Defying easy genre categorization, The Book of Henry is about a budding kid genius who's smarter than his mom. Or is it a medical mystery? A TV movie of the week melodrama? Or a Rear Window-styled thriller with an adolescent protagonist in the...

Feels familiar at times in prompting a heroine to confront her parents' failings, but The Glass Castle also acknowledges an uncomfortable, unshakeable truth: even the most troubled parents "have their moments," and reconciliation brings closure...

The monster movie tropes might feel familiar at times, but Life flirts with audience "alien"-ation in ways that are surprising, even shocking, making for a more memorable film experience than we expect during the early part of its story. 3.5 out...

If The Lego Movie and Paddington showed the right way to adapt family movies from pre-existing properties, Rachet & Clank, pointlessly plotted with no one to root for in a low-stakes story, demonstrates how wrong it can go. Bring a watch—you'll be...

Director Oliver Stone's hagiographic movie about the man who exposed the extent of the U.S. government's surveillance program leaves no room for doubt.

Treads familiar ground for fans of the genre, but Westerns are so few and far between in recent years that The Ballad of Lefty Brown may feel new to younger adults. Those who remember classic Westerns will enjoy another trip to the frontier. 3.5...

This third franchise entry doesn't veer far from the formula that established Pitch Perfect as a female-driven phenomenon. But while it can still wring humor out of a familiar premise, it's all beginning to feel a little out of (auto)tune. 2.5 out...

Three of our finest actresses join Chris Hemsworth for a tale of what occurred before Snow White and the Huntsman, as well as the events that followed it. But this strange prequel-sequel hybrid has a restless, hodgepodge quality that doesn't...

When was the last time you sat back and let a movie gently take you where it wanted, without feeling worried that something objectionable was just around the corner? It was probably a Disney movie from a long time ago. Pete's Dragon is, if not...

Adventurous and ambitious if not altogether as rousing as the best summer blockbusters, The Legend of Tarzan revives a franchise for which no one seemed to be clamoring. But unlike John Carter or The Lone Ranger, this update is more often fun than...
