Seattle’s critics were primarily impressed with action films (Dune: Part Two and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga). They also liked some substantive stuff but the performance of Challengers is a bit surprising considering its release much earlier this year. They also seemed to love The Beast, which has been a non-entity this year so far.
