Aaron Sorkin has penned some truly fantastic screenplays, but their screen translations were typically handled by masterful directors like David Fincher, Rob Reiner, or Danny Boyle. Left to his own devices as writer and director, he's saddled with an overwritten script and a flat visual style that yields a solid but middling piece of awards-season ...

In a year filled to the brim with stage-to-screen transfers, director Florian Zeller finds a remarkably cinematic approach to what could be a fairly stagey adaptation of his own play, p...

Lee Isaac Chung's semi-autobiographical film about growing up as a South Korean immigrant in Arkansas is not only one of the year's most eminently-lovable, tender films, but also one of the most American. Steven Yeun and Youn Yuh-jung have received Oscar nominations for their performances in Minarias the patriarch striving to make his family proud ...
There were a lot of good movies this year, but only one as beautiful, as elemental, as overwhelming as Nomadland, Chloe Zhao's portrait of nomadic outsiders that transcends mere cinema and crosses over into the sublime. Publicized as a brief respite between her previous film The Rider and Marvel’s upcoming The Eternals, Nomadland is anything but to...
