Richard Linklater is not one of the superstar filmmakers, but since 1988, he’s made 35 movies. He’s one of the key independent filmmakers of the 1990s who’s still doing significant work now. For KUNC film critic Howie Movshovitz, Linklater’s unobtrusive style has never been so powerful as in his new picture Hit Man, about someone who’s not exactly what he seems — or maybe he is.

The new movie Humane from Caitlin Cronenberg is a brave effort to create a horror film based in modern climate woes. It's compelling at the start but fails to maintain depth as the movie winds on.

In 1975, just months before the celebration of the American bicentennial, Robert Altman released his film Nashville. At the time, it was taken as a provocative statement about this country.

The 28th Denver Jewish Film Festival opens on March 9 with eight days of films and events relating to Jewish life and the Jewish experience rooted in the present and the past. KUNC film critic Howie Movshovitz says that the festival takes on particular importance amid a time of rising anti-Semitism and conflict.

The title of the new film by Jonathan Glazer, The Zone of Interest, is a bland Nazi designation for the area surrounding the Auschwitz concentration and death camps during World War II. The movie comes from a novel by Martin Amis, and KUNC film critic Howie Movshovitz calls the movie utterly chilling.

The new film Ferrari imagines the larger-than-life figure of Enzo Ferrari, the one-time race driver and then head of the company that built the cars famous for speed, elegance and expense. KUNC film critic Howie Movshovitz says that it’s a jumbled movie of mixed tones – and that may be the point.

The new movie 'Priscilla' from director Sofia Coppola is about the teenager who married Elvis Presley. In the film, Presley looks like a predator — not the great rock ‘n’ roll singer.

Although the film Between Two Worlds came out in France in 2021, it’s just recently come out in the United States, mostly on various screening platforms. KUNC film critic Howie Movshovitz says that while it’s too bad the movie hasn’t hit a Colorado movie screen, any chance to see it is worthwhile.

By design, Telluride forces viewers to make choices over which films to view during the festival. KUNC film critic Howie Movshovitz said, of the films he watched during the festival, at least two new pictures had 'stunning power.'

The new film 'Golda' paints a picture of Israeli prime minister Golda Meir, played by Helen Mirren, during the Yom Kippur War. Despite the dramatic political backdrop during Meir's leadership, KUNC film critic Howie Movshovitz said the movie rendition lacks both depth of character and plot.
