‘The Pale Blue Eye’ Review
"Hostiles" director Scott Cooper swings from the wild west to the wintry east, where occult rituals and violence awaits. It's intriguing, until it isn't.
'Decision to Leave' Review
Park Chan-wook dials down the ferocity for a tender, immensely satisfying heartbreaker.
Fantastic Fest Review: ‘Huesera’
The feature debut by Michelle Garza Cervera is most engaging when it drills down into starkly human anxieties.
‘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.
‘Breaking’ Review
John Boyega plays the real-life veteran Brian Brown-Easley, whose desperation drove him to a tragic end in 2017.
'Prey' Review
Movie No. 7 in the long-running action franchise keeps the splatter intact while introducing an unfamiliar new element: heart.
‘Vengeance’ Review
A journalist desperate to share his voice discovers an opportunity, and Frito pie, in a Lone Star State murder mystery.
‘Resurrection’ Review
Powerhouse performances make this moderately deranged story about past demons and inner demons one to watch.
‘A Banquet’ Review
Ruth Paxton's feature directorial debut is a feast of mood let down by its distracted plot.
‘Sundown’ Review
Answers aren't just elusive in this Mexico-set drama; they're mighty scarce. That makes "Sundown" a fascinating blank canvas of a movie.
‘The Power of the Dog’ Review
Benedict Cumberbatch firmly grasps the reins of Campion's drama with a career-best performance blending menace with curiosity.
‘We Need to Do Something’ Review
Sean King O'Grady's feature debut is a nasty bit of limited-perspective horror dulled by dramatic slightness during a maybe-apocalypse.
‘Old’ Review
The twisty filmmaker rebounds from the mismanaged "Glass" to deliver a beachside allegory as funny and tense as it is poignant.
‘Pig’ Review
Michael Sarnoski's feature debut is defiant in its moods and captivating in its sadness as Nicolas Cage delivers an exemplary performance.
‘No Sudden Move’ Review
The director's best movie since "High Flying Bird" sees him turning his eye once again to capitalistic structures with divinely entertaining panache.
‘The Dry’ Review
Though its script gets bogged down in a carousel of people and perils, Robert Connolly’s sun-baked new movie succeeds thanks to its strong sense of emotional fragility and the questions surrounding its lead character.
‘There Is No Evil’ Review
Mohammed Rasoulof shot his latest project in secrecy, having been targeted by his home country in the past for the revealing stories he tells. It went on to win the Golden Bear in Berlin.
‘The Woman in the Window’ Review
Originally scheduled for pre-pandemic release, Joe Wright's movie writes itself into a suspenseless corner. It lands on Netflix Friday.
‘Wrath of Man’ Review
Jason Statham returns to a cold-blooded world of firefights and fistfights, but there's no tangible drama in this crime drama.
‘Better Days’ Review
Hong Kong's Oscar contender navigates the degrees of dystopian separation between real-world issues and melodramatic fiction, to middling success.
