Here’s where and when The Fall Guy will be available at home in the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, and New Zealand.
The Fall Guy post-credits scene, explained
It’s essentially an Easter egg that links to the original ‘80s TV series that inspired the movie.
The Fall Guy review: Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are dreamy
Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt’s chemistry takes the roof off director David Leitch’s new film—his best so far.
Challengers ending, explained
Zendaya’s Challengers ends with Art and Patrick hugging each other at the net as Tashi cheers them on. Who won? What’s the meaning?
Challengers review: ace
With Zendaya leading a stellar trio, director Luca Guadagnino concocts a heady mix of jealousy, ambition, and attraction. It’s terrific.

Rebel Moon Part 2 review: sloppy, horrid, and unimaginative
Zack Snyder’s Netflix sequel is an overlong epilogue that ought to have been the third act of the first part.
All 11 Zack Snyder movies, ranked
Rotten Tomatoes-certified critic Akhil Arora ranks all films directed by Zack Snyder, from Dawn of the Dead to Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver. Arora praises Snyder’s unique style of framing action, while critiquing literally everything else about his movies.
Amar Singh Chamkila review: a disorderly protest
Imtiaz Ali’s call for artistic freedom—and the price you must be willing to pay—doesn’t always have the power or focus it needs.
Every Indian Netflix original movie, ranked
From Amar Singh Chamkila to Darlings, and from Thar to Khufiya, film critic Akhil Arora ranks every Indian Netflix original movie ever made.
Damsel review: Millie Bobby Brown-led Netflix movie is in distress
Even a giant talking dragon—voiced by the always wonderful Shohreh Aghdashloo—can’t save this feminist fantasy survival thriller.
Bhakshak review: all posturing, no heft
Inspired by true events, the Bhumi Pednekar-led Netflix film has little interest in the vitality of local journalism and frequently resorts to grandstanding dialogues.
Kho Gaye Hum Kahan review: lost in the malaise
The new Indian Netflix movie about the ennui of the digital age is wayward, just like its characters.
The Archies review: cotton candy
Zoya Akhtar’s Indian take on Riverdale, with Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, and Agastya Nanda, is a soft serve.
Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, ranked
From Iron Man to The Marvels, Rotten Tomatoes-certified film critic Akhil Arora ranks all 33 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.
The Marvels review: too lightweight
The sequel to Captain Marvel, with Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani, is fun in spurts but never the film it needs to be.

Khufiya review: the exact opposite of a spy thriller
The new Netflix movie—with Tabu, Ali Fazal, and Wamiqa Gabbi—is an overlong slog.
Jaane Jaan review: Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma thrill in solid Netflix movie
Kareena Kapoor Khan is the least interesting element in Sujoy Ghosh’s new Netflix movie, his most mature work yet.
Jawan review: two Shah Rukh Khans, too many PSAs
Khan’s movie-star charisma is doomed by Atlee’s didactic writing and direction.
Heart of Stone review: new Mission: Impossible? Not even close
Netflix’s second attempt at an action franchise with Gal Gadot is marginally better than the first.
Barbie review: literal feminist fable
Greta Gerwig expertly and hilariously sketches out the problems with our male-dominated world—but with zero subtlety. Akhil Arora, a member […]
Oppenheimer review: Nolan goes nuclear
Part thriller and part character study, Christopher Nolan’s biopic of the father of the atomic bomb is his most political movie yet.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning review: you can bet on Tom Cruise
No better duo than Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie when it comes to action blockbuster filmmaking in Hollywood today.
The Flash review: best DC universe movie since Wonder Woman
The utterly joyous first half is doomed by a third act full of multiversal shenanigans.
Extraction 2 review: rinse and repeat, warts and all
Chris Hemsworth-led Netflix sequel is bigger and more personal—but it fails to be any better.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse review: brilliant but botched
The sequel to the Oscar-winning original is mature, wilder, and more ambitious—but it’s ultimately one half of a movie.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 review: end of an era
James Gunn is hooked on a feeling—but his overstuffed movie occasionally gets out of hand.
Peter Pan & Wendy review: needs a lot more pixie dust
Another instantly-forgettable Disney live-action remake—I never want to revisit this Neverland.
Ghosted review: Ana de Armas and Chris Evans’ charm can’t rescue this spy rom-com
Apple’s first mainstream action film is flat, lazily written, and instantly forgettable.
Murder Mystery 2 review: Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler deliver utter garbage
A murder mystery comedy of the lowest possible denominator.
John Wick 4 review: Keanu Reeves’ final hitman run is too much
The incredible, intense, and innovative action is ultimately overwhelming, overdrawn, and results in an overlong movie.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods review: surrenders to mediocrity
The unwieldy Shazam sequel looks terrible, lacks the original’s freshness, and struggles with its extended cast. Lightning doesn’t strike twice, it seems.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania review: unreal
Ant-Man 3 lays the foundation for the end of MCU’s Multiverse Saga, but the Marvel movie suffers on nearly every front, save for Jonathan Majors.
Mulan review: Disney movie is not bold—or smart—enough
It panders too much to Chinese interests, and squanders the potential it had. Akhil Arora, a member of the Film […]
