The movies that are playing in Pittsburgh –– and, more importantly, whether or not they’re worth your time.
Movie Review: Poor Things
This riff on “Frankenstein” from director Yorgos Lanthimos isn’t merely a fresh and exciting take on an old story — it’s the best film of the year.
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.
Movie Review: May December
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.
Movie Review: The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
This prequel works well enough — until it sticks around for far too long.
Movie Review: Next Goal Wins
The soccer comedy isn’t funny enough to separate it from a hundred similar underdog stories.
Movie Review: The Marvels
The latest chapter in the never-ending Marvel Cinematic Universe story succeeds with the help of three immensely talented stars.
Movie Review: Priscilla
Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla Presley biopic is too quiet to hold the audience’s interest and too cautious to truly interrogate its subject.
Movie Review: The Holdovers
The opening-night feature at the Three Rivers Film Festival, Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers,” is a remarkable drama with great performances — as well as a very unusual sort of Christmas movie.
Movie Review: Rustin
The Pittsburgh-made biopic is the kind of historical lesson that should be taught in schools — and it features an Oscar-caliber performance from Colman Domingo.
Movie Review: Pain Hustlers
This Netflix drama, with Emily Blunt and Chris Evans, is entertaining — but entertainment may not be quite appropriate when dealing with tragic subject matter.
Movie Review: Five Nights at Freddy's
The massively popular video-game series gets a spooky adaptation that will please fans but bore casual audiences.
Movie Review: When Evil Lurks
This shocking horror film may be too much for many viewers, but genre fans will be morbidly pleased.
Movie Review: Killers of the Flower Moon
Martin Scorsese’s true-crime epic is rich in craft — and excess.

Movie Review: Saw X
The 10th chapter in the ultra-violent franchise changes the formula slightly, with compelling — if grisly — results.
Movie Review: The Creator
A new science-fiction epic from the director of “Rogue One” borrows quite a bit from “Blade Runner” — and that might be its saving grace.

Movie Review: Expend4bles
The fourth installment of the throwback action franchise lacks star power, but delivers enough mindless action to get by.
Movie Review: El Conde
In Netflix’s surprisingly layered dark comedy, the dictator Augusto Pinochet is a 250-year-old vampire. PM Film Critic Sean Collier says it’s unusual, but worth a watch.
Movie Review: A Haunting in Venice
The third of Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot mysteries is a pleasant, fast-moving chiller.
Movie Review: The Nun II
