Reviews

Also: A runaway slave’s story, some British ultra-violence, and an Alabama romance.

Worth a look: Sing Me A Song, Mank, News Of the World, First Cow and Bacurau.

Also, 'Soul' from Pixar, 'The Witches,' a woman’s revenge, a famous trial and Ireland clichéd.

Also, more from Whistler, Chinese history redux, Jane Austen updated and a video games romp.

Also, a Black athlete’s troubles and some Vancouver-filmed other realities.

Also, two kid classics reimagined and an action flick from Tonga.

Also, an intimate biography of Frank Zappa and a creepy horror flick from Sweden.

Big films, little gems and something for everyone.

Also, Ron Howard’s new one, an oddball friendship, a chaotic dinner party and one woman’s look at modern morality.

Also, moral issues in wartime, a nursing home and adulthood.

They include citizen scientists, trauma healed and a rare genetic condition.

Also, memories of Oliver Sacks, a wanderer’s life and a tale of oozing autocracy.

Also: A tangled romance in Hong Kong and two other tales that inspire.

New work from Adam Sandler and Robert De Niro, a high school comedy, a couple of tales for Halloween and, thankfully, a very good film about a Black woman trying both playwriting and rapping.

A high school comedy, a timely healthy eating experiment and a mid-life bender.
