Reader Recommends: FILM & TV
Our critics review the best on the big and small screens and in the media.
Review: Hit Man
Hit Man is a fun romp set on making Glen Powell a star.
Review: Young Woman and the Sea
A capable cast and crew make Young Woman and the Sea an enjoyable, if predictable, story of empowerment.
Review: The Dead Don’t Hurt
Captivating framing drives this lyrical, romantic western.
Review: Stopmotion
Stopmotion is a brilliant, gory, love/hate letter to art.
Review: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
The newest in the Max Max franchise doesn’t quite fill the shoes of its predecessor, but it’s still a highly compelling odyssey.
