Wicked
The movie is well-made, yet unimaginative. It is a basic family-friendly spectacular in time for the holidays.

Your Monster
The charm of the performers, as well as some amusingly straightforward writing, carries this past its clichés for a while.

Poor Things
It is a compelling story, very well-directed, with excellent performances and a clever, almost fairytale-like, design.

Wonka
Instead of being the lazy fan-service I feared, it is a legitimately entertaining family-friendly adventure.

The Boy and the Heron
It is touching, thought-provoking and, if this does prove to be the final cinematic treat we receive from this legend, a worthy goodbye.

The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes
Uncomplicated, simple, enjoyable, engaging, heartwarming and just plain likable, with moments of true beauty.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
The strategy this time is to mix the D&D mythology with the durable Marvel formula to produce something very familiar.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
The comedy here feels out of place considering that our heroes are facing an enemy who could lead to the end of all life.

Three Thousand Years of Longing
Director/cowriter George Miller has crafted his own lovely story, about love, patience, loneliness and storytelling itself.
