  • ‘The Phoenician Scheme’

    Wes Anderson's latest intricately constructed oddity taps into a softer side of Benicio del Toro, who plays a wealthy business titan trying to make amends with his estranged daughter.

  • ‘Ballerina’

    Ana de Armas fights 'like a girl' (that is, like Jane Wick) in an unabashedly pulpy, ultraviolent, and entertaining spin-off of the 'John Wick' franchise. The revenge plot is trash, and that's OK.

    ‘Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning’

Jodie Foster & Robert Downey Jr. — Actors on Actors (Full Conversation)

Perfection is rarely achieved in movies, but this heaven-sent concert doc hits the sweet spot. Over two days in January 1972, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin — she was 29 at the time — sweeps into the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Watts in front of a congregation and testifies to God in song. The blessed thing took nearly half a century to come out because director Sydney Pollack failed to sync the image with the sound. Then digital angels stepped in, and glory, glory, hallelujah!
