Even Hitler (Ulrich Matthes, Goebbels in Downfall) is a novel take - not a stale cliché but a canny operator. But it holds your interest, and it’s original. It’s a smart, uneven spy drama with oodles of historical atmosphere, good tense moments, and foregone-conclusion problems. Jeremy Irons (73) is marvelous as this revisionist Chamberlain, but the film’s heroes are fictional: his secretary Hugh (George MacKay) and Hugh’s best friend from Oxford (Jannis Niewöhner), now a German diplomat plotting to get war-averse German generals to stop Hitler. In this good old-fashioned film by The Crown director Christian Schwochow, Chamberlain knows he’s playing poker with a gangster but wants to prevent the war that was to kill 3 percent of the people on Earth, or buy time to beef up Britain’s armed forces (he did). Neville Chamberlain is usually portrayed as the British prime minister Hitler suckered by promising in 1938 not to invade Europe. Watch it: The Worst Person in the World, in theaters Now if only I could get my 22-year-old to watch it! -Thelma M. She discovers, like so many of us, that her mistakes define her as much as her successes. Empathetic director Joaquim Trier (Thelma) observes as Laura burns through a number of career and romantic identities while finally finding her feet in the world. Then she turns to a nice, unchallenging guy (Herbert Nordrum) that she meets while crashing a wedding reception. She launches a passionate affair with an ambitious older cartoonist ( Bergman Island’s Anders Danielsen Lie) despite his warning after their first hookup that their love is bound to fail.

The movie follows the educated Laura (Cannes festival best-actress winner Renate Reinsve) over four critical years as she rounds 30. Perfectionism isn’t all that in this wry, wise, beautifully acted contemporary drama, a Norwegian Oscar hopeful that I repeatedly recommend to parents of daughters. Don’t miss this: The Ultimate Agatha Christie Movie Watchlist to Get You Through the Winter
Here his droll take on an OCD Poirot gets a huge romantic reason for his outlandish mustache. Like an old-time actor-manager, Branagh tosses grand gestures and juicy bits to all, himself included. The actors hold the screen even when giant statues of Ramses II tower over them. The “go big or go home” ensemble is led by Sophie Okonedo and Letitia Wright as a jazz-blues singer and her niece. It’s an opulent, erratic but irresistible version of Agatha Christie’s 1937 novel about a homicidal triangle: an heiress (Gal Gadot), her husband (Armie Hammer) and her former friend and his ex-lover (Emma Mackey). In his second Hercule Poirot mystery (after 2017’s tepid $353 million hit Murder on the Orient Express), director and star Kenneth Branagh resembles the wide-eyed film fanboy in his Oscar-nominated Belfast, swept up by exhilarating big-studio escapism.
