Ruben Östlund’s Cannes winner is a savagely funny indictment of class, celebrity, and culture, even if it occasionally makes its points a bit too bluntly. Our review:

Billy Eichner and Nicholas Stoller’s new gay rom-com barely manages to spice the too-familiar with anything remotely new.

Disney’s long-awaited spooky season sequel is a cynical, careless cash grab.

Andrew Dominik’s Marilyn Monroe drama offers a star vehicle for Ana de Armas — and a punishing experience for the audience.

Olivia Wilde’s MUCH-discussed psychological drama may not have justified the festival hubbub, but it’s still worth checking out.

Gina Prince-Bythewood’s latest has all the hallmarks of a franchise blockbuster — kickass action, fist-pumping triumphs, a rousing score, etc. — but sets itself apart by centering Black women in its narrative.

Ti West’s ‘X’ prequel is a very different film from its predecessor – and, thanks to the tour de force performance at its center, it may be a better one.

This contemporary take on ‘Dog Day Afternoon’ is well-acted, well-executed, and morally complicated.
