Wright's grossly unnecessary prequel to the Peter Pan story finds a bizarre amount of glee answering questions nobody ever asked about J.M. Barrie's classic tale: What is the scientific name for pixie dust? How did Smee get to Never Land? How does Captain Hook's pirate regime function, infrastructurally? That this is all married to a Harry Potter-e...
This adaptation of A. J. Finn's bestselling book was originally due to be released in October 2019. One Fox-Disney merger and a pandemic later, The Woman in the Window arrives on Netflix with an impressive pedigree: directed by Wright, with a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts, cinematography by Bruno Delbonnel, a score by ...
Released in the afterglow of Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man comeback, The Soloist sees the actor giving one of his most underrated performances as real-life L.A. Times columnist Steve Lopez. The surrounding film, however, is decidedly less successful. The inspirational, based-on-a-true-story tale of Lopez's relationship with a homeless, schizophrenic...
Wright's 2017 drama about the period between Winston Churchill becoming British prime minister in 1940 and the evacuation of Dunkirk seemed even at the time of its release to be scientifically engineered to win Gary Oldman a long-overdue Oscar. Indeed, his makeup-caked and fatsuit-padded performance proved too undeniable for the Academy; never mind...
Leo Tolstoy's thousand-page tome Anna Karenina seems hardly primed to be the basis of a swiftly-paced, thrilling two-hour film such as this, yet somehow Wright (and screenwriter Tom Stoppard) managed to pull it off. As a director, Wright can often be pigeonholed as staid and conservative, but this is undoubtedly his most fleet-footed and free-wheel...
Coming off the heels of Atonement and Pride and Prejudice, this shaggy dog of a movie felt like a shocking change of pace for Wright as a director. A patchwork quilt of genres and tropes, an action thriller by way of the Brothers Grimm, Hanna tells the story of a little girl raised in the Finnish wilderness to be an assassin. Sent away by her fathe...
Joe Wright's sumptuous adaptation of Jane Austen's iconic novel is nearly pitch-perfect in its bringing to life of the original romantic comedy. Wright's visual flair and penchant for a roving camera plunge the audience headfirst into ballrooms, whirling through 16th-century palaces and past the flittering anticipatory conversations of the Bennet s...
The centerpiece of Atonement, Joe Wright's 2007 awards darling about how one moment can shatter the lives of all involved, is a stunning one-shot through the beach at Dunkirk. Before Birdman and The Revenant made the single-shot commonplace,this was a standout moment of bravura filmmaking, and it remains an impressive feat to this day. However, tha...

- Atonement (2007) At the top of the list sits Wright's second film in his Keria Knightley trilogy. Atonement, adapted from the novel by Ian McEwan, has every single person working at the absolute top of their games.
- Anna Karenina (2012) The response to Anna Karenina when it was released in November 2012 has never made sense. Wright decided to push all his chips in on this truly audacious adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's novel, where he depicts the high society of 19th century Russia through the prism of an old, dilapidated theater.
- Pride & Prejudice (2005) Wright's first film remains one of his best. Many were resistant to a new adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel Pride & Prejudice, particularly after a beloved BBC miniseries starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, but Wright's lush, vibrant, and deeply romantic take on the tale remains immensely enchanting over a decade later.
- Hanna (2011) After making three dramas, Wright decided to swerve into the spy thriller genre for 2011's Hanna. Reuniting with Academy Award nominee Saoirse Ronan in the title role, he found the true sweet spot of marrying his garish style with material that wouldn't naturally call for it.
