“Cyrano”
The staging of this film, coupled with the brisk, brainy script, will send literary lovers and theater enthusiasts into fits of delight.
“The Lost Daughter”
A draining, sedate observation of material ambivalence that’s sustained by a trio of knockout lead performances.
“Belfast”
I loved everything about this touching, funny, poignant, and beautiful film, and it is among the very best of the year.
“Licorice Pizza”
A coming-of-age film that feels casually comforting, like a warm blanket of nostalgia.
“Encounter”
I can almost guarantee this will be mismarketed by the studio as an exciting, action-packed sci-fi thriller. It’s not.
