Angelique Jackson The buzz continues for the beekeeper — with Jason Statham returning to star in “The Beekeeper 2.” The Miramax movie is set to start production in the fall, with “Nobody 2” director Timo Tjahjanto taking the reins from David Ayer, who helmed the first kooky conspiracy thriller, which debuted last January and grossed $152 million worldwide. Statham stars as Adam Clay, a retired government assassin (a former “Beekeeper” operative turned actual honeycomb minder) who gets back in the game after a phishing attack targets the kindly old woman (Phylicia Rashad) from whom he rents a barn, stealing millions of dollars from a charity she runs.

Critic’s Notebook: At Berlin, New Talents and Youthful ‘Dreams’ Signal a Fresh Chapter for 75-Year-Old Fest

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic How far back in the Berlin Film Festival’s 75-year history do you have to go to find an edition as strong as this one? About a quarter-century, I reckon, to 2002, when “Bloody Sunday” and “Spirited Away” tied for the festival’s top prize. As long as I can remember, Berlin held the distant-third spot in the so-called “Big Three” festivals, far behind Cannes and Venice in both prestige and its power to attract the caliber of movies that shape the conversation.

‘Blue Moon’ Review: A Shimmering Script About Ol’ Broadway Struggles to Accommodate the Wrong Star

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Witticist-lyricist Lorenz Hart would cringe at the pun, but “Blue Moon” is nothing if not a funny valentine to the tortured (closeted, Jewish, alcoholic, diminutive) songwriter who died in 1943 at age 48, having drunk too much on opening night of his final collaboration with composer Richard Rodgers. Set six months earlier, Richard Linklater’s splendid portrait stars a courageous but egregiously miscast Ethan Hawke, chewing the scenery from a one-foot trench in the floor.

‘Girls on Wire’ Review: Two Cousins Reunited on a Chinese Film Set Are Trapped in a Melodrama of Their Own Making

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Flying high in one of the world’s most male-dominated film industries, Chinese writer-director Vivian Qu follows up her acclaimed 2017 drama “Angels Wear White” with the Berlin-competing “Girls on Wires.” Focused on the uneasy reunion between two estranged cousins who team up to beat the cycle of drug abuse and debt that’s been dragging their family down for decades, this is ambitious, moral-minded cinema for a mainstream Chinese audience, and as such, it seems only fair to forgive the kind of hammy acting and manipulative melodrama Americans accept from Clint Eastwood and Tyler Perry movies. There’s something charmingly old-fashioned in the way this movie tries to move viewers, using flashbacks to memories between cutie-pie kiddos Fang Di and Tian Tian — who were raised almost like sisters in Chongqing — to ensure the adversity they face as adults produces the expected quantity of tears.

‘Islands’ Review: Sam Riley Experiences ‘L’Avventura’ of a Lifetime in Soul-Searching European Thriller

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic German director Jan-Ole Gerster’s mesmerizing, mostly English-language “Islands” opens with a scene that for many would mark “rock bottom” — reason to check oneself into rehab — as Sam Riley’s Tom awakens in a field of sand dunes. He could have been dropped from heaven or belched up from below, but most likely just passed out … again.

‘Reflection in a Dead Diamond’ Review: While James Bond Awaits a Reboot, French Pair Pay Eye-Popping Homage to His ’60s-Era Imitators

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic If a picture is worth a thousand words, then every shot in Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s cine-kaleidoscopic “Reflection in a Dead Diamond” is worth its weight in cubic zirconia. The latest eyegasm from the French couple behind “The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears” continues their pop-art worship of guilty-pleasure ’60s cult cinema.

‘The Ice Tower’ Review: Cinema Itself Corrupts an Innocent Child, as Marion Cotillard Plays Its Icy Queen

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic A film set is no place for little girls. In the fairytale-adjacent world of Lucile Hadžihalilović’s frigid dark fantasy “The Ice Tower,” an orphan runs away from her foster home and takes refuge in the basement of a movie studio, finding herself drawn to the production — and its star, played by Marion Cotillard — the way a child in a Hans Christen Anderson story might be lured into the clutches of a wicked enchantress.

‘Dreams’ Review: A Stone-Cold Jessica Chastain Reunites With Director Michel Franco for a Thorny Moral Drama

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Among the Hollywood stars of her generation, Jessica Chastain has been uniquely selective about the characters she agrees to embody, resulting in a filmography that empowers women (from “Molly’s Game” to “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”) and centers on social issues (“Miss Sloane,” “Woman Walks Ahead”). Her characters are not always good people, but there’s always a good reason for the kind of role models she’s willing to put out into the world.

‘Mickey 17’ Review: A Dopey Robert Pattinson Is Dying to Make You Laugh in ‘Parasite’ Director’s Disappointing Follow-up

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic While two Mickeys may be better than one, by the time you get to seven or eight (the idea of Edward Ashton’s sci-fi novel “Mickey7”), or a number as unwieldy as 18 (the inflated figure in Bong Joon Ho’s big-screen adaptation), the prospect of an endless supply of gawping Robert Pattinson clones really starts to wear on us. The “Snowpiercer” director is back in familiar territory with “Mickey 17,” a bonkers sci-fi satire set in a grim future where Earth is no longer habitable, other planets must be colonized and the success of a four-year mission to the ice planet Niflheim depends on disposable human copies called Expendables.

‘The Light’ Review: Tom Tykwer Blasts Us With Issues but No Reason to Engage in Overlong Berlinale Opener

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic In “Run Lola Run,” director Tom Tykwer gave his fast-dashing heroine three chances to get things right, a formula that made it the highest-grossing German-language movie to hit the States since “Das Boot.” More than a quarter-century later, the world is still waiting for German cinema’s edgy new hope to repeat on that success. The director’s latest, an overwrought cri de cœur called “The Light,” marks the third time the always supportive Berlin Film Festival has given Tykwer its coveted kick-off slot.

How Best Picture Nominees Like ‘Conclave’ and ‘Emilia Perez’ Feel Different Under a Trump Presidency

Tomris Laffly “Election season is not for the weak.” Even this statement in the Telluride Film Festival program last fall couldn’t have guessed how directly German director Edward Berger’s stunning papal thriller “Conclave” would tackle our then-ongoing election season. The start of Berger’s eight-Oscar-nominee sees the sudden death of its fictional pope, with Ralph Fiennes’ Cardinal Lawrence leading the democratic proceedings to appoint a replacement.

‘Love Hurts’ Review: Oscar Winner Ke Huy Quan Gets His First Starring Role, and It’s Woefully Underwritten

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Ke Huy Quan has had a weird career. He made two widely seen studio hits as a child, endearing himself to a generation as Short Round in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and Data in “The Goonies.” Then he disappeared for a couple of decades, eventually resurfacing in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The Academy so loved Quan’s comeback, they gave him an Oscar, but it hasn’t been easy finding a big-screen follow-up for an actor who’s beloved by all, but severely limited in his range.

‘East of Wall’ Review: Three Generations of South Dakota Women Put a New Face on the Western

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic So much of the American cowboy mythos — the way they talk, the silhouette they cut, the clothes they wear — has been codified, if not invented wholesale, by Hollywood. From first shot to last, Kate Beecroft’s “East of Wall” expands our perception of those iconic horse wranglers to consider the women so often overlooked.
