Film-Forward

Suzume, like many characters in children’s stories, is an orphan who one day discovers that there is much more to the world than she ever imagined.

Director François Ozon pulls no punches chronicling the heart-wrenching attempts of two daughters to honor their elderly father’s directive: He wants to end his life on his own terms.

The idea of behind this comedy feels a bit like a brisk and breezy throwback to something Goldie Hawn may have starred in the 1980s. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

The director films his half-brother as they both set out to solve a family mystery that has affected so many in so many ways.

Activists head to West Texas, where they assemble to blow up a pipeline in the name of environmental justice.

The main character in Kelly Reichardt’s new, temperate film, could use a little oomph. Or, is that a little ooh la la?

Owen Wilson stars as a Bob Ross–inspired painter in this comedy, which is at its best when it embraces absurdity.

It’s not often you see a compelling movie about the making of a shoe.

Anchored by a bold, fully embodied performance by Teyana Taylor, writer/director A.V. Rockwell’s feature debut is a mesmerizing New York City–set family drama.
