'Farewell Amor' begins at New York’s JFK airport. Walter is waiting for the arrival of his wife, Esther and teenaged daughter Sylvia. They’ve been apart for 17 years, since Sylvia was a baby. Other than phone calls, she doesn’t know her father. They all realize that they’ve become strangers.

Historically, holiday movies have been about white heterosexual women finding love in time for Christmas in the arms of white heterosexual men. Hopefully, 'Happiest Season' will pave the way for more (and better) LGBTQ+ stories possible in the future.

'The Queen’s Gambit' is one of the best things we’ve seen in a long time. It’s smart, gorgeous, moving, and — against all odds — thrilling.

Whether it was a deliberate choice or a happy coincidence, I think the new 'Rebecca’s' raison d’etre is actually Kristin Scott Thomas as Mrs. Danvers.

Writer, director, producer, and star Radha Blank’s semi-autobiography of an artist’s early midlife crisis is smart and funny and simply great entertainment.

'I Am Woman' is a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. But it lacks the drama and depth of other rockstar biopics.

'Cuties' is complicated and at times disturbing, but not for the reasons cited by its critics. It’s an effective argument against exploitation, not exploitive in itself.
