'The Queen's Gambit' doesn't make all the right moves, but Anya Taylor-Joy does
If Anya Taylor-Joy is on the cusp of major stardom -- with a "Mad Max" prequel in her future, and "The New Mutants" and "Emma" in her recent past -- "The Queen's Gambit" should advance her several moves ahead. The tale of a troubled chess prodigy, Taylor-Joy's magnetic presence is enough reason to watch this handsome Netflix limited series, even if the seven-part production gets dragged out about three episodes too long.
'The Witches' brews up a weak remake of Roald Dahl's dark story
"The Witches" serves up a strange brew that doesn't work, but it's mildly fascinating for the reasons why, from the people responsible for making it to contrasting this movie with the graphic novel and 1990 film based on Roald Dahl's dark children's tale. The Warner Bros. release has been swept over to stream on HBO Max, which is probably where it rightfully belongs.

'Borat' sequel somehow still manages to serve up audacious surprises
Like any sequel, "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" faces the challenge of what to do for an encore, 14 years and a big box-office haul later. Somehow, though, Sacha Baron Cohen hasn't lost the power to deliver audacious surprises, with enough explosive, not-suitable-for-anywhere laughs to power through the flatter patches this sort of exercise inevitably yields.

'Rebecca' offers a pretty but uninspired remake of the Hitchcock classic
The scenery is spectacular in "Rebecca," and that's not even counting stars Lily James and Armie Hammer. Yet this faithful, pretty-but-uninspired adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier's novel doesn't breathe fresh life into the classic, much less eclipse the 1940 Laurence Olivier-Joan Fontaine version that garnered Alfred Hitchcock's lone best-picture Oscar.
'537 Votes' revisits Florida election chaos in 2000 as a prelude to 2020
The timing of "537 Votes" isn't subtle, focusing on election chaos and chicanery surrounding the 2000 Florida recount weeks before concerns about a repeat two decades later. The HBO documentary, however, provides a contextual, nuanced view -- rooted in the controversy over Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez -- while painting a colorful portrait of the ensuing battle, when the Democrats brought the equivalent of a strongly worded letter to a knife fight.

Broadway comes to TV with 'American Utopia' and 'What the Constitution Means to Me'
With Broadway marquees dark, this weekend brings a welcome double dose of the New York stage to TV screens: "American Utopia," David Byrne's free-spirited concert, directed by Spike Lee for HBO; and "What the Constitution Means to Me," Heidi Schreck's not-quite one-woman show, a searing political commentary that finds an at-home forum via Amazon.
