Film-Forward

A ghost story of sorts, where the past haunts the celebrated Manhattan home for countless artists.

For fans of the genre, this Regency romance, directed with a sure hand, is closer to a bright, airy soufflé than a stolid pudding.

Three international selections to keep an eye on.

Two European prize winners from the recent festival.

One-third sports documentary and two-thirds exploration of Colin Kaepernick’s role in the Black Lives Matter movement and its ensuing White backlash.

Though supposedly the characters are messy and flawed, the film’s second half feels like a disguised PSA for behaving nice and having functional conversations.

As an auteur filmmaker, Penélope Cruz presumably sends up the directors that she’s surely had to contend with in her career.
