Bugonia works tremendously as a thriller. It's insane in all the right ways.

Ballad of a Small Player is held back by a generic and undercooked screenplay, pacing problems, a jumpy structure, and a lack of engaging side characters.

Leo Woodall proves that he can be a leading man in his role as Niki. But overall, Tuner feels like an amalgamation of lots of other films rather than one in its own right.
