Tom Hanks and Robin Wright star in <em>Here, </em>a film adapted from the millennia-spanning graphic novel by Richard McGuire. It's a technically and narratively difficult story to tell on-screen and the result is crowded and confusing.

Here's why we're disappointed with 'Here': It's more complicated than it is good

Papal politics take an unholy turn in the clever thriller 'Conclave'

The real nightmare in Sean Baker’s 'Anora' isn’t what you expect

In Anora, Mikey Madison plays a sex worker who dances at a strip club and meets — and marries — the son of a Russian oligarch. Filmmaker Sean Baker seems to anticipate and avoid conventions about on-screen violence.

A sex worker marries the son of a Russian oligarch in the comically chaotic 'Anora'

Anora is easily one of Sean Baker’s funniest works — and also one of the saddest. The film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, and the director says it's dedicated to sex workers "past, present and future."

It's an A+ idea to watch a B-list '90s romantic comedy this weekend

Maybe you rented them from Blockbuster on VHS, or maybe you're seeing them for the first time — but there was an age when nearly every movie actor took a swing at romantic comedy. And it was glorious.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney are perfectly cast as two old pros in 'Wolfs'

Whatever you’ve heard about 'Megalopolis,' see this gutsy Coppola film for yourself

Francis Ford Coppola's epic draws parallels between the U.S. and ancient Rome. Forty-some years in the making, it's got wild sex, startling violence, horse-drawn chariots and even nightclub unicorns.
