  • ‘Black Phone 2’

    The Grabber may be gone but his ghost is still calling in this hypnotic franchise extension. It establishes an analog texture to keep the scares coming from Ethan Hawke's devil-masked killer.

  • ‘After the Hunt’

    Luca Guadagnino's sexual-accusation drama plays like a muddled 'Tár,' with Julia Roberts as a Yale professor with a Big Secret. It's got craft, yet too much of it leaves us scratching our heads.

  • ‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’

    Rose Byrne is brilliantly unhinged in Mary Bronstein's chaotic maternal-meltdown drama. Byrne plays the mother of a high-maintenance child in an alternately exhilarating and maddening indie.

  • ‘Good Fortune’

    Aziz Ansari's clever directorial debut borrows tropes from studio movies — a meddling angel (Keanu Reeves), 'Freaky Friday' identity swaps — to make a timely critique of the gig economy.
