Movie & Television Reviews

An Arthurian legend comes to the big screen in writer-director David Lowery’s “The Green Knight” (A24). Lovely to look at but difficult to plumb, the film successfully immerses viewers in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.

Matt Damon plays a man in search of redemption and renewal in the bleak yet touching drama “Stillwater”.

Nondenominational religious flourishes and an emphasis on the value of family offset occasionally intense showdowns and some unsavory vocabulary in “F9: The Fast Saga” (Universal).

While it does nothing to solve the perennial problem for real-life parents that obedient children rarely have adventures, director Enrico Casarosa’s animated fantasy “Luca” (Disney+) is otherwise a winsome tale full of charm and Italian flair.

Do-it-yourself demon fighters Ed and Lorraine Warren are at it again in “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.”

Visually stunning, the new feature — directed by Elaine Bogan with co-director Ennio Torresan Jr. — is also family-friendly. It can, accordingly, be recommended for all but small fry, who might find its action scenes too frightening.
