There are unique facets to “Magazine Dreams” that make it genuinely disturbing, and sometimes revelatory.

The evolving connection between the spiky Olsen and the confounding Vikander is especially fascinating.

A wryly amusing French neo-noir about obvious, slippery people.

“The Alto Knights” plays less like an ode to a genre than a wheezing retread.

“Being Maria” vibrates with sympathy and loss.

“Locked” starts promisingly, and then almost refuses to really go anywhere.

“Bob Trevino Likes It” is overly convenient but touching, nonetheless.

None of it has the sweetness and imagination of the animated feature.

Watch to the end for a thoughtful mediation on guilt, justice, and redemption. It’s worth it.

A bittersweet love letter to a time that seems quaintly innocent in its civility .
