‘Renfield’ Review
It's somewhat surprising we went this long without Nic Cage slipping into Dracula's cowl. It wasn't entirely worth it.
‘Chupa’ Review
At just 95 minutes, the family-friendly affair doesn't overstay its welcome. But it does have unfulfilled potential.
‘The Unheard’ Review
Suspense and catharsis are mined from the same place in Jeffrey Brown's plodding horror/drama.
‘If You Were the Last’ Review
Music video veteran Kristian Mercado subverts lost-among-the-stars tropes with his "When Harry Met Sally"-in-space SXSW highlight.
‘Flamin’ Hot’ Review
Eva Longoria's narrative directorial debut breezily tells a debunked story of Mexican-American ingenuity, and misses an opportunity in the process.
'My Drywall Cocoon' Review
Caroline Fioratti's drama brushes with interesting ideas but is, maybe intentionally, as directionless as its ensemble.
‘The Long Game’ Review
The Del Rio Mustangs made history and broke barriers when they won the state title in 1957. Julio Quintana gives their story a sleek, effective conviction.
‘Champions’ Review
Woody Harrelson stars as a downtrodden coach assigned to a Special Olympics team in a comedy that doesn't get its priorities straight.
‘Women Talking’ Review
As her documentary “Stories We Tell” taught and this movie’s exemplary ensemble shows, Sarah Polley has an eye for pinpointing deeper layers of consequence.
‘The Son’ Review
Florian Zeller's follow-up to his Oscar-winning "The Father" lacks the finesse, empathy and gusto of his debut.
'Broker' Review
"Parasite" star Song Kang-ho stars as a child trafficker in a stirring new South Korea-set drama that's more uplifting than its premise suggests.
‘The Pale Blue Eye’ Review
"Hostiles" director Scott Cooper swings from the wild west to the wintry east, where occult rituals and violence awaits. It's intriguing, until it isn't.
‘White Noise’ Review
There's ambition in Noah Baumbach's colorful and catastrophic ode to the American family, but not much else.
‘Corsage’ Review
Vicky Krieps turns in her most impressive effort since "Phantom Thread" as a sovereign out to save herself.
‘Bardo’ Review
The director of "Birdman" and "The Revenant" returns to his native Mexico to confront personal and national legacies.
‘Empire of Light’ Review
Despite ravishing atmosphere, this lackluster effort grasps for profundity but falls perilously short.
‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ Review
James Cameron's fantastical world is wider, wetter and a touch more profound in this long-anticipated sequel to the 2009 juggernaut.
'Decision to Leave' Review
Park Chan-wook dials down the ferocity for a tender, immensely satisfying heartbreaker.
‘A Wounded Fawn’ Review
Travis Stevens's movie starts out narratively straightforward before shifting into another thing entirely, with the force of a snapping bone.
'Pinocchio' Review
The "Pan's Labyrinth" director treads closer to that sublime masterwork with an adaptation that restores a classic story's power.
