‘Turning Red’ Review
Pixar's groundbreaking project runs the gamut from teen dramedy to action epic, and is timelier than perhaps any of the studio's previous efforts.
‘Drive My Car’ Review
This Best Picture nominee from Japan effortlessly, gracefully conveys the kinds of massive stakes that we tend to reserve for Hollywood's biggest blockbusters.
‘Strawberry Mansion’ Review
Dreams are no sanctuary from capitalism's claws in this movie, which has as much heart and urgency as weirdness.
‘Cyrano’ Review

A strange pairing of director and story flourishes against Decker's intensely mercurial style and Grace Kaufman's gritty, committed lead performance.

‘King Richard’ Review
The story of the man who paved Venus and Serena Williams' path to superstardom is laden with tonal inconsistency but reliably winning chemistry.
'Encanto' Review
The animation studio's latest big-hearted adventure is an affair rooted in home, and in feeling like an outsider in your own family.

Director Robert Greene's newest film is a display of selflessness, and a vital new chapter in the dark saga of abuse covered up by the Catholic church.

The filmmaker takes a breaks from blockbusters for a personal crowdpleaser that wavers between being melancholic and bareboned.
