Anya Taylor-Joy

For a film premised upon skewering the rich, “The Menu” only succeeds in crisping the surfaces of its elite subjects when one takes a closer look.

There is no dearth of ambition in Robert Eggers’ third feature, which forsakes arid Viking drudgery — the kind mired in the myriad folktales “The Northman” sources from — for orgiastic, chainmail-clad antics.

In “Spencer,” Kristen Stewart delivers undeniably the most talked about performance of the year, and it's not difficult to see why.

Although not as flashy or precise as some of Wright’s other works, “Last Night in Soho” is undeniably pleasant to look at and boasts some truly stunning scenery.

Here's a guide to some of the most exciting 2020 movies that are finally coming out in 2021 after being delayed due to the pandemic.

With Taylor-Joy’s gazing eyes and sharp wits pounding through the screen, the audience is transported to the front row of her countless intense chess matches. If you ever thought chess was boring, “The Queen’s Gambit” will surely convince you otherwise.

“The Queen’s Gambit” plays all the right moves to achieve dramatic success.

The film is a far walk from awful, but beyond its insipidly gorgeous surface lies little more than a confoundingly risk-averse display of tedium.

At this point, it’s become apparent that Shyamalan feels obligated to stick some kind of sneaky twist into every movie he directs, whether or not such a twist is warranted. “Glass” boasts more than a couple of twists, turns and revelations, but they aren’t earned and only inspire indifference.
