There’s nothing all that suspenseful about the action within Elsinore. That’s the way of things when you’re watching a biopic that turns on a singular event: actor Ian Charleson (Andrew Scott) is determined to portray Hamlet on the stage of the National Theatre before he dies of AIDS. It really happened, it was – by all […]
Taika Waititi takes on the job of adapting Kazuo Ishiguro’s dark sci-fi novel Klara and the Sun and turns it into a whimsical fable.

The Liberation is a frustrating film. It had a series of truly spectacular performances to anchor the complex themes of the story – a story that is based on writer-director Guy Nattiv’s own grandmother’s life story. But it also has an incredibly unsatisfying ending – not unsatisfying in what happens in the film’s final fifteen […]
The 2026 version of Street Fighter is the third attempt at starting a live-action Street Fighter film series. This attempt is a silly, campy adaptation of the popular video game series. In 1993, M.

I’ll admit I know precious little about Thomas Mann, the central figure that looms large both within and over Paweł Pawlikowski’s gorgeous film Fatherland. But that doesn’t matter, as Pawlikowski and screenwriter Henk Handloegten care less about diving into the biographical elements of Mann’s story – in this case, his trip to a divided Germany in […]
The Social Reckoning is the spiritual sequel to 2010’s The Social Network.

Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allan White) is an investigative journalist who takes up a tech reporting job in the Wall […]
The Peasants’ Revolt is one of the great historical events that schoolchildren in England are taught. It finally gets a film retelling thanks to Paul Greengrass. In 1381, England was reeling from the aftermath of the Black Death. Half the population had died, and everyone had lost someone, including a nameless ploughman (Andrew Garfield) in […]
Blumhouse and Atomic Monster aced the marketing game for Other Mommy. Its trailer debuted before The Odyssey, and reportedly played ahead of every screening. Promoting it in front of the highest-grossing R-rated movie of the year gave them even more bang for their buck, ensuring it would get maximum attention. Especially since its trailer pulled […]
