Critics Pick

‘Godzilla Minus Zero’

An even grander follow-up to 'Godzilla Minus One.' The very human heroes of the first film return, as does Takashi Yamazaki's awesome ability to create monster action paintings in motion.
‘The Cat in the Hat’

Bill Hader voices the Cat in the Hat in a cartoon so elaborately overstuffed it's like a Marvel movie for tots. It's a blockbuster mash-up that leaves the innocent wildness of Dr. Seuss in the dust.
Critics Pick

‘Wild Horse Nine’

John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell are a perfect double act in Martin McDonagh's drolly melancholic '70s caper about two CIA agents, on holiday on Easter Island, who reckon with their present and past.
‘Drummer Boy’

Love, family, and revolution conflict at musket's point in a pleasant if simplistic patriotic musical — a collaboration between Angel Studios and the Christian pop duo For King + Country.

‘Young Sherlock’

Guy Ritchie delivers a perfect origin story for Sherlock Holmes.
‘Marshals’

The 'Yellowstone' spinoff turns the Taylor Sheridan franchise into a workman-like CBS procedural.
‘DTF St. Louis’

The HBO series is a perversely hilarious spin on an erotic thriller.
‘The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins’

The NBC sitcom Tracy Morgan's best star vehicle since '30 Rock.'

‘The Romantic’

Bruno Mars makes a leisure suit of a record, doubling down on Silk Sonic's hermetically sealed '70s revivalism.
‘Icon’

Brent Faiyaz uncorks an instant-vintage serving of sultry R&B.
‘To Whom This May Concern’

Jill Scott pulls from all directions, yet centers the sound on her triumphant album.
‘Don’t Be Dumb’

A$AP Rocky steps back into the arena, all the wiser, on his ambitious album.

‘Amadeus’

Jefferson Mays shines as a funny and frothing Salieri in a gorgeously mounted, essential revival.
‘Bug’

Carrie Coon's gutting performance elevates this horror thriller.
‘Paddington’

A furry, funny, fantastic musical comedy.
‘Paranormal Activity’

Only nominally related to the Blumhouse horror franchise, the haunted-house show ditches hidden cameras for live scares.
