Writer-/director Tim Sutton's “Donnybrook” opens with a strange trio on a strange trip. A young man (Jamie Bell) and a young woman (Margaret Qualley) make their way down a misty river on a boat piloted by an older man. Where they're going, they need an entrance fee. How did the young man get it?

As an evocative glance back at Hollywood in the mid-1940s, “The Maestro” succeeds on several levels, not the least of which is a superb turn by one of acting’s best utility players, Xander Berkeley (TV’s “24,” “The Walking Dead”). He plays Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, a true-life, largely unsung

'Yucatán' Shot on a real cruise ship, during an actual three-week transatlantic voyage, the Spanish caper comedy “Yucatán” is — like most vacations — equal parts delightful and exhausting. The accomplished team of writer-director Daniel Monzón and his co-writer Jorge Guerricaechevarría make good

A letter from Academy President John Bailey claims 'misinformation' is at root of the backlash. But how did we really get here?

While the first “Happy Death Day” was a delightful surprise – full of heart and ingenuity, if lacking in gore – its sequel feels like nearly as much of a revelation. That shock isn’t because of its horror movie elements like jump scares and multiple murders; it’s because unlike its predecessor

If 2018 was the year that resurrected the romantic comedy, it was only a matter of time before the beloved genre was parodied by those who know it best. “Set It Up” writer Katie Silberman has teamed up with “How to Be Single” writer Dana Fox and co-writer Erin Cardillo for “Isn’t It Romantic,”

The live online stream of the Oscars is a new evolution for the broadcast.

'The Divorce Party' A young man rediscovers himself after splitting up with his wife in “The Divorce Party,” a sweet, diverting and well-performed rom-com that makes its cogent observations about life and love with simple finesse. Although it hardly reinvents the genre, the film, nicely directed

French star Judith Godrèche co-writes and stars in the romantic dramedy “Under the Eiffel Tower,” about Stuart (Matt Walsh), an American nursing a mid-life crisis during a happily accidental detour in the French countryside. Archie Borders, Godrèche’s co-writer along with David Henry, directs this

Word to the wise: If your 8-year-old suddenly asks for paprika to season his or her food, you’d better watch out. They may not simply be exhibiting signs of a refining palate, they could be “manifesting signs of a former life” — and not in a good way. That’s just one of the things that kicks off
