The BFG
Sophie, a little orphan girl, is snatched from her bed late at night by a big-hearted, vegetarian giant and is whisked off to an unwelcoming land of oversize cannibals in Roald Dahl’s much-cherished 1982 children’s story The BFG. For this movie version, aimed squarely at kids who love the book, Steven Spielberg, who worked with his late E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial screenwriter Melissa Mathison, makes the most of Dahl’s spare tale. Naturally, he’s more interested in the wonder of dreams than the terror of nightmares, resulting in a movie that’s gentle and charming (if a tiny bit sluggish). Still, the giant that Spielberg has created with actor Mark Rylance is testament to how fast this technology is moving: The BFG is a fleshy marvel, full of personality, flaws and life. He does indeed look very, very friendly. And young Ruby Barnhill, who early in the film threatens to be annoyingly bossy and stompy, delivers a performance that gives way to something more sweet and vulnerable, steering well clear of cute. The story plays like a reversal of E.T. (here it’s a human child who must return home and flee an alien land). Spielberg nods to his earlier movie with a striking moment when the BFG is silhouetted against a blazing sun. For all the film’s strengths, though, it’s hard to shake the lingering feeling that something is missing. Certainly this slightly mournful BFG could use more humor (it’s no Paddington) and also a more personal spin (it’s no Fantastic Mr. Fox either). But fl

American Honey
There are many extraordinary moments, beautiful shots and intoxicating rushes of pure teenage adrenalin in British filmmaker Andrea Arnold's fractured portrait of American teenagers—which makes it all the more frustrating that her fourth film stops short of being more than a fitfully exciting, overlong experiment. Heavily musical, rowdy and fleshy, it’s structured less as a story and more as fragments hung together in disparate episodes with a strong air of on-the-road improvisation. American Honey is an extreme road movie about a gang of teens selling magazine subscriptions door to door, state to state, in the Midwest. Our guide to their anarchic lifestyle is Star (Sasha Lane), a searching, unformed girl who we follow tightly (once again, Arnold's regular cinematographer Robbie Ryan shoots American Honey right up close, claustrophobically, in the near-square Academy ratio). We first meet Star caring for two young kids and trying to avoid the gropes of a drunk who seems to be her father. But it's not long before she bumps into funny but dangerous Jake (Shia LaBeouf), tough Krystal (Riley Keough) and their door-to-door sales gang, and she hits the road with them. The rest of the film flits between events that reflect Star's growing sense of self—encounters with potential clients, sex with Jake, risk-taking with older men—and repetitive atmospheric scenes that lean on Terrence Malick-style nature shots or on moments that capture the largely anonymous group of teens partying,

Kubo and the Two Strings
For impeccably crafted tearjerkers, leave yourself in the capable hands of Pixar. For something a few notches darker—like this dazzling Edo-period–set animated movie concerning a Japanese fable of devotion and bravery—the wildly inventive stop-motion group Laika has you covered. Its visual stunner Kubo and the Two Strings—directed by Travis Knight, the lead animator of Laika’s The Boxtrolls and ParaNorman—follows our hero Kubo (Art Parkinson), a resourceful, one-eyed 12-year-old with unrefined powers he inherited from his mother, a god. Carrying the mantle of his deceased samurai father, Kubo draws on his exceptional storytelling gifts, aided by an abundance of colorful origami figures that magically materialize and gracefully fold themselves into his tales. He also scrapes together funds from townspeople to care for his loving, somberly depressed mom, a lonely widow. Still furious about her marriage to a mere mortal (over though it is), Kubo’s relatives vow vengeance. There are his creepy, immortal twin aunts (Rooney Mara), whose every appearance rivals the unsettling sisters from The Shining, as well as a malicious maternal grandfather (Ralph Fiennes). They decide to track down our young hero to steal his remaining eye and make him “as blind to humanity as they are.” But joined by a quick-witted, protective monkey (Charlize Theron) and a friendly warrior cursed with an erased memory (Matthew McConaughey), Kubo embarks on a journey to retrieve a suit of armor that could sa

The Magnificent Seven
If you wanted to point to the perfect Hollywood Western—not necessarily the most complex or delicately shaded, but tallest in the saddle—John Sturges’s iconic 1960 oater would be hard to outgun. It sweeps you up in manly camaraderie, has a killer cast of rising action stars (Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn) and gallops along to the most exhilarating opening theme ever composed for a movie. Don’t blame Training Day’s Antoine Fuqua for wanting to remake it. His sturdy new version, starring a flint-eyed Denzel Washington as bounty hunter Sam Chisolm (a role once filled by Yul Brynner, passing for “Cajun”), plays closer to the original’s source material, Akira Kurosawa’s smoky Seven Samurai. Like the best Westerns, it's also timely: A tale about a black hero and his six men who clean up a besieged town from rapacious businessmen, it feels like an unambiguously fond farewell to the Obama years. And if Peter Sarsgaard’s villain isn’t in the same league as the first film’s Eli Wallach, he brings some serious scowl to the proceedings. Today’s Magnificent Seven is a vehicle for wall-to-wall action, including one devastating sequence with a hand-cranked Gatling gun that calls to mind Sam Peckinpah’s gory The Wild Bunch. If Fuqua and his screenwriters (including True Detective’s Nic Pizzolatto) slightly botch the underlying theme of redemption—Ethan Hawke’s haunted ex-Confederate sharpshooter could have been more developed—it still makes good on its ideas of community pri

Bridget Jones's Baby
Clever old Bridget (Renée Zellweger). There’s been a hell of a lot criticism of her for crimes against feminism, but here she is, triumphantly returning in her forties, funnier, wittier, and—perhaps most importantly—happier with herself. And unlike the last film in the series, 2004’s The Edge of Reason, you don’t need to knock back several large glasses of chardonnay for this one to make you laugh. Bridget Jones’s Baby picks up a few years after her relationship with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) went south. Bridge is now 43 and single. But instead of crying into her cardigan about dying alone, she has thrown herself into her brilliant career as a top TV news producer. (Honestly, she can even pronounce the names of obscure genocidal dictators.) Her friends have all settled down and babied-up, so she’s got a new bestie, hard-partying millennial Miranda (Sarah Solemani). After declaring that she’s past her sexual sell-by date, Bridget has two drunken one-night stands and finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. Is the dad emotionally constipated Mark? Or sexy American billionaire Jack (Patrick Dempsey)? The screenplay is a team effort by Dan Mazer (who’s worked with Sacha Baron Cohen), Helen Fielding and Emma Thompson, who writes herself a hilarious role as a sharp-tongued doctor and gives herself the best line in the movie: Kicking men out of the delivery room, she tells them: “My ex said it was like watching his favorite pub burn down.” Smartly, and without harping on about it, th

Queen of Katwe
The irresistible message of Mira Nair’s big-hearted Disney feel-good film Queen of Katwe is that when kids grow up in poverty, the world misses out on some of its best and brightest talents. Set in one of Uganda's poorest slums, Katwe (pronounced Kah-tway), this English-language film is based on the story of real-life chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi, who overcame two impossible hurdles—being poor and being a girl—to become a teenage champion. We meet Phiona (Madina Nalwanga) at age nine selling corn from a bowl on her head to help her mom (Lupita Nyong’o), a widow raising five kids on her own. What lures Phiona into a chess club for slum children run by a volunteer (Selma's David Oyelowo) is a free cup of porridge. She can’t read or write, but she’s transfixed by the pieces on wooden boards painted with black and white squares. It’s impossible to watch the young cast that Nair (Monsoon Wedding) has assembled without a big smile creeping on to your face. Wisecracking and charismatic, they light up the screen with their natural, full-of-life performances. If the uplifting underdog story of Phiona Mutesi didn't exist, Disney might have had to invent it. There are no surprises here. What you expect to happen does happens (and you wonder why the filmmakers chose not to mention that Phiona’s dad died from AIDS?). When the kids travel to a tournament at a fancy boarding school, the rich snobs sneer at them. One little shit wipes his hand on the tablecloth after a handshake with Phiona

Blair Witch
If there were any film whose lightning would seem impossible to recapture in a bottle, it’s The Blair Witch Project. The you-are-there vérité techniques that gave the 1999 horror movie such a frightening immediacy have passed into cliché, and there’s no way today’s audiences would fall for the original marketing campaign’s “It really happened!” pitch. So it’s something of a small miracle that the 17-years-later Blair Witch, essentially a sequel-as-remake (ignore 2000’s Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2), emerges as satisfying in its own right and pretty damn scary. Director Adam Wingard and screenwriter Simon Barrett, the accomplished team behind You’re Next and The Guest, reference the pervasiveness of homemade footage by opening on a website: Newly discovered video—apparently of original victim Heather—has been posted. Her brother, James (James Allen McCune), is inspired to head back into Maryland’s Black Hills Forest in search of his long-lost sibling, and he’s joined by film student Lisa (Callie Hernandez) and friends Peter (Brandon Scott) and Ashley (Corbin Reid). They’re outfitted with high-tech cameras including GoPros and even a drone. With all this technology in their hands, there’s no way they can get lost, right? (Right?) Wingard and Barrett briefly acknowledge the prior movie’s legacy, but they mostly devote themselves to rerunning its scenario with the dial turned up to 11. With a few new wrinkles worked into the mythology, particularly a nasty, literal twist on t

Finding Dory
While Finding Dory is definitely the kind of visual pleasure we’ve come to expect from Pixar, its storyline doesn’t always reach the heights of inventiveness upon which the gigantic animation studio has built its reputation. The film lacks the psychological probing of Inside Out, the existential ponderings of Wall-E, the gentle, stoic sadness of Up. But it’s still a solid, moving sequel to 2003’s Finding Nemo, following the adventures of Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), an adorably ditzy amnesiac blue tang fish, as she seeks the Californian family she suddenly remembers losing. There’s a neat symmetry here: In Nemo, a father (Albert Brooks) looks for his lost infant (Alexander Gould); in Dory, a grown-up daughter searches for her parents. The switch, though, has a resultant lack of urgency; there’s more dramatic tension and tear-inducing moments when a child goes missing than when a parent is suddenly remembered by their adult offspring. Dory rediscovers her childhood home in a corner of the California Marine Life Institute, a place for ichthyological study, presided over by the disembodied, omniscient voice of Sigourney Weaver, playing herself (think of those museum-guide gadgets narrated by celebrities). Weaver brings a wonderfully surreal note to the film that will sail over the heads of younger viewers—she’s a welcome presence in a Pixar offering that has less-than-the-usual number of gags pitched at older viewers. In keeping with the film’s subtle celebration of difference, Do
