‘Brother from Another Planet’ Has an Intriguing Premise, But It Struggles to Sustain a Feature-Length Movie
Our curiosity depletes before the journey has ended — or has just begun.
-
She’s Got It
On ‘The Girl Can’t Help It.’
-
The Dance
On Fritz Lang’s Indian epic
-
A Life Ahead
On ‘Minari’ and ‘The World to Come.’
-
‘Danger: Diabolik”s Eye-Catching Comic-Book Style
At times the movie suggests a fashion magazine’s idea of pulp storytelling.
-
Her Future
On ‘The World’s a Little Blurry.’
-
‘Night of the Comet’: One to Remember
‘Night of the Comet’ loses some of its vigor once the action moves to the scientist base. By then it’s become clear that the movie doesn’t need a sci-fi-typical climactic showdown to be effective.
-
Is What It Is
On ‘Monster Hunter’ and ‘Space Sweepers.’
-
‘I’ll See You in My Dreams’ Lingers
The movie pleasantly moves along as a textured and sincere examination of a septuagenarian’s life.
-
All I Want
On ‘Nomadland,’ ‘I Care a Lot,’ and ‘Saint Maud.’
-
‘The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot’ Should Be More Fun Than It Is
But Sam Elliott is so good as the character that I’m nonetheless glad to have spent some time with him.
-
On ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’
Notes on Shaka King’s frequently electrifying but oftentimes thinly rendered biographical drama.

On Julia Loktev’s towering, terrifying ‘My Undesirable Friends: Part I — Last Air in Moscow.’

Everything Everywhere
William Greaves’ ‘Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One’ is almost 60 years old and still feels ahead of the curve.

Next Big Things
Gregory La Cava’s ‘Stage Door’ is often at once hysterically funny and brutally pragmatic about the personal toll a career in entertainment can take.
