‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’ review: A cougar roars in funny, touching movie

Running time: 124 minutes. Rated R (language and some sexual references).Cheers to Renee Zellweger, who for 24 years has given us the greatest romantic-comedy heroine of the millennium.Back in 2001, her casting as Bridget Jones, author Helen Fielding’s intensely relatable English klutz beloved by Brits, caused an uproar. An American as Bridget?! Outrageous.But Zellweger proved perfect as the vodka-soaked Londoner in her 32nd year of being single.

‘Paddington in Peru’ review: This cute little bear goes full Indiana Jones

Paddington 2,” was stupendous beyond belief seven years ago. This latest chapter, directed by Dougal Wilson, settles for being merely super.Regardless, as far as children’s movies go, you could do a whole lot worse.

‘Opus,’ with Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich, is a wreck at Sundance

Blink Twice” last year and Rian Johnson’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” in 2023. Heck, it’s the rough plot of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”Green’s lesser, indulgent, tiresome spin is set around the music industry and the obsessive fandom it inspires. What with Swifties and Little Monsters, his vision is topical in that it’s both relevant and completely surface-level.

‘Ballad of Wallis Island’ will be one of the year’s most heart-warming movies

Running time: 100 minutes. Not yet rated. In theaters March 28.At first glance, the plot of “The Ballad of Wallis Island,” one of the most joyous surprises at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, looks like that of a sub-standard rom-com.A former folk rock duo, who were also a romantic couple until the group dramatically split up, are separately invited to put on a reunion concert on a remote British island for an audience of just one big spender.That premise could be a recipe for ridiculousness.

‘The Thing With Feathers’ Sundance review: Benedict Cumberbatch talks to a giant crow in bizarre misfire

Running time: 104 minutes. Not yet rated.PARK CITY, Utah — Another title for “The Thing With Feathers,” which premiered Saturday night at the Sundance Film Festival, could be “The Giant Talking Crow.”Because, despite Benedict Cumberbatch’s fragile and aching performance as a widowed dad of two young boys, the bird is the word. The actor is constantly upstaged by his pesky Crow-star, who’s meant to be the anthropomorphic embodiment of dad’s grief, but is really just a massive, ridiculous distraction.

‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ review: Jennifer Lopez’s movie-musical is another disappointment

“Kiss of the Spider Woman,” based on the Tony Award-winning 1993 Broadway show by John Kander and Fred Ebb, has its work cut out for it from the opening credits.After all, two of the greatest movie-musicals ever made were adapted from that legendary duo’s oeuvre: “Cabaret” and “Chicago.” Both of those stylish hits are, for good reason, enduring Best Picture winners.I doubt cinema-classic status will be the path for wobbly Ms. “Spider Woman,” which premiered Sunday night at the Sundance Film Festival. Caught in her web, I was not.

‘Twinless’ Sundance review: Everybody will be talking about this wild movie

Running time: 100 minutes. Not yet rated.PARK CITY, Utah — The No. 1 movie at this year’s Sundance Film Festival that will have the masses talking when it hits theaters in a few months is “Twinless.” Bring an oxygen tank, you’ll be gasping so much.

This is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen at Sundance

It’s almost amusing when actors Sarah Goldberg and Himesh Patel’s Delores and Declan are held at customs for allegedly smuggling the veg during their honeymoon. Flabbergasted, they’re told by a Slavic agent (Steven Yeun) they must pay a $70,000 fine and decide which one of them will die.Instead of voluntary execution, the duo decides to break out of the holding room and make a run for it. Delores stands up, and we observe she obviously has about 30 heads of cabbage stuffed in her pants.

Rose Byrne is terrifying in ‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’ at Sundance

Rated R (language, some drug use and bloody images).PARK CITY, Utah — What will surely go down as one the most stressful movies of the year is “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” which premiered Friday at the Sundance Film Festival.Writer-director Mary Bronstein’s absorbing psychological drama about a mother at her breaking point is two hours of mounting anxiety and nervousness. For Rose Byrne’s falling-apart Linda, and for us.I’m sweating just thinking about it.Bronstein takes otherwise unremarkable domestic moments — driving with a pet hamster in the backseat, arguing with a parking attendant, dropping a pizza box — and depicts them through the eyes of a mom struggling to cope. Basically, a horror film.

‘Jimpa’ Sundance review: John Lithgow stars as a gay grandpa in sappy film that tries too hard

Running time: 123 minutes. Not yet rated.Earnest sentimentality and a family casually yakking about sexual kinks make for strange bedfellows in “Jimpa,” an off-kilter dramedy that had its world premiere Thursday at the Sundance Film Festival.

‘The Brutalist’ review: Adrien Brody is perfect in this riveting, mammoth epic

Running time: 215 minutes. Rated R (strong sexual content, graphic nudity, rape, drug use and some language).In every sense, the extraordinary director Brady Corbet’s period drama about a Jewish architect who emigrates to the US after World War II is mammoth: its decadeslong story, titanic set pieces and, perhaps most of all, the headline-making runtime. “The Brutalist” lasts more than three and a half hours and includes an intermission — making it the first major movie to have an added break since 1982’s “Gandhi.” (Note that at some 70 mm screenings in New York, the interval goes on for nearly a half hour to allow for switching film parcels).

These 5 godawful movies tormented us in 2024: ‘Megalopolis,’ ‘Joker: Folie a Deux’

10 best movies of the year.Is it OK for lauded directors to spend $100 million of their own fortune on a laughable ego trip? Absolutely. It’s also fine for them to fill a gold-plated swimming pool with Skittles. But that doesn’t mean critics have to like or even respect it — especially when they’re charging the public to sit through their self-indulgent twaddle.
