Reviews

  • Critics Pick

    ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’

    An even grander follow-up to 'Godzilla Minus One.' The very human heroes of the first film return, as does Takashi Yamazaki's awesome ability to create monster action paintings in motion.

    Godzilla Minus Zero

  • ‘The Cat in the Hat’

    Bill Hader voices the Cat in the Hat in a cartoon so elaborately overstuffed it's like a Marvel movie for tots. It's a blockbuster mash-up that leaves the innocent wildness of Dr. Seuss in the dust.

    Cat in the Hat
  • Critics Pick

    ‘Wild Horse Nine’

    John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell are a perfect double act in Martin McDonagh's drolly melancholic '70s caper about two CIA agents, on holiday on Easter Island, who reckon with their present and past.

    Wild Horse Nine

  • ‘Drummer Boy’

    Love, family, and revolution conflict at musket's point in a pleasant if simplistic patriotic musical — a collaboration between Angel Studios and the Christian pop duo For King + Country.

  • ‘The Romantic’

    Bruno Mars makes a leisure suit of a record, doubling down on Silk Sonic's hermetically sealed '70s revivalism.
