Speaking of box office, it's a busy week of new releases this week. "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" arrives at the megaplex. The critic Amy Nicholson writes that it's a "goofy seventh installment that rattles along well enough until the wheels fall off." If you're looking for something smaller scale, the critic Manohla Dargis recommends "Scarlet," the story of a French father and daughter in the years after World War I, writing, "They will persevere, fortified by their humanity, by their rooted sense of place and by the enduring strength of their affections." |
