NEW
NOSFERATU
New in Global Theaters: There’s an overwhelming sense of familiarity to this oft-told story, but there’s much to compensate, including Bill Skarsgård’s bombastic and gruesome vampire
THE BREAKTHROUGH
New on Netflix: Never feels as remarkable as the case that inspired it – but it’s still engrossing, with a good cast
LA PALMA
New on Netflix: Slow build-up but OK for its genre, with good visual effects
RECENT
LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL
Feels like an episode of The Twilight Zone, but not as scary as one would’ve hoped for
JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX
The sequel adds little and its dark musical numbers are unremarkable, albeit visually appealing
THE HYPNOSIS
Uneven, but amusing, with excellent lead performances
OLDER
GOING MY WAY (1944)
The story may be thin and episodic, but the sentimentality has its effective moments, as in the finale
BURROWING (2009)
Relatable, yet oddly difficult to care about
SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON (1960)
Beautiful locations, an engaging cast and plenty of thrills
LONGER REVIEWS
BABYLON (2022)
Damien Chazelle stages some of his sequences in a furiously entertaining way that barely lets you breathe
SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY
It’s impossible not to be in tears as the tragedy grows deeper, but it’s also an inspiring portrait of a family
SAY NOTHING
A convincing, darkly attractive series where the human drama is both moving and infuriating
