Friday Film Review

A film about a missed colonoscopy and ensuing cancer diagnosis shouldn’t be this funny. But the 2025 Sundance Audience Favorite Documentary, “André Is an Idiot,” is hysterical, as well as life-affirming and wildly original.

“Peaky Blinders” ends where it began: with family and Cillian Murphy. The British gangster film shifts from its limited theatrical release to streaming on Netflix beginning March 20.

It’s only spring, but a new film may already have the best title of the year — “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.” The story that follows is weird, unpredictable, kinda funny and kinda scary.

“In the Blink of an Eye” is an epic narrative, connecting three distinct human eras tens of thousands of years apart. It premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize.

“How to Make a Killing” is an updated version of a classic British comedy. But all it shows is how not to do a remake.

The film “Marty Supreme” is intense and frenzied – and is nominated for nine Academy Awards.

Rachel McAdams transitions from one of the “Mean Girls” to one-up the revenge plotting Veronica from “Heathers” in the darkly comedic horror film “Send Help.”

This week’s Friday Film Review looks at “Hamnet,” a backstory about William Shakespeare’s family that’s been getting a lot of award-season attention.

“Song Sung Blue” is a biographical musical drama — not about Neil Diamond, but about a Wisconsin couple who became locally famous by creating a “Neil Diamond Experience.”

The new film “Anaconda” is a reboot — and also, a spoof about Hollywood doing reboots.
