Take The Wizard of Oz, add a touch of Up, a splash of Frozen and toss well with the cultural specificity of a Coco and you’ll get a reasonable facsimile of Over the Moon, a CG-animated musical fantasy that still manages to infuse sufficient charm and genuine warmth into the inescapable familiarity.

The last time Oscar winners Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken appeared together onscreen, they were playing a tragic game of Russian roulette in the classic 1978 film The Deer Hunter. Reunited for the first time in 42 years in the family comedy The War with Grandpa, they play dodgeball…on trampolines.

For a movie about a lepidopterist, The Dark Divide is awfully entertaining. (There will now be a brief pause while you look up the word "lepidopterist.") Now that you know the term refers to people who study butterflies and moths, we can continue this review of this film based on nature writer Robert Pyle's book Where Bigfoot Walks: Crossing the Dark Divide.

An arresting feature debut about a man returning home to a community that has been transformed, Merawi Gerima's Residue is honest enough about its protagonist's emotions and motivations that it's likely to cause discomfort in viewers wherever they fall on the socioeconomic spectrum.

Until his death in 1989 at the age of 74, not even his wife or adoptive children knew that jazz pianist Billy Tipton had been anything other than a cisgender man. According to No Ordinary Man — a new documentary about Tipton’s legacy as a transmasculine icon — the musician became fodder for daytime talk shows and supermarket tabloids shortly after his death, with Oprah Winfrey and her also-rans prying into the marriage between Tipton and his common-law widow Kitty Kelly.

Imagine the Pizzagate guy was the main character in a movie. Then imagine that guy was played by Aaron Eckhart, with Tommy Lee Jones playing his conspiracy theorizing, podcasting accomplice.

Two sisters from a Northern Irish town close to the border with Eire, played by Nika McGuigan and Nora-Jane Noone, feel the long shadow of both the Troubles and their own troubled past when they're reunited after a long estrangement in British-Irish co-production Wildfire.

There's a heady, hypnotic interlude midway through Steve McQueen's dreamy celebration of Black community and culture, Lovers Rock, when Janet Kay's 1979 hit "Silly Games" plays out on the turntable and is taken up by the people crammed into the suburban London living room where a house party is being held. For a full five minutes they continue singing a cappella — the women in particular — their voices matched by the ecstasy of their swaying bodies.

Todd McCarthy Watching Lovers Rock is akin to going to see Romeo and Juliet and only staying through the first act, to departing a basketball game after the first quarter, to sipping the soup and skipping the rest of the meal. A mere wisp of a thing, Steve McQueen’s 68-minute feature, the only fictional section of a five-film anthology called Small Axe about London’s West Indian community between the late 1960s and 1980, steeps you in the atmosphere and music of the latter date.

Thomas Vinterberg’s “Another Round” begins with the frenzied depiction of Danish youth completing a beer “case race,” though the debauched fun is fleeting for us – and them. The sequence collides with the film’s opening title cards, which quickly cede to a more sobering reality: a dry faculty meeting.

Veteran Hong Kong filmmaker Ann Hui, one of Venice’s two Career Golden Lion recipients this year alongside Tilda Swinton, brings prewar Hong Kong to exquisite if restrained life in her latest historical drama, Love After Love (Di Yu Lu Xiang).

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticThe Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg came up in the Dogme 95 movement, and he’s sort of like Lars von Trier if von Trier, beneath the radical flourishes, had become a conventional-minded director of mildly outré TV movies. (Netflix should snap him up.) In a Vinterberg film, there’s the hook, which is often provocative, and then there’s the execution, which tends to be overly telegraphed and a touch plodding and not fully psychologically convincing.

Eight years after making the Oscar-nominated The Hunt together, Mads Mikkelsen and writer-director Thomas Vinterberg have reunited for Another Round, a tragicomic portrait of midlife crisis and alcohol abuse. Since their previous collaboration, both director and star have mostly worked on bigger international features, but they are back on comfortable home ground here with a modestly scaled Danish-language production full of familiar faces.

Mads Mikkelsen's chiseled features, raspy voice and cool steely gaze have made the Danish actor a go-to bad guy for any casting agent looking for a supervillain — James Bond's nemesis Le Chiffre in Casino Royale, Doctor Strange's warlock adversary Kaecilius — or serial killer (TV's Hannibal) with a touch of class.
