Reviews
‘Wicked: For Good’
The thrillifying follow-up to last year's musical hit fixes flaws in the Broadway show's second act, elevating Cynthia Erivo and making the final stretch feel like a robust tale unto itself.
‘Rental Family’
In Hikari's maudlin and rather unconvincing Tokyo-set feature, a sad American (Brendan Fraser) takes an unconventional acting gig, only to discover a deeper purpose when there are no cameras around.
Critics Pick
‘Sentimental Value’
Joachim Trier tells the moving tale of two sisters, though it's tempting to view it strictly as the story of a filmmaker (Stellan Skarsgård) and his daughter (Renate Reinsve) reconciling through art.
‘Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’
A worthy third entry in the playful sleight-of-hand thriller series. Jesse Eisenberg is verbally locked and loaded as the Four Horsemen team up with a trio of next-generation illusionists.
‘Interior Chinatown’
'Interior Chinatown' Struggles to Turn an Allegorical Novel Into a Show
‘Dune: Prophecy’
HBO Prequel Series 'Dune: Prophecy' Capably Tailors the Epic Franchise to Television
‘Landman’
Taylor Sheridan's 'Landman' Gives the West Texas Oil Fields the 'Yellowstone' Treatment
'The Day of the Jackal’
Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch's 'The Day of the Jackal' Is an Exhilarating Assassin Thriller
‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’
Billie Eilish and producer Finneas keep up their winning streak with a surprising and intimate third album.
‘Atavista’
Childish Gambino's latest is a masterpiece, and a kaleidoscopic showcase for his seemingly endless talents.
‘Dark Times’
Vince Staples searches for light on his new album, his most vulnerable project to date.
‘Radical Optimism’
Dua Lipa's new album is a joyous blast of pop savvy.
‘An Enemy of the People’
Sam Gold's production is an actorly face-off between Jeremy Strong and Michael Imperioli, but the script ultimately let's the audience off the hook.
‘Long Day’s Journey Into Night’
Patricia Clarkson gives a luminous performance in an otherwise uneven revival of Eugene O'Neill's family drama.
‘Tommy’
Strictly for the boomers.
‘Water for Elephants’
The stage adaptation has escapism, enchantment and heart, all elevated to new, literal heights that blend theater and cirque.
