Little Women (2019)

Little Women (2019)

[8] If someone is going to pick up Louisa May Alcott's much-loved literary classic, dust it off, and serve up a retelling, let it be the Oscar-nominated writer/director of Lady Bird. Greta Gerwig is respectably faithful to the material, but…
Knives Out (2019)

Knives Out (2019)

Joker (2019)

[8] On its surface, Joker is an origin story about Batman's arch-nemesis. So at first glance, you might mistake it for 'just another superhero' movie. But writer/director Todd Phillips and actor Joaquin Phoenix have actually made a film that transcends…
