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.

Kenneth Branagh’s latest is wistful, nostalgic, and light as a feather – and that’s its biggest problem.

Rebecca Hall’s period drama is gorgeously photographed, masterfully acted, and sensitively rendered.

Pablo Larraín’s latest micro-biopic is a fascinating exploration of royal anxiety, boosted by a marvelous Kristen Stewart performance.

The Tom Hanks-fronted mash-up of post-apocalyptic sci-fi and human drama is a thoroughly engaging and occasionally moving work.
