The New Boy
Starring: Cate Blanchett Directed by Warwick Thornton
Synopsis:
From acclaimed filmmaker Warwick Thornton, The New Boy takes place in 1940s Australia at a remote monastery with a mission for Aboriginal children run by a renegade nun, Sister Eileen (Cate Blanchett). A new charge (Aswan Reid) is delivered in the dead of night – a boy who appears to have special powers. However, the boy’s Indigenous spiritual life does not mesh with the mission’s Christianity and his mysterious power becomes a threat. Sister Eileen is faced with a choice between the traditions of her faith and the truth embodied in the boy, in this story of spiritual struggle and the cost of survival.
What critics say:
Thornton, who briefly attended a Christian boarding school when he was a child, brings a textured perspective to this story of cultural violence and white guilt.
– Beatrice Loayza, New York Times
A gentle, odd little Australian fable. Warwick Thornton’s film has a lot of thoughts to process, and while they don’t always cohere, the performances from Blanchett and Reid keep it interesting.

Lilo Stitch
Starring: Maia Kealoha, Sydney Agudong, Chris Sanders Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp
Synopsis:
A fugitive alien helps a lonely Hawaiian girl mend her broken family.
What critics say:
Live-action recycling makes characters you know and love more “real.” And too often, that realism comes with only trace elements of real charm, or magic.
– Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Lilo & Stitch is not only incredibly well cast, it also brings the movie into 2025 with some smart changes and thoughtful additions.

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning
Starring: Tom Cruise, Hailey Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg Directed by Christopher McQuarrie
Synopsis:
Our lives are the sum of our choices. Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
What critics say:
An entire generation has grown up learning what a movie is from “Mission: Impossible”… Cruise has taught them that it isn’t a conglomeration of CGI pixels or green-screen fakery, but something of genuine awe and, at its best, sublime artistry.
– Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Final Reckoning is a noble exemplar of a dying breed: the big, dumb, fun action blockbuster with a bona fide movie star at its center, putting it all on the line—and hanging on for dear life—just to keep us at the edge of our theater seats.
– Dana Stevens, Slate
