(Updated 10/03/2022)
Summer is great but we love when the air cools, the leaves start to change, and the movies get a bit more serious. The big fall film festivals in Venice, Telluride and Toronto offer early looks at movies that we'll see through the beginning of the year, and we don't have to wait long for many of them — there are new movies from Walt Disney Animation and big directors like Steven Spielberg, David O. Russell, and Luca Guadagnino.
Many of the movies coming out this fall will be a big part of the awards season conversation that runs through the end of the winter. More importantly, they offer something for just about every taste.
Must-See Fall Movies in 2022
Moonage Daydream
This documentary about David Bowie is an experience more than a conventional talking-heads account of the singer's life and work. It's a mesmerizing, immersive look at everything that Bowie created. Read more about MOONAGE DAYDREAM here. [Now Playing]
The Woman King
Viola Davis stars in a Read more about THE WOMAN KING here. [Now Playing]
Amsterdam
It's a murder conspiracy caper set in the 1930s with Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoe Saldaña, Mike Myers, Michael Shannon, Timothy Olyphant, Andrea Riseborough, Taylor Swift, Rami Malek, and Robert De Niro. Read more about AMSTERDAM here.
TÁR
Cate Blanchett stars as an ultra-talented composer and conductor whose life falls apart, possibly due to her own mistakes. TÁR comes from writer/director Todd Field, and it's his first movie in more than 15 years. Blanchett's work ensures that she'll be in the mix come Oscar time next year. Read more about TÁR here.
Till
The murder of Emmett Till is the event around which this movie turns, but TILL is really concerned with the crime's effect on Till's mother (Danielle Deadwyler) and family — and, as his killers are put on trial — the community and society at large. Read more about TILL here.
The Banshees of Inisherin
Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, who were so perfectly matched in IN BRUGES, reunite to play friends whose relationship has curdled. When these two actors get to play out a verbally dextrous and bitter battle — engineered by writer/director Martin McDonagh — it doesn't even matter why. Read more about The Banshees of Inisherin here.
Black Adam
Dwayne Johnson's dream of playing an ultra-powerful DC superhero finally comes true. The actor has been angling to play Shazam's old nemesis ever since his big-screen career really took off, so we hope his brand of superhero spectacle has been worth the wait. Read more about BLACK ADAM here.
Armageddon Time
Director James Gray (AD ASTRA, THE LOST CITY OF Z) returns with a story that explores the strength of family, the complexity of friendship, and the generational pursuit of the American Dream. Anthony Hopkins, Anne Hathaway, and Jeremy Strong lead the cast.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
As Wakanda grieves the loss of T'Challa, a new threat emerges from the sea. Namor, the powerful Prince of Talocan, has his eye on Wakanda, and he's got an army to back him up. Read more about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever here.
The Fabelmans
Steven Spielberg fictionalizes his own childhood and entry into filmmaking in a story that brings all his emotional filmmaking powers to bear. With a cast that includes Michelle Williams and Paul Dano — and even filmmaker David Lynch in a minor role — this might be the ultimate movie origin story. Read more about The Fabelmans here.
She Said
The real-world story behind the reporting of Harvey Weinstein's history of sexual assault is told in this movie based on the book by New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor. Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan star as Twohey and Kantor. Read more about SHE SAID here.
Bones and All
Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell play young cannibals in love in this Regan-era road trip movie based on the savage novel by Camille DeAngelis. Luca Guadagnino, who created the wildly freaky SUSPIRIA remake, directs — and it seems like his new movie does not shrink from the darkest aspects of the novel. Read more about BONES AND ALL here.
Strange World
Disney's new animated feature channels the spirit of vintage pulp science fiction to create the tale of a family of explorers adventuring on a far-off planet populated by beautiful and unusual plants and creatures. Read more about STRANGE WORLD here.
