Mixed: out of Negative: out of The Power of the Dog. No movie this year cuts a clearer, truer path of the heart. A Marvel epic that values personal connections over spectacle? The slow-paced result is uneven, but memorably inclusive and unique. The French Dispatch. The endlessly inventive Wes Anderson and a cast of all-stars use all the tools of cinema to give a big, fat, loving smooch to, of all things, print journalism and the gifted eccentrics who practice it.

Too fussy? But what an exuberant gift of a memory piece. Halloween Kills. It gets the job done for trick-or-treat season, but this sequel falls short of expectations by sidelining its luminous star Jamie Lee Curtis and substituting rote mayhem for an inventively scary frightfest. Harrowing to watch, but impossible to shake, this emotional powerhouse catches two sets of parents, brilliantly played by Martha Plimpton, Jason Isaacs, Reed Birney and an Oscar-worthy Ann Dowd, in the traumatic aftermath of a school shooting.

The Tragedy of Macbeth. There is no way you can take your eyes off them. The Many Saints of Newark. The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Firing up the Oscar race for Best Actress, a virtuoso Jessica Chastain raises up this formula biopic about televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker by redeeming her reputation as a cultural joke in clown makeup and finding the soul beneath the sparkle.

Dear Evan Hansen. You bet, but the film of the Broadway musical about teen suicide is not the crime against humanity some claim. Yes, Ben Platt, 27 is playing a high school kid, but he inhabits the role he created on stage with every fiber of his being and hits you like a shot in the heart. This meandering neo-western is far from classic Eastwood.

But Eastwood, at 91, is still classic in every sense of the word. The Card Counter. A new Paul Schrader movie is always an event and this spellbinding meditation on sin and salvation—seen through the eyes of a gambler a superb Oscar Isaac who counts cards to both escape and confront his torturous past—is one of his best. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

So what if the showoff climax deserts depth for dazzle. As the first Asian hero in Marvel history, former stuntman Simu Liu is action poetry in motion and his epic starring debut kicks off the fall film season on a rousing high note. Welcome to a new horror classic. No respect for them. People who suck. Big time! See all related lists ».
