‘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.
Fantastic Fest Review: ‘Vesper’
The elements are all correct in this passionately rendered dystopian story, but the calculus is off.
‘Pinocchio’ Review
Robert Zemeckis follows up his update of "The Witches" for a remake that's even less memorable.
‘Three Thousand Years of Longing’ Review
High expectations await the Aussie filmmaker's "Mad Max: Fury Road" follow-up, which attempts to be a different kind of epic.
‘The Secrets of Dumbledore’ Review
The latest adventure through the wizarding world, led by Mads Mikkelsen and Jude Law, feels unsure about the overarching story it's telling.

‘The Green Knight’ Review

‘Nine Days’ Review
