Hawke’s loving tribute to Blaze Foley is a messy requiem for a ramblin man, highlighted by Benjamin Dickey’s incredible turn as Blaze Foley.
Elba’s limp and lifeless debut is a rote Jamaican crime saga that could benefit from some subtitles.
Charlize Theron is great in a Diablo Cody/Jason Reitman joint that’s funnier than “Juno” and almost as ruthlessly honest as “Young Adult.”
A zillion comedy stars come together for a somewhat funny and largely conventional biopic about a very funny and wholly unconventional man.
Claire Danes and Jim Parsons star in a sensitive and nuanced portrait of raising a non-binary kid in a black-and-white world.
Miranda July and breakout star Helena Howard anchor one of the freshest and most exciting films of the 21st century.
Reed Morano’s second feature is an admirably bold but aggravatingly banal story about the loneliness of living with other people.
Sasha Lane and Chloë Grace Moretz star in a seriocomic “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” set at a gay conversion camp for Christian teens.
More than just “Big Eyes” in The Belle Epoque, this is a fun, frothy, feminist biopic about the relationship between sex and freedom.
A landmark cine-memoir that’s as powerful and profoundly upsetting as any film since “The Act of Killing.”
Paul Dano steps behind the camera for a tender, gorgeous, and exquisitely understated drama about a family that loses its faith in itself.
