Critics Consensus

Paddington 2 Is Certified Fresh

Plus, The Post is also Certified Fresh, The Commuter is undemanding action, and Proud Mary wasn't screened for critics.


This weekend at the movies, we have a Certified Fresh talking bear (Paddington 2, starring Ben Whishaw and Hugh Grant), an all-star salute to high-stakes journalism (The Post, starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep), Liam Neeson‘s long, violent ride home (The Commuter, co-starring Vera Farmiga), and an assassin with a pint-sized problem (Proud Mary, starring Taraji P. Henson). What are the critics saying?
