Top Picks

Causeway | TIFF 2022

As the sole lead, Jennifer Lawrence returns in her best film in years.

Other People’s Children | TIFF 2022

Rebecca Zlotowski’s new film stands out for its perspective, that of a single woman at an age when it becomes much harder to make lifelong friends or to enter into entangled relationships that yield deep histories.

Apollo 10 ½: A Space Age Childhood, Prey, RRR | Streaming Hits

These three films, all currently available on streaming services, have won acclaim over the last six months and should be added to viewers’ watch lists—if they haven’t already.

The Good Boss

A fine and engaging dark comedy of the lying and hypocrisy of the business world.

Free Chol Soo Lee

A fascinating look back at events that would shape the political views of Asian Americans up to the present day, as well as an intimate portrait of an important, if flawed, real-life figure.

Girl Picture

A new entry in the coming-of-age category, Girl Picture offers a lot of charm and heart, and even outstrips some competitors in its own modest way. 

Resurrection

A horror film that fully embraces its fairy-tale roots (stories of a boogeyman who devours children) and goes to some wild and grotesque extremes.

Medusa

Candy-colored and stylized and often surreal as it is, the provocative Medusa contains a lot that feels very relevant right now.

Nope

A popcorn film—by design—and a blast, meant to be seen in a large theater with lots of people.
