Two big-budget films are set to battle at the box office: Wicked offers a gravity-defying origin story for the Wicked Witch of the West, while Gladiator II revisits the violence of ancient Rome.
This enveloping drama, which centers two women in Mumbai, is about solidarity between women, about making ends meeting, and about how a populous city can feel like the loneliest place in the world.
Eastwood takes measured aim at the American justice system in a film that centers on a murder trial — and a juror who realizes he may be implicated in the crime.
Here, starring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, was adapted from a millennia-spanning graphic novel. But it's a technically and narratively difficult story on-screen and the result is crowded and confusing.

When the pope dies, backbiting, infighting and ruthless smear campaigning taint the effort to find his successor. Ralph Fiennes stars in a film perfectly timed for this nail-biting election season.

Woman of the Hour was inspired by a real-life serial killer who appeared on The Dating Game in the 1970s. Anna Kendrick directed and stars in the new Netflix film.

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.
Pitt and Clooney play competing Hollywood "fixers" in this Apple TV+ film. The movie feels lazy and low-key, but these charismatic actors deftly deliver mocking silences and barbed asides.
Two new films seem to be in dialogue: In The Substance, Demi Moore is a Hollywood star chasing eternal youth. The dark comedy A Different Man centers on a New Yorker with a rare genetic condition.
