If you cook the bird, we'll bring the sides for you on this Thanksgiving Week episode of Breakfast All Day. Here are the big movies coming out that we reviewed:
-
WAKE UP DEAD MAN. The third movie in Rian Johnson's "Knives Out" series has more on its mind than its predecessors. But the latest murder mystery is just as fun in its twists and turns, and it features yet another delightful performance from Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc. This is a non-spoiler review, because as always, the less you know the better. In select theaters Nov. 26 before streaming on Netflix Dec. 12.
-
HAMNET. A major awards contender with a ton of hype, but our review isn't quite so fawning. Director and co-writer Chloé Zhao's film is inspired by the true story of William Shakespeare and his wife as they deal with the devastation of losing their son, Hamnet, at age 11. Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley co-star. In select theaters Nov. 26 before expanding Dec. 5.

REBUILDING. It's Josh O'Connor Week (he's also in "Wake Up Dead Man"), which is just fine with us. Here he stars as a cowboy struggling to put his life back together after a wildfire ravages his Colorado ranch. This is a quietly moving indie gem that we both loved. Lily LaTorre is excellent as his young daughter. Find out here if it's playing hear you: https://bleeckerstreetmedia.com/rebuilding
