No Time To Die (2021) ***
Excellent James Bond movie, with a bravura comic performance by Ana de Armas, a more subtle, but equally memorable supporting role by Lashana Lynch, spectacular scenery, great action scenes and a very unusual ending.
King Richard (2021) ***
Impressive drama about tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams, with Will Smith in an Oscar-winning performance as their hard-driving father.
West Side Story (2021) ***
An inferior remake of the 1961 Oscar-winning classic. Still impressive for its great songs and superbly choreographed musical numbers.

Lingui, les liens sacrés (2021) **
A pregnant Muslim teenage girl in Chad tries to have an abortion.
Flee (2021) **
Quite a rarity, an animated documentary film from Denmark, which managed a trifecta of Oscar nominations: as Best Animated Feature, as Best Documentary Feature and as Best Foreign Film.
A Hero (2021) ***
Not as impressive as Asghar Farhadi's previous masterworks ("About Elly", "A Separation", "Le Passe" and "The Salesman"), but still a very fine Iranian melodrama about personal integrity and social prejudices.
