The Odyssey (2026) ****

Terrific action movie about a great hero of Greek mythology. Superb in (almost) all respects. Unfairly maligned for its casting choices. But the real flaw is how prudish it is, especially in the disappointing scene with mermaids.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) ***

Fine sequel to the 2026 hit. Not many surprises, but Meryl Streep is as fabulous as ever, Anne Hathaway is way better than in The Odyssey, Stanley Tucci steals every scene he is in and Emily Blunt lets us discover a completely different side of her character. The second act is a bit weak, but the film sticks the landing.

The Drama (2026) ***

Very complex, very nuanced and quite surprising film about a young couple facing a very unexpected crisis.
