- 'Weekend' (2011) Heady but grounded in pragmatic reality, ecstatically romantic but marbled with sobering veins of melancholy, Andrew Haigh’s immersive account of a steamy hookup between two gay Nottingham men unfolds over 48 hours in what feels almost like real time.
- 'Black Panther' (2018) Navigating the Marvel Cinematic Universe — or is it a Multiverse now? — requires, for many of us, a certain tolerance for green or LED screens, mass destruction, snarky dialogue and cosmic shtick.
- 'Time' (2020) Garrett Bradley’s documentary observes the brutality of the American carceral system from an uncommon vantage point. The filmmaker jettisons the expository soundbites of talking heads and the contextual support of charts and numbers, choosing instead to construct an impressionistic portrait of one family’s specific experience.

There was certainly nothing terribly original on the surface about another DC comic book movie. From Superman to Batman to Justice League to Aquaman we have seen numerous iterations of the properties. We’ve seen the arch villain Joker played over the years by actors from Cesar Romero to Jack Nicholson, Jared Leto to Heath Ledger’s Oscar-winning tur...
In the past decade the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been making big strides to go global and embrace diversity, increasing international membership to much larger numbers than ever before in the organization’s long history. But it took a South Korean film phenomenon to perhaps seal the idea that Oscar is a man of the world now. B...
Quentin Tarantino further cemented his unique hold on the universe of motion pictures in the new millennium with one success after another includingKill Bill I and II, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight, each dipping into specific genres (martial arts, war, Westerns) and turning them on their head. But perhaps no other fil...
The coming generation of Marvel Studios superhero films lean heavily into diversity. The proving ground for that bold move came onBlack Panther, the first freestanding movie on a Black superhero since Wesley Snipes’ Blade, who at one time was attached to play T’Challa, king of the fictional African country Wakanda. By the time Marvel was finally re...
Roma may not have been Netflix’s first attempt at treating one of its originals as an Oscar qualifier, but it certainly did become the standard bearer for the debate about whether a film designed for streaming could ever be considered cinema. A year after French exhibitors protested Netflix’s place on the Croisette, the film was denied a berth at C...
How many films, let alone a micro-budget Blumhouse horror entry, premiere to an ecstatic Sundance Film Festival Midnight Movie crowd in January and hold that momentum right through to the following year’s Oscar season? A rare genre breakout, Jordan Peele’s directing debut did that and proved prescient about the simmering social unrest of 2020, with...
Since movements such as #MeToo and #OscarsSoWhite emerged, the Academy faced overdue criticism for the lack of diversity in the makeup of its voting body. While this necessary course correction continues to pay dividends—seeParasite—it does also overlook an extraordinary run for non-American filmmakers in the Best Director races of the 2010s, when ...
A quizzical, arched eyebrow was all it took to precipitate the biggest Oscar upset in living memory: failing to pick up on co-host Warren Beatty’s economic body language after the legend was handed the wrong envelope by a star-struck Pricewaterhouse accountant distracted by tweeting backstage photos and not paying attention to his job of handing ou...
James Bond may remain the most durable film franchise ever invented, but for sheer kinetic excitement and full-throttle cinematic action, nothing beats what George Miller has delivered in four films over the course of 41 years with hisMad Max series. No other franchise has consisted of so few films spread across such a long period of time, but the ...
Since his directorial debut on Amores Perros, has another director had a better quarter century than Alejandro González Iñárritu? He followed that film, which felt like a close cousin to Scorsese’s Mean Streets, with 21 Grams, Babel, Biutiful, the Best Picture Oscar winnerBirdman and then The Revenant and the acclaimed virtual reality shortCarne Y ...
