Your favorite criminal superheroes are back on Breakfast All Day. This week, we review James Gunn’s gory extravaganza “The Suicide Squad,” Leos Carax’s musical fantasia “Annette,” the Netflix documentary “Pray Away,” and the animated “Vivo,” in case you haven’t had enough Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Read moreRogerEbert.com — Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway
By indulging in the exact same instincts it insists are problematic artistically, “Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway” wants to have its carrot and eat it too.

The whole cast is tremendous, but Charlize Theron is especially a standout,...

It’s a hot August night in July with Quentin Tarantino’s love letter to 1969 Los Angeles, “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.” Alonso, Matt and I naturally have lots of thoughts on the latest Breakfast All Day — Tarantino never inspires shrugs or middle-of-the road takes — and we...
