    ‘Babygirl’

    Nicole Kidman is fearless in Halina Reijn's erotic office drama about the age of control. It recalls both 'Unfaithful' and '9½ Weeks,' with a corporate kinkiness that's up-to-the-minute and humane.

  • ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’

    Wired-up synthetic fun: a trivial kiddie flick that moves at the speed of your mind playing video games. Jim Carrey is epic, as the movie becomes a flimflam parody of superhero films.

  • ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’

    Barry Jenkins' thoughtful and mostly satisfying prequel pushes virtual performances in an impactful origin story, revealing hidden depths to familiar characters.

  • ‘Nickel Boys’

    Director RaMell Ross breaks free of reform-school tropes, adapting Colson Whitehead's novel as a series of first-person impressions. For an hour the experiment is exciting, but Ross loses the plot.
