The Odyssey (2026) ****

Terrific action movie about a great hero of Greek mythology. Superb in all respects. Unfairly maligned for its casting choices. However, the only point that actually should be criticized is its excessive modesty, especially in the disappointing scene involving the mermaids...

A Netflix mini-series about a string of murders in a small town near Atlanta.

People We Meet On Vacation (2026) ***


A romantic comedy about two friends who decide to meet every year for a shared summer vacation, even as their lives take very different paths. A charming riff on "When Harry Met Sally" (1989).

Montreal ma belle (2026) ***


A tender film about a May-December (or maybe May-September) lesbian romance.
