Since its launch on what-was-Epix (now MGM+) back in 2022, “From” has scratched an itch for TV viewers who miss the twisting sci-fi tales of not just “LOST” but its many imitators. Often directed by that show’s legendary director, Jack Bender, and starring Harold Perrineau in a role that doesn’t feel that different from Michael
The Chicago Film Critics Association announces the line-up for the 13th Chicago Critics Film Festival, running from May 1-7, 2026 at the historic Music Box Theatre.

The Cannes Film Festival announced the first selections for its 2026 program this year, a diverse array of films from international masters from around the world, blended in with new, unexpected voices. After a 2025 program of high profile Hollywood premieres like the last “Mission: Impossible” movie and Spike Lee’s “Highest 2 Lowest,” this year
They say no one wins when the family feuds. Maybe not, but the bestseller lists, box office, and streaming would like a word. Anything that makes us yell, “mommy, daddy, don’t!” with our faces only partially covered and a grin on our lips, has a good chance of winning us over. There’s the vitriolic fallout
In the wake of shows like “Succession,” “Industry,” and “Billions,” it makes sense for the big cable networks to continue mining data for novel ways to explore the absurdity and nihilism of today’s tech-fueled apocalypse. It’s an environment writer Jonathan Glatzer is certainly familiar with, having cut his teeth on “Succession” and “Better Call Saul,”

This is not meant as a criticism, but a natural response when watching the film.

Whether Hamm is playing FBI agents in “The Town,” “Bad Times at the El Royale” and “Richard Jewell,” a police chief in “Maggie Moore(s),” criminals in “Baby
An emotionally autobiographical work in line with the filmmaker’s previous short films, which straddle the world of creative nonfiction, Sophy Romvari’s debut feature film “Blue Heron” mines her family’s own painful history to craft a tender film that expands the potential of what a coming-of-age film can be. Blurring the lines between the past and
It’s wild to think, going into the fifth season of Apple TV’s lush, sorely underrated science fiction series “For All Mankind,” that Ronald D. Moore‘s alt-history saga began with a simple premise: What if the Russians beat us to the Moon by just a few weeks back in the 1960s? In the seasons since, Moore,
