its screenplay hinders it from being anything more.

There is a beauty and poignancy within "Empire of Light," the new film from writer/director Sam Mendes, that is something akin to a cathartic experience.
