Bruce Willis’ grizzled granddad may help save the day, but the star will be hard pressed to rescue this action drama

An ex-con finds the criminal life won't leave him alone in firsttime director Philip Barantini's solid Brit gangster entry.

As we all know from watching TV and movies (and from reading history books and newspapers), the super-rich are different from you and me. The endless pursuit and maintenance of wealth, status and power isn't your usual 9-to-5, and along the way it's not unusual to accrue one or two skeletons in the closet — or, in the case of the Monroe family in the would-be thrillerInheritance, a prisoner in the dungeon.

Lily Collins "inherits" her tycoon father's terrible secret — a captive Simon Pegg — in this overlong, implausible thriller.

Stop me if you've heard this before. Someone who's always been on the wrong side of the law is determined to go straight and start a new life.

Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae are a quarreling couple out to solve a murder, but the first movie directed by Michael Showalter since "The Big Sick" is a crime comedy that aims lower than it thinks.

As a grieving cop, Mary J. Blige serves and protects a tricky storyline in this socially-engaged supernatural thriller.

"I didn't have any goals; I just went where the winds of curiosity blew me." So says Diana Kennedy, a groundbreaking authority on Mexican cooking, in Elizabeth Carroll's intimate portrait. On the superficial face of it, those words might sound disingenuous, but they go to the heart of Kennedy's unconventionality and lifelong pursuit of authenticity.

An intriguing and well-executed attempt to supply something Americans were denied in 2014, Roee Messinger's American Trial: The Eric Garner Story uses non-actors and real community members to imagine a trial that Staten Island grand jurors inexplicably refused to hold: In this conjured reality, unlike our own, NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo is indicted for reckless manslaughter and first-degree strangulation in the killing of unarmed New Yorker Eric Garner.

Set aside the fact that present circumstances may make viewers resentful of a film motivated by its makers' urge to see exotic tourist destinations and eat in expensive restaurants that are closed now. The format of Michael Winterbottom's Trip series, in which Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon take luxurious foodie vacations together, has served up various pleasures for moviegoers in the past, and there was no way of knowing how tone-deaf it might appear upon its mid-lockdown release.

Dea Gjinovci’s empathetic documentary on an asylum-seeking family's plight is touching despite some mishandled priorities.

Has it really been 10 years? The fourth 'Trip' film — and maybe the last — finds Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon retracing the path of Odysseus as they continue to eat, drink, and be quippy.

Film critic and filmmaker Dan Sallitt's fourth feature tracks the ebb and flow of young female friendship with exquisite specificity and grace.

Proximitywears its old-school sci-fi heart on its sleeve, beginning with the Close Encounters-quoting pow of an opening and flipping through a catalog of movie references. The homage, however endearing, proves limiting too for this tale of alien abduction, wide-eyed innocents and covert government baddies.

Just over 50 years after their debut on Saturday morning TV in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, the four teen sleuths of Mystery Inc. and their talking Great Dane sidekick return for another action-packed crime-busting mission.

A naive housewife takes surprising steps to reclaim her independence after discovering that her husband blew their savings on escorts in this well-acted French-language drama.

Debuting on demand, rather than in theaters, this attractive but calculated attempt to connect 'Scooby-Doo' to other Hanna-Barbera characters abandons the show's fun teen-detective format.

An inventive parable, Cristóbal León & Joaquín Cociña's breathtaking animation continuously redefines reality in startlingly timely ways.
