Parallel Mothers movie review: While the Oscar-nominated Penelope Cruz is just very, very good as a woman confronting motherhood, loss and peace, Milena Smit matches her step by step despite her obvious, striking youth.

Radhe Shyam movie review: Prabhas-starrer expects us to swallow, hook, line and so many sinkers, and we are constantly collecting our jaws off the floor.

Kadaisi Vivasayi movie review: Director M Manikandan tackles the questions about God, faith and the idea of transcendence.

Turning Red movie review: It is far from the best Pixar movie, mind you, and also suffers from familiarity with the studio's style. Even so, it is good looking, fun, and tells a meaningful story.

Etharkkum Thunindhavan review: This is Suriya's first theatrical release in three years. At best, it feels like a rush job that whittles down a terrible real-life crime to the lowest common denominator.

The Adam Project movie review: A vast improvement over Ryan Reynolds' post-Deadpool output, Shawn Levy's Netflix film is too inoffensive to complain about.

Against the Ice movie review: For the lovers of survival dramas, there is quite a bit to like here. The cinematography, performances, pacing, and nearly everything else is competent. But that's all the film is: competent.

Naaradan movie review: Tovino Thomas, Sharafudheen and Anna Ben are in form and deliver a solid performance in a film that borrows heavily from our political reality.

Rudra review: There really can’t be a better choice to play that dark but inherently noble character in Disney+ Hotstar series than Ajay Devgn, because he owned that template years before.

The Batman review: The Batman makes a big deal of a lot about its hero. Everything about him moves in slower motion, which by the way could partly explain the bloated 3-hour length of the film.

Hey Sinamika review: Dulquer Salmaan, Kajal Aggarwal, and Aditi Rao Hydari-starrer is about two women fighting for the same man, a theme that has been explored innumerable times in Tamil films and soaps.

Jhund movie review: This Nagraj Manjule film can never quite make up its mind whether it wants to treat Amitabh Bachchan’s Borade as a hero, or focus the spotlight on the hardscrabble lives of the slum kids.

Gunda Jayan plays a typical patriarch who doesn't bother about his niece's choices and forces marriage upon her. The wedding and the drama around it forms the crux of the film.

Licorice Pizza movie review: Paul Thomas Anderson’s most relaxed and happy film, Licorice Pizza has hardly any clouds on its horizon.

Bheemla Nayak movie review: The Telugu remake of Ayyappanum Koshiyum is all about one man and one man only -- Bheemla Nayak aka Pawan Kalyan.

Gangubai Kathiawadi movie review: Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s latest is the kind of old-fashioned dialogue-heavy, sentiment-on-sleeve film which Bollywood is forgetting how to make.

Love Hostel movie review: As compared to Shanker Raman’s ‘Gurgaon’, ‘Love Hostel’ has more immediacy in its execution, which makes its nonstop violence more impactful.

Lamb movie review: Noomi Rapace delivers a magnificently warm performance in A24's frigid arthouse horror, out on MUBI.

Valimai movie review: Vinoth's idea of creating an urban legend goes awry when the film fails to distinguish Ajith Kumar's offscreen persona from Ajith Kumar's character in Valimai.

Petite Maman movie review: Directed by Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Céline Sciamma, this 72-minute film explores themes like grief, loneliness, death, and acceptance through the perspective of two little girls.

Uncharted review: Director Ruben Fleischer stuffs the film with way too many strands than he can handle, way too much digging around a dungeon, and way less mystery than the premise promises.

A Thursday movie review: The chief problem with Yami Gautam film is that we do not take any of this seriously, whether it is Naina brandishing a gun, or snarling and cooing at her hostages.

I Want You Back movie review: Because of the humanity and warmth that Charlie Day and Jenny Slate bring to their characters, and clever, flowing dialogue, the movie has a real companionable charm and offers several worthwhile moments.
