‘Moana 2’

The songs lack that Lin-Manuel Miranda magic, but this more dutiful than inspired sequel has vibrant monsters and a flow of movement that keeps your eyeballs dancing.
Critics Pick
‘Wicked’

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande give iconic performances in the fabulous big-screen version of Broadway's what-makes-a-villain spin on 'The Wizard of Oz,' which feels more relevant than ever.

Jodie Foster & Robert Downey Jr. — Actors on Actors (Full Conversation)

Perfection is rarely achieved in movies, but this heaven-sent concert doc hits the sweet spot.
