'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.
‘Strange World’ Review
This "Journey to the Center of the Earth"-esque adventure teases visual innovation before dashing it for been-there-done-that style and story.
‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Review
The loss of Chadwick Boseman helps shade Ryan Coogler's highly anticipated follow-up, when it isn't overcompensated with other storytelling duties.
‘Causeway’ Review
The two actors, best-known for participating in tentpole franchises, quiet things down for a deliberately paced drama that showcases their talents.
‘Wendell & Wild’ Review
The "Coraline" director partners with Jordan Peele for his latest creepy-crawly adventure, this one spotlighting institutional evils.
‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ Review
Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson make full good on their "In Bruges" reunion as two ex-chums engaged in social warfare.
‘Till’ Review
So astonishing is Danielle Deadwyler as Emmett Till's mother that she adds entirely new dimensions to a familiar story, and a familiar kind of story.
Fantastic Fest Review: ‘All Jacked Up and Full of Worms’
Director Alex Phillips has devised a 72-minute movie that probably can't be compared to much else, and that certainly won't be for everyone.
Fantastic Fest Review: ‘Vesper’
The elements are all correct in this passionately rendered dystopian story, but the calculus is off.
Fantastic Fest Review: ‘Huesera’
The feature debut by Michelle Garza Cervera is most engaging when it drills down into starkly human anxieties.
Fantastic Fest Review: 'Unidentified Objects'
By casting a little person in the lead role of his scifi-inflected adventure, Juan Felipe Zuleta creates new possibilities for a well-worn template.
‘Speak No Evil’ Review
This amusingly grim Sundance stunner arrives on Shudder this week, and ruptures through the limits of fiction when it’s at its best.
‘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.
‘Breaking’ Review
John Boyega plays the real-life veteran Brian Brown-Easley, whose desperation drove him to a tragic end in 2017.
'A Love Song' Review
The ferocious and ferociously prolific character actor finally gets a starring role that makes full use of her versatility in this touching drama.
‘Spin Me Round’ Review
The latest from the director of "Horse Girl" and "The Little Hours" is a flavorless blend of tone that never finds its right proportions.
‘Emily the Criminal’ Review
Plaza, playing a debt-ridden Angelano enticed toward the criminal underworld, fully sheds herself of the comic pretensions that have long defined her.
