[Editor’s note: This is a repost of our review from the 2021 Sundance Film Festival] When we’re told to believe the accounts of people who suffered severe trauma, do we believe them out of empathy, or out of our desire to feel better about ourselves? If someone claims to be a Holocaust survivor, and then offers us a tale of redemption and overcoming adversity, then do we believe them because they’re a Holocaust survivor, or because they’re offering us a feel-good tonic to the horrors of the Holocaust?...

For years now, audiences have mistaken the real message behind the belovedMonsters, Inc. When most viewers think of Sully (John Goodman), Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), and Boo (Mary Gibbs) they see a straightforwardbuddy co-worker adventureabout found family and the power of a child’s laugh. Most people are missing out on the bigger picture. The adventures of the former top scarer and future top comedian aren’t just fun and games: the real story ofMonsters Inc....

Season 22 ofNCIShas squarely put the spotlight on Agents Parker (Gary Cole) andMcGee (Sean Murray)as they each tackle their own individual storylines that have major outcomes for the series. Even though these two take up the bulk of the runtime and, subsequently, our attention, they are not necessarilyresponsible for the most memorable moments from the season. And in this case, that disction actually belongs toAgents Torres (Wilmer Valderrama)and Knight (Katrina Law)....

If you’ve been paying attention to international cinema at all over the last decade or so, the namePablo Larrainshould make you perk up immediately. Just this year, Larrain put outThe Club, an unsettling, caustic reflection of the Catholic Church’s patently horrendous handling of priests who are proven pedophiles, molesters, and crooks. If you haven’t seen it, seek it out, as it’s easily one of the best films to see release this year, and it’s only the latest in a line of masterworks from Larrain, includingTony Manero,Post-Mortem, andNo....

In addition to droppingthe final trailer, Marvel Studios also released a brand newBlack Widowposter today. The film is the long-awaited solo movie forScarlett Johansson’s titular character, who made her MCU debut all the way back in 2010’sIron Man 2. Over the course of the next several movies—especially theCaptain Americasequels andAvengersfilms—Johansson fleshed out this “sexy spy” character into a compelling, tortured individual with “red in her ledger.” Now, at last, we’ll see how that red got there in the first place....

There are many waysOur Flag Means Deathsurprised us. While we came into the HBO Max series expecting to laugh about silly pirates withTaika WaititiandRhys Darby, we’ve actually found a touching love story that dares to question gender roles in society. Besides that, whileOur Flag Means Deathpromised to be a casual distraction, the series developed a complex first season that leaves many unanswered questions behind. Unfortunately,Our Flag Means Deathhas not yet been renewed for a second season, which leaves us ruminating on that wacky and unexpected finale, wondering where we’ll sail next....

While filming onSpider-Man: Homecominghas wrapped, that doesn’t meanTom Holland’s duties in front of the camera are over. Of course there are the inevitable reshoots—every Marvel movie (and blockbuster) does them—but also, as theHomecomingteam digs into the post-production on the film, there’s the intricate visual effects. One aspect of this involves recording the facial movements of Holland so that when Peter Parker and/or Spider-Man is created digitally (like his almost entirely CG cameo inCivil War), the precise expressions of Holland are reflected....

“She really is trying to live thisJohn Hugheslife, and then there’s thisDavid Cronenbergmovie that keeps trying to ruin it.” That’s how writer/directorBrian Duffieldexplains the central premise of the new filmSpontaneous, which starsKatherine Langfordas a high school senior named Mara who finds world thrown into chaos when her fellow students begin inexplicably exploding. It’s a unique hook for a movie for sure (based on the book of the same name byAaron Starmer), but has oddly enough become even more relevant in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic....
