A scene from ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ (Photo: 20th Century Studios, 2026). Twenty years is a strange amount of time for a sequel (unless you’re Top Gun: Maverick, in which case you rewrite the rules). It’s long enough for nostalgia to settle into something like myth, but also long enough for the world that…

Taking place in a specialist sports boarding school in France, Valery Carnoy’s Wild Foxes follows the lives of childhood best friends and aspirant boxers Camille (Sam Kircher) and Matteo (Faycal Anaflous). Camille, the academy’s star boxer, stands slightly apart from the group with a more watchful, inward presence, while Matteo, presents a more rowdy and restless energy.  Get more Little…

Memory flickers like an old television left on too late. Images blur, and voices get lost under the crackle of static. Zeshaan Younus’ I’ve Seen All I Need to See begins here, in a dimly-lit limbo between recall and reminiscence. It feels lost, intimate, almost intrusive, as if we’re watching something not meant for us. From its outset,…

Damian McCarthy’s “Hokum,” a wonderfully well-crafted work of Irish folk horror, is a genre film in an almost classical sense. Much like his petrifying prior features, “Oddity” and “Caveat,” it’s built around a confined, potentially haunted setting, a central mystery that carries deeper personal pain, and a determined yet troubled character trying to piece it…

Sure, last year’s “28 Years Later” was legitimately intense, but this follow-up from Nia DaCosta is even more unhinged in consistently mesmerizing…

“The June 1967 defeat was tantamount to an alarm bell that aroused the dormant Arab consciousness from its long slumber; it awakened the Arabs from their dreaming, shaking their faith in all the nationalistic slogans and bringing into question the ability of the military regimes to fulfill the duties they had taken unto themselves and…

The 13th Annual Chicago Critics Film Festival, an event for which I am the co-producer and several other RogerEbert.com contributors are programmers, launches this week at the Music Box Theatre, where over two dozen Chicago premieres will unfold to the biggest audiences the festival has seen to date. As headlines screech about the divide between…

In its 42nd year, the Chicago Latino Film Festival succeeds in bringing an international array of films that showcase the complexity, diversity, and passion of the diaspora’s stories and the excellence in which they are told through the cinematic medium. Returning to the Landmark Century Cinema this year, the festival is concentrated in a single…

This is what The Criterion Collection does best: They take a venerated (or sometimes less-known) director, assemble their work in a gorgeously conceived box set, and use archival material, interviews, documentaries, and essays to put that person’s celebrated work in a detailed context. It’s mindboggling, therefore, that it took so long for John Singleton to…
