I can't be the first person to endorse the double feature of "The Substance" and "A Different Man." Very different films but they share some strands of thematic DNA.

The Wild Robot was likely my favorite film of the year. My daughter and I love the book series and I knew it would be good on screen. But I was blown away. I was truly moved. This film is a work of art in every way.
