Grab your fedora and leather jacket and swing on over to the nearest multiplex. Indiana Jones is back, this time on the hunt for "The Dial of Destiny." Our critic Manohla Dargis called the new film "overstuffed if not entirely charmless," but praised the work of the longtime Indy player, Harrison Ford. "It's hard to believe this or any other installment would have worked half as well without Ford, whose gruffly appealing, unthreatening (to women, importantly) masculine persona has always felt natural and unforced."
This week includes a couple of intriguing options on streaming platforms as well. There's "Nimona" (on Netflix), an animated feature based on the ND Stevenson comic about an intriguing shape-shifting villain. Amy Nicholson had mixed thoughts, writing, "at first, the look (particularly the lifeless backgrounds) is so slapdash that you're tempted to flee. But jokes litter the film like scattered Legos." Read an interview with the graphic novel author Stevenson.
And a new documentary on Max, "Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed," takes a closer look at the gay Hollywood actor and how living in the closet throughout his career clouded his life. The critic Calum Marsh wrote that the director Stephan Kijak "seems keenly interested in the ways in which Hudson's sexuality manifested itself, largely unintentionally, in his movies — coded but legible on the surface of the image."
Also, our critics rounded up a handful of their favorite films from the year so far, almost all of which are now available to stream. Check it out, and enjoy the movies!
