Drive My Car (2021)
To a person, the acting in "Drive My Car" is exceptional. Hamaguchi lets his film's rhythm play out carefully and quite beautifully.

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Somewhere along the production line, it was decided to go big or go home, or not go home considering the title. Everything has to be louder, crazier, and over-the-top.

Licorice Pizza (2021)

Last Night in Soho (2021)
"Last Night In Soho" is something special. Director Edgar Wright and his co-screenwriter Krysty Wilson-Cairns have made a horror movie that is spectacularly original.

Dune (2021)
It looks terrific, but it feels a bit empty, as if Herbert's bold and invigorating ideas are still, like the movie's sandworms, lurking in the shadows.

Dear Evan Hansen (2021)
At 137-minutes, it's too long and feels dated and tired. The acting by the cast seems hermetically sealed on a musty stage.

The Card Counter (2021)
As [Tell] slowly alters the overview of his own philosophical and moral code, you see him chaffing at the possibility of constraints even the slightest agreements would create.

Nine Days (2021)
Edson Oda's feature directorial debut is not only memorable, but it also heralds a promising filmmaker. Oda has written and directed something strikingly unusual.

CODA (2021)
Director Heder avoids sugarcoating the trials and tribulations of life, and she has a cast, especially the four principals, that delivers the goods in every frame.

Vivo (2021)
Lin-Manuel Miranda's on-board the "Vivo" express, traveling from Havana to Miami in a family feature that should please parents and children alike.

The boiling point for simmering jealousy, male-female possessiveness, and the hint of violence are at the core of the story.

Old (2021)
An unexplained force prevents folks from fleeing the sandy cove, sort of like Luis Bunuel's "The Exterminating Angel," albeit less existential.

Pig (2021)
A world-class meal that's served doesn't seem out of place with the off-beat obsessions available on writer-director Michael Sarnoski's menu.

I thought [Bourdain] was a great storyteller - the lively, witty, wonderfully descriptive, and occasionally acerbic monologues he wrote and spoke are gloriously good.

There's a cartoonish quality to "The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, although the cartoon is dreary.
