‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ Review
Tony Leung is the not-so-secret weapon to the MCU's first origin story since "Captain Marvel," an overlong but exciting and thematically intriguing entry.
‘We Need to Do Something’ Review
Sean King O'Grady's feature debut is a nasty bit of limited-perspective horror dulled by dramatic slightness during a maybe-apocalypse.
‘Ailey’ Review
As much an inquiry into the legacy of Alvin Ailey as a celebration of his art, Neon's new documentary is often as mesmerizing and graceful as its subject.
‘Annette’ Review
The French filmmaker's unpredictable style meshes with the idiosyncratic musical flair of Sparks to create something chaotic, self-referential and moving.
‘CODA’ Review
After triumphing at Sundance earlier this year, Siân Heder's winning sophomore feature is on its way to wringing tears out of the eyes of Apple TV+ subscribers.
‘Days’ Review
Taiwanese filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang's new movie won't entice everyone with its slow and static documentary-like observations. But there's a poetry to its simplicity.
‘The Green Knight’ Review
The director of "A Ghost Story" returns with another deliberately constructed meditation on what it takes to endure, starring a never-been-better Dev Patel.
‘Nine Days’ Review
Edson Oda's ambitious feature debut is stuffed with great performances and aesthetic choices, but the catharsis it seeks to provide is more tremor than shockwave.
‘Jungle Cruise’ Review
The deliriously derivative new based-on-a-Disneyland-ride blockbuster is mostly just a reminder of how inventive these big-screen adventures used to be.
‘Old’ Review
The twisty filmmaker rebounds from the mismanaged "Glass" to deliver a beachside allegory as funny and tense as it is poignant.
‘Settlers’ Review
Wyatt Rockefeller's meditative Mars-set drama works best when it keeps its scope small, its focus tight.
‘Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain’ Review
Like its subject, Morgan Neville's new documentary reveals itself to be a bit of a contradiction.
‘Pig’ Review
Michael Sarnoski's feature debut is defiant in its moods and captivating in its sadness as Nicolas Cage delivers an exemplary performance.
‘Black Widow’ Review
Less an expansive Marvel entry than a deeper one, "Black Widow" stays relatively low to Earth before indulging bombastic tendencies in its third act.
‘No Sudden Move’ Review
The director's best movie since "High Flying Bird" sees him turning his eye once again to capitalistic structures with divinely entertaining panache.
‘The Tomorrow War’ Review
Chris Pratt is back in blockbuster mode, but this sci-fi spectacle proves he's ineffective as the virtuous everyman-turned-hero.
‘The Sparks Brothers’ Review
For the "Baby Driver" and "Hot Fuzz" director, his first documentary is a dream assignment. For the Sparks uninitiated, it's a poignant whirlwind of an education.
‘Luca’ Review
Far from the metaphysical concepts of "Soul," Pixar's latest is a more straightforward and ultimately more human story of friendship and discovery.
‘In the Heights’ Review
The high-energy adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway hit finally arrives in cinemas, dazzlingly making good on a year's worth of anticipation.
