InSam Taylor-Johnson’s excellent debut feature,Nowhere Boy, she took on a familiar subject: the late John Lennon. What she decided to focus on about Lennon, however, was unique. Starting in his teenage years, she probed how sex and the thrill of performance drove the young musician, right as he was meeting the other young men who would start The Beatles.

Making her acting breakthrough inRobert Eggers’The Witch, Taylor-Joy is often praised for her acting style, which usually balances innocence and cunning. It’s incredible that the beloved actressdidn’t study acting or the performing arts before her debut(although she did take drama at school). But with a past career training in ballet and having formerly been scouted by a modeling agency, it’s no secret that Taylor-Joy has a certain star quality to her....

Though the films lack the stylistic oomph of something like the similarly estimableMission Impossiblefranchise, each film is staggeringly engrossing, kinetic, and totally exhilarating from beginning to end. That goes as much forDoug Liman’sThe Bourne IdentityasTony Gilroy’s oft-derided, actually pretty stellarThe Bourne Legacy,and word from a few sources says that the upcomingJason Bourne, which once again pairsMatt Damonwith directorPaul Greengrass, is just as good....

Summer of ’84is like a kid playing with his dad’s gun, and he gets to be so irritating and cocky that you eventually wish he’ll just shoot himself in the foot and get it over with. Without a shred of originality,Francois Simard,Anouk Whissell, andYoann-Karl Whissell’s film leans heavily into every cliché it can find, and then wants to walk away with a sense of smug satisfaction at the end for “going there” when everyone could see what was going to happen from a mile away....
