Five Movies You Need to See in Cinemas This Month
See you at the candy bar.
Whether you're on a date, catching up with your friends, or just looking for a way to kill a few hours on a Tuesday night, there are few modern indulgences that beat settling into a dark cinema and letting your worries escape you as you slip into another world. Spies, superheroes, lovers, musicians, presidents, dictators, robbers and cops: you'll encounter them all as the lights go down and the projector begins to whir.
There's plenty afoot a the pictures this month, so we're here to give you a little bit of help with choosing tonight's movie. See you at the candy bar.
ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL
What our critic said: It doesn't have the most original story, but this sci-fi action flick still delivers thanks to its compelling heroine and kickass fight scenes.
GRETA
What our critic said: While Greta never lives up to its star's efforts, or to its twisty, trashy potential, it's just unhinged enough to mostly entertain — as long as you're willing to go along with it.
VOX LUX
What our critic said: With a riveting performance by Natalie Portman and toe-tapping bangers by Sia, this pop star epic dances to its own brilliant melody.
IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK
What our critic said: What a joy it is to rove one's eyes over Barry Jenkins' films ... the Moonlight director returns with another heart-swelling, swoon-inducing drama.
AT ETERNITY'S GATE
What our critic said: Led by an exceptional Willem Dafoe, this immersive van Gogh biopic is as striking as the Dutch artist's famous paintings.
