Film-Forward

A work of undeniable talent and poignancy, though it is not easy viewing.

Danger comes from all corners: snipers; huge, voracious rats; and land mines. World War I, in its many facets, is the central character.

The March sisters are back, and Greta Gerwig’s got ‘em, but do moviegoers need another movie of Louisa May Alcott’s family saga?

The Safdie brothers have crafted yet another film that places a character in increasingly high-risk situations that careen between comedy and genuine menace. It’s nowhere close to relaxing, and is none the worse for it.

At the center of Nadav Lapid’s hilarious, disjointed, and unpredictable dramedy lies the age-old theme of identity and what defines it.

The award-wining animated film features one of the most truculent and entrancing characters of the year: a disembodied hand wandering Paris to find its body.

Winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes, Mati Diop’s first feature is an exciting achievement.

Nimble and witty, this Agathe Christie throwback is packed with nudges, winks, and red herrings.
