Writer/director Bradley Cooper's "Is This Thing On?" (at @TheNYFF) is an amiable comedy-drama about marriage that's elevated by standout turns by Will Arnett and Laura Dern.
Will Arnett and Laura Dern Shine in Bradley Cooper’s Latest
“Is This Thing On?” is basically Cooper’s less intense version of “Marriage Story.”

“No Other Choice” (at @TheNYFF) is a caustically satiric portrait of the rat race as legitimately killer, and another feather in the cap of one of world cinema’s true maestros.
This Is the Funniest—and Darkest—Satire of the Year
“No Other Choice” is a pitch-black, deliciously devious comedy that far too many people will relate to.

"Vicious" is a sly, sinister film about self-loathing, sacrifice, and the things people will do to survive—with a great tormented performance from Dakota Fanning at its center.
Dakota Fanning’s Horror Movie Is a Delicious Halloween Treat
Spooky Season just got more interesting.

"The Chair Company" is more of the same inspired Tim Robinson lunacy - except this time, with a conspiratorial mystery-thriller twist.
Tim Robinson Fanatics Will Love His Bonkers New Comedy
The cult-favorite comedy star stays true to his wacko brand in HBO’s “The Chair Company.”

"The Woman in Cabin 10" is a wannabe Agatha Christie whodunit with all the grace and cunning of an anvil to the head.
Agatha Christie Is Rolling in Her Grave Over This New Film
Keira Knightley stars in “The Woman in Cabin 10,” a Netflix whodunnit that even mystery obsessives will groan over.

"Tron: Ares" makes up for its perfunctory story with lots of striking electro-razzle-dazzle and a thunderous NIN soundtrack (and, also, glorious Jared Leto hair).
New ‘Tron’ Is a Feast of Electric CGI and Jared Leto’s Hair
The latest in the sci-fi franchise, “Tron: Ares” at least gives you a lot to look at.

"Father Mother Sister Brother" (at @TheNYFF) is a Jim Jarmusch film of quiet, droll grace, even if its delicateness occasionally veers into slightness.
Cate Blanchett and Adam Driver Deal With Family Dysfunction
They star in the fall film festival favorite “Father Mother Sister Brother.”

“V/H/S/Halloween” is predictably uneven, but like its franchise predecessors, it boasts enough memorable installments (and unholy sights) to make it a seasonal horror treat.
