Read the Review:“Not everything works in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story — how could it, when the 1961 classic is nigh unimpeachable? — but his visual translation of some of the original’s latent ideas makes it a complementary piece. At once rougher and more dazzling, it has tremendous high points that seldom overlap with its predecessor, resulting in a remake that feels both hyper-charged and wholly justified. A true thing of beauty.” - Siddhant Adlakha

Read the Review:“Gintama: The Very Final is exemplary of what a series swan song should look like. It gives all of its personalities a chance to shine, serves up satisfying battles, and retains its signature humor all the way to the end. Fans will undoubtedly wish they had a bit more time with Gintoki and the crew, but this is an ending anyone could be satisfied with.” - Brittany Vincent

Read the Review:“Introducing, Selma Blair is a deeply impactful documentary that works on many levels. It functions as a coming out party for the real woman behind the roles that have mostly defined her public persona, and as a “gloves off” informational journey about living with, and trying to combat the symptoms of, multiple sclerosis. The doc accomplishes both with humor, honesty, dignity, and a staggering level of vulnerability from Blair.” - Tara Bennett

Read the Review:“Belfast is a love letter to both a city, and the ghosts of Kenneth Branagh’s past. There’s clearly soul-searching going on as he re-examines events from his childhood, and how they affected those he loved, and the decisions they made. Yet that story is told with a lightness of touch that belies the serious subject matter, making for a sometimes sad, frequently tender, and often joyous affair that celebrates family, film, and the people and places that turned Branagh into the...

Read the Review:“Director Jason Reitman does his father and fans proud with a funny, sweet, and spooky family movie that proudly takes on the legacy of Ghostbusters, while also introducing something exciting and new. It helps that Mckenna Grace is the kind of talent that only comes around once in a generation: charming, authentic, and the beating heart of this already heartfelt movie. Get ready to fall in love with the Ghostbusters all over again.” - Rosie Knight

Read the Review:“The Harder They Fall both subverts and embraces the Western tradition with some spectacular shootouts, slick dialogue, and a top-notch ensemble cast firing on all cylinders. Add a rollicking soundtrack to all of that and you’ve got fun and suave modern Western that smartly places a Black narrative squarely at its center.” - Hanna Ines Flint

Read the Review:“The French Dispatch is both an ode to print journalism and one of Wes Anderson’s most richly detailed films. While based on real journalists and articles, each of its smaller segments is painted in Anderson’s signature whimsical style, culminating in one of the most effective and thoughtful stories of his career.” - Siddhant Adlakha

Read the Review:“A gorgeous black-and-white film that harkens back to several cinematic eras, Joel Coen’s The Tragedy of Macbeth twists an old tale just enough to keep it fresh, but relies on tremendous lead performances by Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand to make the familiar feel exciting.” - Siddhant Adlakha
