Being Mary Tyler Moore

This probing and impactful documentary of America’s long-time television sweetheart is a study of stardom, feminism, and insecurity. Director James Adolphus tracks Moore’s career from the earliest days and offers plenty of insight from colleagues, friends, and Moore herself to help us discover what made her tick, as she grew […]

Robots

It may have a decent amount of promise—Shailene Woodley and Jack Whitehall starring, a thought-provoking plot, a script co-written by Ant Hines (‘Borat’)—but nothing in this horrible misfire comes together to become anything even remotely entertaining. A decade in the future, people can buy lifelike robotic versions of themselves, but […]

Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie

As heartbreaking as it is inspirational, this powerful film about the ‘Back to the Future’ star’s battle with Parkinson’s is as fine a documentary as you’ll see this year. Director Davis Guggenheim (‘He Named Me Malala’) lets Fox tell his story, warts and all, and spares us the traditional documentary […]

The Mother

Jennifer Lopez kills it (literally) in this suspense-action flick that never feels wholly original but still manages to ride its taut pace and her charisma all the way to the finish line. Lopez stars as a former military-operative-turned-FBI-informant who, duh, can’t escape her past, especially when it takes her estranged […]

Netflix’s latest foray into Hallmark-level schlock stars Rachael Leigh Cook as a travel executive sent to Vietnam to scout a possible tour company acquisition. Stuffed to the gills with gorgeous scenery, a CliffsNotes to Vietnamese culture, and oodles of cute little moments, it’s actually a decent date-night option with a […]

Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret.

Adapted and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig (2016’s outstanding ‘The Edge of Seventeen’), this long-awaited adaptation of Judy Blume’s groundbreaking 1970 novel is an absolute joy from start to finish. Craig’s gift for telling a great story superbly well, without neglecting the little things that provide some much-appreciated realism (look […]

Ghosted

Chris Evans is a local farmers’ market vendor who falls for Ana de Armas… not knowing she’s an international spy. After the obligatory ‘You’re a spy?!’ moments, the movie settles into halfway-decent territory, as both stars (along with a handful of pitch-perfect cameos) help make what could have been a […]

Air

Ben Affleck directs this dialogue-driven nostalgia trip back to the early days of Nike, when the company bet everything on the extremely unlikely chance that they could sign Michael Jordan. Sure, we all know how (and how well) the story ends, but Affleck continues to strut his stuff in the […]

Prom Pact

Taking its cue from oh-so-many 80s pop culture gems (‘The Breakfast Club’, ‘Dirty Dancing’, ‘Pretty in Pink’), this fun and funny high school comedy is reminiscent of 2022’s ‘Honor Society’—about an over-achieving girl who will do anything to get into Harvard. Writer Anthony Lombardo (TV’s ‘Modern Family’ and ‘American Housewife’) […]
