New movie reviews: Critics' picks
Godzilla
- Rated as: 4/5
- Critics choice
The granddaddy of Japanese monster movies returns in a 60th-anniversary restoration that will knock you back like its title character’s nuclear breath.
Fading Gigolo
- Rated as: 4/5
- Critics choice
The hook is Woody Allen as a pimp (har), but the real appeal here is John Turturro—writing, directing and acting in a romantic comedy that takes women’s needs seriously.
Manakamana
- Rated as: 5/5
- Critics choice
This sublime experimental documentary is comprised of gorgeous and probing one-shots of passengers traveling to a Nepalese temple via cable car. It’s a journey worth taking.

Nymphomaniac: Volume II
- Rated as: 4/5
- Critics choice
Lars von Trier’s saga continues: weirder, rougher and deeper into scary psychosexual terrain (a place where Charlotte Gainsbourg excels).
New movie releases
Proxy
- Rated as: 3/5
An impressive level of tension is maintained through the first hour of this initially riveting, finally ludicrous thriller.
Joe
- Rated as: 3/5
A moody, melancholic throwback to the regional dramas that first gained director David Gordon Green attention.
Cuban Fury
- Rated as: 3/5
Nick Frost and Rashida Jones play salsa-mad coworkers in a film that's cute in concept, but short on clear punch lines.
Rio 2
- Rated as: 3/5
Though a touch calculated, this sequel's characterizations are feisty, its song-and-dance sequences intricate.
Perfect Sisters
- Rated as: 3/5
Give credit to director Stan Brooks for allowing his two former child stars some real meat to sink their chops into.
Oculus
- Rated as: 3/5
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the deadest of them all? That’s the sort of rhetorical query facing siblings Kaylie (Karen Gillan) and Tim (Brenton Thwaites), who reunite after a decade to take
Dom Hemingway
- Rated as: 2/5
There are only so many scenes anyone can take of Jude Law (still not suited to middle age) strutting down the street shooting his mouth off.
Alan Partridge
- Rated as: 3/5
If you had sky-high hopes for the big-screen outing of Alan Partridge, Steve Coogan’s smarmy chat-show journalist, now’s the time to moderate them.
