Film-Forward

A throwback to the long-revered era of exaggerated 1980s horror.

This transporting film has a reach beyond classical orchestra lovers.

The raw and distressing film depicts how the desire to die found in religion becomes a brutal and sinister way of getting relief.

An uneven period drama about the Tudor monarch’s final spouse that plays fast and loose with the historical record.

A rousing and absorbing look back at a phenomenon that quickly crested and just as quickly disappeared.

An odd, offbeat little gem wrapped up in an 18th-century vampire tale.

Norman Mailer packed more eventful living into a single lifetime than a dozen men.

A gutsy, quiet movie with a tinge of melancholy to go with its offbeat premise.

A whimsical musical and an almost psychedelic trip to the suburbs of Florida; a science-fiction farce loaded with foul language, explicit violence, and sexual references; and an amalgam of noir and black comedy.
