Wicked is one of the best musicals that has hit Broadway, and the movie is a direct screen adaptation of the stage play. The story is solid the entire way throughout and the music is some of the best in the genre. 

Anora is a film about a sex worker in Brooklyn who meets and marries the son of a Russian oligarch. After his family finds out, they try to annul the marriage. If that premise sounds interesting to you, the movie, with six Oscar nominations including Best Picture, is much better.

Emilia Pérez, which leads this year’s Oscar contenders with 13 nominations, is as bad as people say it is. Sure, there are some good things about the film that elevate it above being just a bad movie. Unfortunately, these just aren’t enough to save the film.

Best Picture nominee Conclave follows a Catholic cardinal as he leads the conclave in choosing a new pope. While this is a very good film that closely depicts the process of choosing a new Pope, parts of it can be confusing.

The Brutalist is a 2024 film about László Toth, a Hungarian-Jewish architect who survived the holocaust and immigrated to America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage. The film is nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor a and Best Supporting Actress.
