The Best Films of 2024 So Far | Features - Roger Ebert
Jun 25, 2024 · The signature shades of David Lynch and Henry James are left like paint on the surface of a pool; we must sink below them to discover what he’s searching for beneath the obvious references to LA surrealism, school shooters, and climate change.

Even with these bumps, “Inside Out 2” zips confidently along, fashioning a hypnotic and transportive imaginativeness that is incredible to take in.

Joker: Folie à Deux movie review (2024) - Roger Ebert
Oct 3, 2024 · What set me off was the film’s climax, in which Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck, now gone almost full Joker, appears on a late-night talk show hosted by glib showman Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro). Franklin’s object is a mockery of the man in the clown makeup. But Arthur has the last laugh: he pulls out a gun and blows Franklin’s brains out on live TV.

Jul 21, 2023 · “Barbie,” director and co-writer Greta Gerwig’s summer splash, is a dazzling achievement, both technically and in tone.
