    The Favourite
    The Favourite, with a profane, erudite script by Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara, is a farce with teeth, a costume drama with sharp political instincts and an aggressive sense of the absurd.

    Creed II
    Creed II is a terrific movie, a boxing picture full of inspired sweetness and shrewd science that honors the cherished traditions of the genre while feeling like something new and exciting in the world.

    • 60 A.O. Scott
    Green Book
    There’s not much here you haven’t seen before, and very little that can’t be described as crude, obvious and borderline offensive, even as it tries to be uplifting and affirmative. And yet! There is also something about this movie that prevented me from collapsing into a permanent cringe as I watched it. Or rather, two things: the lead performances.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 A.O. Scott
    Widows
    The result is a fascinating and sometimes frustrating hybrid, a film that tries both to transcend and to exploit its genre.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 A.O. Scott
    The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
    The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is one of the darkest movies by Joel and Ethan Coen, and also among the silliest. It swerves from goofy to ghastly so deftly and so often that you can’t always tell which is which.
