Tom Cruise Bloviates His Way Through the Aggressively Unfunny Digger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes great movies are complicated movies. But not all complicated movies are great, and some directors can’t distinguish between the act of making a meaningful picture and pulling off an elaborate parlor trick. Digger, the eighth feature film from Alejandro G. Iñárritu, is pure, empty-headed trickery, a drab-looking gewgaw with a million moving parts and nothing to say, even if it desperately claws at profundity every minute. Greed is evil! Big oil is killing the planet! Human beings are in
In 'Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty!,' Dance and Desire Are Remedies for Grief (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Grief does funny things to people; sometimes it even makes them a little crazy. That’s what happens to bereaved widow Haru, played by Rinko Kikuchi, in Josef Kubota Wladyka’s bittersweet comedy Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! Haru lives happily in Tokyo with her husband, Luis (Alejandro Edda), who’s also her dance partner—the two enjoy competitive ballroom dancing, a joyous physical representation of the relaxed, real-life romance that plays out at home. Then Luis is taken from Haru. She stops seeing
Mahershala Ali Balances Tenderness and Swagger in 'Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No one really wants to talk about religious rage, the complex resentment when you feel your God has abandoned you: We like our faith to be tidy and count-your-blessings clean, not clouded with doubt and fury. In writer-director Bassam Tariq’s action thriller Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, Mahershala Ali plays Latif, a Houston, Texas, hit man who’s also, ostensibly, a devout Muslim: He strives to be a man of faith even as he’s breaking bones (and more) in the name of Allah. Then his wife di
Resident Evil Is a Fleet, Entertaining Reboot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If Zach Cregger’s career tells us anything, it’s that starting out as a comedian might be the best training for becoming a horror filmmaker. Cregger’s 2022 surprise hit (and directorial debut) Barbarian paved the way for an even bigger success, 2025’s Weapons, a well-written, intelligently directed picture featuring sterling performances from Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, and most of all Amy Madigan, who won an Academy Award for her role as Aunt Gladys, an unctuously polite polyester-pantsuit-weari
In 'The History of Concrete,' John Wilson Is an Affable Tour Guide Into Unknown Worlds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you know anything about filmmaker John Wilson, you’ll intuit that his new documentary The History of Concrete is barely about concrete at all. Earlier this decade, Wilson’s HBO show, How To With John Wilson, provided a sometimes compelling, sometimes aggravating glimpse into the lives of ordinary New Yorkers, as well as into Wilson’s own woolly, discursive mode of thinking. In one episode, Wilson walked around a New York neighborhood until he saw an Italian flag, figuring that the person who’
