Daniel Craig reprises his role as detective Benoit Blanc in this brilliant follow-up to 2019’s phenomenal whodunnit, Knives Out. Writer-director Rian Johnson crafts a fiendishly sharp new case for “The Last of the Gentlemen Sleuths,” taking Blanc to a Greek island getaway for a reclusive tech billionaire and his collection of friends and hangers-on, where a planned murder mystery weekend takes a deadly literal turn. While totally accessible for newcomers, fans of the first film will also be rewarded with some deeper character development for Blanc, a role that’s shaping up to be as iconic for Craig as 007. As cleverly written and meticulously constructed as its predecessor, and featuring the kind of all-star cast—Edward Norton! Janelle Monáe! Kathryn Hahn! Leslie Odom Jr.! Jessica Henwick! Madelyn Cline! Kate Hudson! Dave Bautista!—that cinema dreams are made of, Glass Onion might be the best thing Netflix has dropped all year.

The modern master of the macabre brings the famous wooden would-be boy to life like never before in this exquisitely animated take on Pinocchio. While this stop-motion masterpiece mostly hews closer to the original 1880s tale by Carlo Collodi, rather than the sanitized Disney version, del Toro adds his own signature touch and compelling twists to the classic story that make it darkly enchanting. Expect a Blue Fairy closer to a Biblically-accurate many-eyed angel, a Terrible Dogfish more like a kaiju, and complex themes of mortality that will leave audiences old and young thinking about it for days after the credits roll. Perfect for fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas or Coraline, and likely to be discussed in the same breath as them for years to come.

Florence Pugh dazzles in this not-quite-horror film from Oscar-winning director Sebastián Lelio. Set in 1862, English nurse Lib Wright (Pugh) is sent to Ireland to observe Anna O’Donnell, a girl who claims to have not eaten in four months, subsisting instead on “manna from heaven.” Still grieving the loss of her own child, Lib is torn between investigating the medical impossibility and growing concern for Anna herself. Facing obstacles in the form of Anna’s deeply religious family and a local community that distrusts her, Lib’s watch descends into a tense, terrifying experience. Based on the book of the same name by Emma Donoghue, The Wonder is a beautiful yet bleakly shot period piece that explores the all too mortal horrors that unquestioning religious fervor and family secrets can wreak.

When spoiled Jesper Johansson is charged by his father, the powerful Postmaster General, with setting up a new post office in the isolated town of Smeerensburg, it seems an impossible task. With the strange town divided between two warring clans, the only thing the residents are likely to send each other is a frosty glare. Yet after Jesper crosses paths with surly woodsman Klaus, who has spent a lifetime carving toys, he stumbles on a way to potentially bring the town together—and starts a tradition in the process. While Christmas films delving into the origins of Santa are usually saccharine dives into schmaltzy sentimentality, Klaus offers a slightly darker take, from the murky, decrepit setting that evokes the indefinable discomfort of A Series of Unfortunate Events to its version of the jolly gift-giver starting out as an imposing, intimidating figure—all of which, naturally, makes it even more captivating for kids than your typically cheery festive pabulum. A BAFTA and Annie Award winner, this beautifully animated film delivers plenty of heart along with its more mature tone, making this almost otherworldly tale a modern Christmas miracle.

Kosuke and Natsume are childhood friends whose relationship is strained as they approach their teenage years. When the apartment complex where they first met is scheduled for demolition, they sneak in one last time, looking for some emotional closure. Instead, they and the friends who joined them find themselves trapped by torrential rain. After the mysterious storm passes, the world is changed, with the entire building floating on an ethereal sea, and a new child in their midst.
