“Wicker” is a joyously bawdy fairy tale, a cheeky remix of “Beauty and the Beast,” and a sly satire of social hierarchies, with some poignant themes of mortality. It is wildly unexpected and a ton of fun.

The latest from stop-motion animation studio LAIKA is one of the best films of the year. It is an astonishing achievement, spectacularly beautiful, touching, exciting, and meaningful.

An exceptionally thoughtful and often hilarious documentary.

The new version of “Sense and Sensibility” is based on the classic Jane Austen book about two sisters, which has already inspired a beloved 1995 film starring Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet with Thompson’s Oscar-winning screenplay, as well as a 1971 four-part BBC miniseries, a 1981 seven-part BBC miniseries, a three-part BBC miniseries, two Hallmark movies, as well as many lightly inspired variations including one starring the Duff sisters and one called “From Prada to Nada.” So, any new version

The film aims to bring to life the imagination a child brings to his toys, and it delivers.

May be the most important film of the year.

I can understand why BookTok-to-besteller author Colleen Hoover wrote a book about a bestselling author. And I can understand why two of Hollywood’s most accomplished and talented actresses would want to produce and star in a book by a best-selling author with two juicy parts for women. But ooof, despite Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson doing their best, this movie is a dumb, dull, dud.

An inspiring story of Twiggy’s extraordinary resilience through difficult times.

Rinko Kikuchi is radiant in the film.

Two former military, both with some PTSD, camp out in the Alaska wilderness. One is James (Brad Pitt), a retired special forces soldier, and the other is a scout dog named Odin, who was injured in action and now has titanium teeth and a prosthetic leg. “The Heart of the Beast” is the term for the area, for its distance from the trappings of civilzation in mileage and difficulty, but it is also a reference to the two souls who would prefer to maintain that distance.

“Forgotten Island” is a colorful story about friendship and memory, inspired by Filipino folklore. Jo and Raissa meet as children in the waiting area for the principal’s office. They are very different, Jo (H.E.R.), a fierce, impulsive chaos agent and Raissa (Liza Soberano), deliberate, thoughtful, and academically-oriented. Jo lives with her beloved grandmother, Lola (Dolly De Leon) but feels abandoned by her parents, who have moved to the US. Raissa has a more comfortable life with devoted par

A meditation on violence, grief, memory, trauma, and locating the line between justice and revenge.

Edwards clearly gained the trust of the people at the company over the eight years of filming.

Fall is usually when we begin to get more dramas, biographical films, and potential award nominees. But there are some likely blockbusters, festival favorites, and long-awaited sequels/prequels, too. Note: we have two movies with almost identical names, both action movies about saving a child. Don’t confust “The Runner” with “Runner.”

“Narcissist’s Playbook” is a feature-length documentary exploring one of the most pervasive and often misunderstood mental pathologies in our culture: Narcissism.Shot in seven countries and viewed through the lens of four self-confessed, self-aware…

One of the most unnerving twists of the year occurs about two-thirds of the way into “The Narcissist’s Playbook,” a documentary about people who are incapable of empathy and, because they do not feel love, compassion, tenderness, or joy, often inflict abuse on others to feel powerful or just to feel anything at all.
