Take two weekend preview: Deadline critics of glasui, dedication and the boy

Editor’s note: Deadline presents the 41st episode of its video series Second try, in which Pete Hammond and Todd McCarthy explore the artistry of movies that hit theaters every weekend. Each has spent decades reviewing and writing about the craft, and has built up a remarkably broad knowledge of films past and present. When we asked them, we were hoping for a concise, mature and thoughtful conversation similar to what we saw from Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel.

Just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, moviegoers have a wide variety of movies to choose from, and we’re trying to point you in the right direction with three movies that couldn’t be more different. We’ll look at Netflix first Glass Onion: A Mystery of Blades is making its own story this week as it becomes the first Netflix film to hit hundreds of screens at each of the three major exhibition chains, AMC, Regal and Cinemark. It’s only for a week, then the film goes dark until it streams on Netflix on December 23rd. knife out we also go into the release strategy point by point.

Then it goes to Sony mission which is about Korean War Navy fighter pilots and stars Glen Powell, who you may remember from another film that looks very similar, Top Gun: Maverick Earlier in the year, which became the highest grossing movie of the year. We are ready to bet mission I will be happy about a part of the payment campaign That tremendous blow. But rather than compare them, let’s point out what sets them apart, specifically Jonathan Majors’ other lead role (check out Pete’s interview with him actor’s side) as the first pilot of the Black Navy the highly decorated Jesse Brown.

Finally, we have a split verdict on writer/director Florian Zeller The son, the second in a trilogy of mental health films (the first The father was nominated for 6 Oscars and won two for star Anthony Hopkins and Zeller’s adapted screenplay). It stars Hugh Jackman, Laura Dern, Zen McGrath and Vanessa Kirby (with another brief but penetrating role for Hopkins, but a far cry from his demented character). The father). Find out what we have to say and why we agree to disagree.
