"The Matrix Resurrections" offers a return to a remarkable world and also manages to offer something new in a way that feels both organic and original.

"Spider-Man: No Way Home" debuted on top of the box-office weekend, besting the second-place film by $246.5 million, making it the top grossing film of the year (domestically speaking).

Guillermo del Toro's "Nightmare Alley" is an effective exercise in the art of storytelling through the use of exquisite character development and execution.
