Movie Reviews

Colorful and touching, “Luca” is a quality offering fit for almost all ages.

Streaming now on HBO Max, “Starstruck” is, in a sense, a millennial take on the romantic comedy “Notting Hill.”

Comic book characters never really die. Consider the titular protagonist of the Disney+ science-fiction series “Loki.”

Needlessly gory, the action-comedy sequel “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard” (Lionsgate) also presents a debased view of sexual intimacy between spouses.

The work of God’s providence is central to the drama “A Father’s Legacy” (Cinedigm), which comes to theaters for one night only June 17 as a Fathom Events presentation.

Composer and lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda’s award-winning 2008 Broadway hit “In the Heights” (Warner Bros.) comes to the big screen (and to HBO Max) in a sweeping adaptation directed by Jon M. Chu and scripted by the writer of the stage show’s book, Quiara Alegría Hudes.

The beloved characters created by Beatrix Potter in her series of children’s books stray even further from their amiable roots in “Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway” (Columbia).

Visually stunning, the new feature — “Spirit Untamed” (Universal)– is also family-friendly.
