"The Goldfinch" is a coming-of-age story, but it's specifically a coming-of-age story about overcoming trauma.

Director Andy Muschietti seems to have wanted to shoot all 1,100 pages if IT Chapter 2 as this movie goes on and on and on.

In the end, you'll feel either richly rewarded or blatantly manipulated, or maybe both by "After the Wedding."

"Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" should be embraced as a kind of 21st-century Jane Austen novel. Instead, Linklater inadvertently reduces it to a rather perfunctory self-help book. And that's not funny.

If you're having a hard time imagining a full-length movie of Dora, I don't blame you. I felt the same way before I saw "Dora the Explorer and the Lost City of Gold."

Sword of Trust is yet another collaboration between Marc Maron and director Lynn Shelton, about an antique sword at the center of this conspiracy comedy.
