With its buzzy marketing, “Longlegs” has been an unexpected horror hit. Nathan Weinbender says that it’s a stylishly made and ultimately promising nightmare that loses steam as it goes along and has to explain its plot.

“Longlegs” features Nicolas Cage once again playing a character who is less scary than merely strange, Dan Webster says in his review.

The horror franchise that began with "X" and "Pearl" is now a trilogy. Director Ti West and star Mia Goth return to that sleazy world with "MaXXXine" but Nathan Weinbender says it’s too unfocused and overburdened with film references to stack up to its predecessors.

“Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” is Kevin Costner’s overly long, far too complicated Western opus, Dan Webster says in his review.

Only a few months after his film “Poor Things” cleaned up at the Oscars, Yorgos Lanthimos is back with the bizarre, pitch black comedy “Kinds of Kindness.” Nathan Weinbender says it’s an acquired taste, even for fans of the Greek director’s strange work.

“Ghostlight” is a meditation on how art can help even the most repressed person find a reprieve from grief, Dan Webster says in his review.

“Tuesday” is a confounding tale of a troubled mother facing the impending death of her daughter, Dan Webster says in his review.

Now streaming on Netflix, the dark comedy “Hit Man” is the latest from top-tier director Richard Linklater. Nathan Weinbender says the movie is a bit too lightweight to sell some of its more complex ideas, but it gets by the charisma of star and co-writer Glen Powell.

“Babes” is a funny, touching, on occasion irreverent and bawdy study of modern friendship, Dan Webster says in his review.

Much has been made about George Miller’s latest action spectacle, "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” not setting the box office alight. It’s too bad, Nathan Weinbender says, because it’s a brilliantly made epic that’s so much richer—and faster—than most Hollywood blockbusters.
