Maggie Gyllenhaal makes an electrifying feature directorial debut with this stunning adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s novel.

Joel Coen’s impressive solo directorial debut presents Shakespeare’s tragedy as a stylized, bloody thriller – and showcases stunning performances by Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand.

The latest installment in the venerable sci-fi franchise is ingenious, stylish, and surprisingly emotional.

Aaron Sorkin’s Lucille Ball biopic is a mess – indulgent, solemn, and dull. Our review:

Guillermo del Toro’s carny noir is a rich, atmospheric, fatalistic thriller – a feast for the eyes and the darkened soul.

The latest comedy from “Tangerine” director Sean Baker is a fumble, too sympathetic to its loathsome protagonist.

Paul Verhoeven’s “lesbian nun movie” is gleefully provocative, unapologetically bawdy… and surprisingly thoughtful.

Nathalie Biancheri’s latest doesn’t quite come together, but it’s a well-made film with a stunning central performance.

Jane Campion’s thoughtful, complex Western drama is one of the year’s best films.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest is a confident stew of oddball comedy, teen hormones, and ‘70s vibes.

Ridley Scott’s latest is delicious trash, loaded with soap opera theatrics and overstuffed performances.

Jason Reitman’s take on his father’s biggest hit is, hilariously, far more indebted to the work of Steven Spielberg than elder Reitman.
