Whereas The Gorge‘s romance is pretty tacky — and infrequently at odds with its characters’ hardened backgrounds — its motion and thriller parts are undeniably enjoyable.

Primarily based on a narrative from Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher novels, Sirens of the Deep sees Geralt and Jaskier caught on the point of conflict between people and merpeople within the seaside kingdom of Bremervoord. In my overview, I wrote, “Cockle’s performance combined with Studio MIR’s spectacular animated fight scenes make Sirens of the Deep a worthy watch for The Witcher fans. If you can survive the awkwardness of the romance scenes, can run with The Little Mermaid parallels, and have long yearned for a Joey Batey bard banger moment, you’ll have a decent time.” — Shannon Connellan, UK Editor

4. The White Lotus, Season 3
Mike White’s social satire The White Lotus heads to Thailand for its third outing, bringing its traditional staples of sophistication commentary, meme-worthy drama, and an A-list forged together with it. This time round, the company embrace Leslie Bibb (Juror #2), Carrie Coon (His Three Daughters), and Michelle Monaghan (MaXXXine) as three longtime pals on a ladies’ journey; Parker Posey (Beau Is Afraid) and Jason Isaacs (Baldur’s Gate 3) because the matriarch and patriarch of a rich household about to lose all the pieces; and Walton Goggins (Fallout) and Aimee Lou Wooden (Intercourse Schooling) as a touring couple. Plus, Natasha Rothwell (Find out how to Die Alone) is again as Season 1’s spa supervisor Belinda. Does she know what occurred to Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) on the finish of Season 2?
Season 3 of The White Lotus focuses on wellness and spirituality, contrasting these ideas with the unhealthy coping mechanisms individuals might flip to with the intention to really feel “well.” Sadly, the outcomes are combined, with too many characters jockeying for restricted narrative area to the purpose that some tales barely get the prospect to breathe. As I wrote in my overview, “the disparity between which group of guests gets the most airtime is much higher, making for a more disjointed season… The result is at once overstuffed and underdeveloped, albeit with a slim glimmer of hope that the finale can pull all these disparate threads together in spectacular fashion.” — B.E.

Thus, I concluded, “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is the best sequel of the batch. It’s joyful, seeded with Easter eggs, and radiant with Zellweger back in full effect, but it’s also a tearjerker that might well knock the wind out of you.”

Robbie Williams brings a wild makeover to the musical biopic with Higher Man. The English pop star performs narrator to his rags-to-riches story, whereas a collaboration between actor Jonno Davies and Wētā FX transforms the well-known dangerous boy right into a fun-loving chimpanzee.
The idea seems like a bonkers gimmick, however author/director Michael Gracey (The Biggest Showman) makes use of this ape to discover not simply what occurred in Williams’ life but additionally how he felt — like a dancing chimp. The metaphor does not get outdated; over the course of rousing musical numbers that chart William’s rise to fame, fall from grace, and discovering himself, it opens Higher Man as much as embrace the surreal and sensational. By rejecting the stodgy requirements of a respectful biopic, this film comes alive.
As I raved in Mashable’s overview out of TIFF, “Rich in vibrant emotion, body-rocking musical numbers, daring performances, and a scorching tenderness, Better Man more than rocks. It rules.”*— Ok.P.
Starring: Robbie Williams, Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton, Alison Steadman, Kate Mulvany, Damon Herriman, Raechelle Banno, and Jake Simmance

1. Circulation
One of many finest films of 2024 — and a two-time Oscar-nominee — Circulation is a dialogue-free journey by way of a flooded fantasy world that will go away you feeling as soaked (and harassed) as its unlikely heroes.
Director Gints Zilbalodis places us within the paws of a bit black cat struggling to outlive after a watery catastrophe sweeps it from its house. Stranded on a sailboat with a motley group of animals — together with a capybara, a lemur, a secretarybird, and a golden retriever — the cat should be taught to cooperate with its crew mates if it may adapt to this unusual new world.
Circulation eschews any hallmarks of how American animation portrays animals, as a substitute going for sensible animal sounds and actions. The result’s immediately engrossing. We’re initially alienated from the animals’ internal ideas and motivations, but Zilbalodis renders them clear by way of hyper-specific characterization and interactions. The animation (all accomplished in open-source 3D software program Blender) is hanging too, mixing detailed textures and graphics to create a movie that’s stunning but considerably unfamiliar. There is no approach you possibly can look away from this candy, layered story of teamwork and the local weather disaster, or the dear feline at its coronary heart.* — B.E.
Find out how to watch: Circulation involves Max on Feb. 14.
