The movies that are playing in Pittsburgh –– and, more importantly, whether or not they’re worth your time.
Movie Review: IF
It’s more for your inner child than actual children, but “IF” is too charming to dismiss.
Movie Review: Back to Black
A retread of a widely watched documentary, “Back to Black” is a cash grab and little more.
Movie Review: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
There are some decent monkeyshines scattered throughout this epic, but the series is still too dull and too self-important.
Movie Review: Unfrosted
Jerry Seinfeld’s Pop-Tart parody is a delightful throwback to the big, bold comedies of the past.
Movie Review: The People's Joker
Legally, it’s a parody — but this coming-out story is also one of the best big-screen superhero flicks in recent memory.
Movie Review: Boy Kills World
It’s decidedly over-the-top, but this raucous action comedy is endlessly entertaining.
Movie Review: Challengers
Zendaya stars in a movie for grown-up audiences who want a tense and tawdry night at the cinema.
Movie Review: Civil War
Alex Garland’s alternate-reality war picture is chilling, even if it doesn’t land the arguments its filmmaker wants to make.
Movie Review: Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire
Despite some marquee fights, the latest chapter of the so-called Monsterverse is a missed opportunity.
Movie Review: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Even in an era of nostalgia-bait, this late sequel is callous in trying to profit off of its progenitor’s reputation.
Movie Review: Road House
Whatever little magic existed in the original film is absent from this ill-advised remake.
Movie Review: Arthur the King
A good dog saves the day, and the film, in this so-so adventure flick.
Movie Review: Irish Wish
Lindsay Lohan stars in a Netflix romcom that aims to follow the Hallmark model.
Movie Review: Imaginary
This Blumhouse horror film is uneven, but it separates itself from the pack with a bizarre conclusion.
Movie Review: Dune: Part Two
The epic story continues with a deep dive into politics and battle — and a plethora of striking images.
Movie Review: Spaceman
Adam Sandler’s somber journey through the stars doesn’t approach its lofty ambitions.
Movie Review: Drive-Away Dolls
This madcap road trip, filmed mostly in Western Pennsylvania, is an instant comedy classic.
Movie Review: Madame Web
Aside from its lead performance, Sony's latest spider spinoff is uniformly terrible.
Movie Review: Bob Marley: One Love
The music saves an otherwise by-the-numbers biopic.
Movie Review: Lisa Frankenstein
A throwback full of ’80s fashions — and that era's comedic sensibilities — this monstrous love story is unexpectedly charming.
Movie Review: I.S.S.
War erupts between a half-dozen astronauts in a thriller that is much more fun than it is good.
Movie Review: The Beekeeper
No one’s going to call this one good, but it certainly delivers the mayhem it promises.
Movie Review: Mean Girls
The musical adaptation of the beloved comedy is a good time, even if it can’t quite decide what it wants to be.
Movie Review: Night Swim
Turns out making a pool scary isn't nearly enough to drive a horror movie.

Movie Review: The Iron Claw
A family tragedy is brought to vivid life in this compelling drama from A24.
Movie Review: Wonka
The latest take on the classic candy man isn't bad — but it's too muddled to be all that good.
Movie Review: The Boy and the Heron
If "The Boy and the Heron" is indeed the final film from master animator Hayao Miyazaki, it's a fitting farewell.
Movie Review: Candy Cane Lane
Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross star in an imaginative but ultimately unremarkable holiday caper.

With powerhouse performances by Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore, Todd Haynes’ drama is a worthy Oscar hopeful.
Movie Review: Napoleon
Ridley Scott’s biopic tears down the emperor’s great-man status with a smart script and keen performances.
Movie Review: Wish
Intended as a celebration of Disney on the occasion of the studio’s 100th anniversary, “Wish” is overloaded with references and in-jokes.
