My Father’s Dragon bears little of the depth or artistry that has made Cartoon Saloon features worthy of note in recently years. In The Secret of…
Wendell & Wild has evident ambition, but it’s ultimately far too small. Seemingly focus-tested for maximum appeal to parents who really, really miss Key & Peele,…
The Wonder is undeniably lifted by the strength of its two leads and technical craft, despite a notable failure to satisfy all of Lelio’s ambitions. Rarely…
Falling for Christmas isn’t rewriting the holiday rom-com rulebook, but it’s an appropriately cozy affair aided by appealing production design and an utterly charming Lohan.…
Causeway is a sturdy enough film with fine anchoring performances, but it doesn’t otherwise boast much in the way of substance. It’s been some time since…
My Policeman is a beige, two-hour yawn that fails to live up to superior works occupying the same thematic space. Harry Styles kept finding himself in…
The Metamorphosis of Birds is a sensual and lyrical work that recalls the old masters even as it carves out its own distinct and pleasurable path. …

The fifth installment in Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities is “Pickman’s Model,” inspired by the H.P. Lovecraft story of the same name and directed…
Descendant is a piercing work of ethnography that takes on America’s original sin with intelligence and nuance. Reclaiming history has, historically, been an arduous process, and…
Ana Lily Amirpour’s foray into prestige television isn’t entirely unexpected, given both her affinity with idiosyncratic, highly stylized horror cinema and a cultural demand for…
Of all the directors chosen for Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, David Prior might just be the hippest choice. Prior, formerly known only for…
