Cyrano
This is a decent adaptation of the material in most ways, except for Peter Dinklage’s performance, which raises it to a higher level.

The Worst Person in the World
It is amusing, whimsical, sad, funny and touching. This is absolutely one of the best movies of 2021.

Nightmare Alley
The look of the movie is impressive because of how unshowy it is, though a lot of thought has obviously been put into every frame.
