★★★★½
Christopher Sanders' adaptation of Peter Brown's novel pairs lush animation with Lupita Nyong'o's voice work in a survival story that earns every tear.
Essential family viewing — a modern animated masterpiece.

Josh Margolin's scam-fueled action-comedy gives June Squibb a rare starring turn — and she plays every stunt for real emotional stakes.

Park and Crossingham needle smart-home gadgetry and AI anxieties without losing stop-motion's cozy handmade charm—Wallace and Gromit still deliver.

A luminous, meditative ode to the beauty of the ordinary — one of Wenders's finest films and a masterclass in performance from Kōji Yakusho. Quietly perfect.
