“We’re All Going to the World’s Fair,” New York-based filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun's new movie, feels the alienation of a life lived online deep within its bones.

Review: ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once' is transcendent and a bit exhausting
In many ways, “Everything Everywhere” is a transcendently singular film that remixes familiar genre tropes into something that feels wholly new and quietly revolutionary. In other ways, it’s just exhausting. FOX film critic Caroline Siede reviews the highly anticipated Michelle Yeoh film.
Review: Yes, ‘Ambulance’ is stupid — but oh boy, is it fun
Michael Bay's “Ambulance” is a bifurcated mess that can’t decide what kind of movie it wants to be and so chooses instead to be several movies at once. Yet in spite of (or perhaps because of) its myriad flaws, it’s impossible to resist the film’s siren song. FOX film critic Allison Shoemaker reviews the action expert's latest.
Review: ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ is bigger and more boring than the original

Review: ‘Morbius’ is a boring, bloodless bat man
Originally planned for a July 2020 premiere before the pandemic pushed it back, “Morbius” is ostensibly Sony Pictures’ attempt to recapture the “Spider-Man”-adjacent success of its gonzo “Venom” franchise.
