In a remote village, Nawojka grapples with dark urges she believes stem from an ancestral curse. Her world shifts when Sandra moves in next door, offering a glimpse of freedom from her family’s rigid control.

Alejandro G. Iñárritu has never been a filmmaker particularly interested in playing things safe. From intimate character dramas to sprawling stories about survival, grief, ambition, and human excess, his films frequently operate on an enormous emotional and visual scale. Digger continues that tradition, but takes Iñárritu into much stranger territory. Part satirical black comedy, part…

To borrow the title of a vintage Supertramp album that predates the events of this movie by five years: “Crisis? What crisis?” In truth, that’s the attitude of a tiny minority gathered in a Florida hotel conference room for 36 hours in 1980 in Tom McCarthy’s engrossing verbatim drama, A Statement.

Despite a huge $130 million budget and probably the most consistently popular movie star in the lead, the poor reviews and bad early buzz have done a number on the movie’s box office prospects. It’s opening even lower than we…

Legendary horror author H.P. Lovecraft once wrote that “the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” Of course, fear is subjective, and some people genuinely freak out at the sight of blood and viscera gushing from helpless victims. But for many,…

“Saturday Night Live” has platformed some of the biggest names in Hollywood, sports, music, and comedy. But one household name that has never hosted the sketch comedy series is ’80s teen idol Molly Ringwald. Ringwald has been a popular actor almost as long as “SNL” has been on air. Ringwald made her acting debut in…
