- Licorice Pizza. Film. Comedy. Paul Thomas Anderson delivered his sunniest film with this ‘70s nostalgia trip to the San Fernando Valley about a cocksure teenager trying to win the heart of a drifting twentysomething.
- Top Gun: Maverick. Film. Action and adventure. Okay, hands up who saw this practically flawless blockbuster coming? A few people probably did – this long-in-the-making Top Gun sequel was originally due out two years ago – but that enforced delay detracts not one iota from the purest widescreen thrill ride of the year so far.
- The Northman. Film. Action and adventure. ‘A widescreen rallying cry for cinema in the age of streaming’. So read Time Out’s admittedly fairly breathless appraisal of Robert Eggers’ brilliant, blood-soaked Viking epic when it landed in (smashed into?
- Aftersun. Film. Drama. Scottish filmmaker Charlotte Wells announced herself as a major talent with this sun-washed and achingly poignant drama about a divorced dad (Paul Mescal) and his young daughter (the effortlessly cool Francesca Corio) navigating the highs and lows of an eventful Turkish seaside holiday.

In 2017 photographer Nan Goldin, having just finished a stint in rehab for OxyContin addiction, founded a group called Prescription Addiction Intervention Now (PAIN), to force the Sackler Family—art-world philanthropists and owners of Purdue Pharma—to reckon with their role in the opioid crisis. Directed by Laura Poitras, this documentary is both a...
Jeremy Popegives a superb performance as a young gay man, homeless and running out of options, who enlists in the Marines, where he faces cruelty and bigotry but also finds a complex sense of belonging. Writer-director Elegance Bratton has drawn this story from his own experience, and rather than going for the easy answers, he roots out the hard qu...
In 1961, a group of young speleologists trekked to the Calabrian countryside of southern Italy to explore Europe’s deepest cave, stretching 700 meters below the Earth’s surface. Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Frammartino re-creates that exploration, framing the thrill of inquiry into nature’s deepest secretsagainst the tumult of a rapidly changing ...
We know so little about the inner lives of animals; science can tell us only so much. At age 84, Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski has given us a movie about the odyssey of a donkey named EO, who finds both kindness and the lack of it on a trek from Poland to Italy. EO, at times hard to watch, is ultimately bracingly beautiful, a reminder that we n...
Cate Blanchettstars as orchestra conductor extraordinaire Lydia Tár, a figure so vivid that you could almost believe she’s a real person. She’s not: Writer-director Todd Field and Blanchett summoned her, tyrannical and magnificent, from imagination. This is an ambitious—and often drily funny—film about a complicated, often unlikable woman who works...
Even if it weren’t so timely, French director Audrey Diwan’s Happeningwould still be a tense and quietly radical piece of work. Adapted from the 2000 memoir by Nobel Prize-winning author Annie Ernaux, the picture is both forthright and moving in its exploration of what an unwanted pregnancy can mean to a woman—in this case a young student played wi...
Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis is less a straightforward biopic of Elvis Presleythan a sequined jumpsuit in movie form: impractical but flattering, and built to accommodate giant leaps of imagination. Austin Butler, with his regal cheekbones, his eyes as soft as a sigh of longing, conjures both the carnal majesty and the dreamy sadness of Elvis. This movie i...
In this semiautobiographical drama from James Gray, a smart but smart-alecky Queens sixth grader, Banks Repeta’s Paul, befriends one of the few Black kids in his class, Jaylin Webb’s Johnny, even as he remains clueless about the specific realities of his friend’s life. Human beings like to brag about the times they did the right thing, but memories...

- Everything Everywhere All at Once. Delightfully bonkers on the surface, this inventive extravaganza from the directing team called Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) has a deep layer of family feeling and a well-earned emotional pull at the end.
- Top Gun: Maverick. A belated sequel to 1986's Top Gun seemed like a bad idea. But when Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (Tom Cruise) returned to the US Navy's elite fighter-pilot school, the resulting blockbuster wasn't just a thrilling showcase for some spectacular aerobatic displays, but a touching, bittersweet drama about getting older.
- Turning Red. This joyous Pixar coming-of-age cartoon introduces a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian (voiced by Rosalie Chiang) who transforms into a giant fluffy red panda whenever she gets stressed.
