Holiday Doldrums

The Onion AV Club (no relation) just unleashed another string of mediocre grades for the latest releases. Ten reviews in a row range from B-minus to C:

• Mowgli
• Vox Lux
• Ben Is Back
• Aquaman
• Capernaum
• Bird Box
• Mortal Engines
• Mary Poppins Returns
• The House That Jack Built
• The Mule

The string was broken by last night's A-minus review for Barry Jenkins' "If Beale Street Could Talk."
