Similarly, we don’t know all that much about several of the films that will hit late in 2024 and be part of the Academy […]](https://www.morningjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/TNH-L-Movies-24for24-012124-08-2.jpg?w=68 "Another year.

![Anthony Hopkins appears to be having a blast portraying Dr. Sigmund Freud in “Freud’s Last Session.” In select theaters this week, the film sees the wonderful, Academy Award-winning actor as an at times gleeful and borderline-mischievous version of the famed Austrian neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis as he maneuvers around his London home, debating the existence of God, the human condition and more with an invited guest: C.S. Lewis (Matthew Goode), a don at the University of Oxford and the future author of “The Chronicles of Narnia.” “Freud’s Last Session” is written and directed by Matthew Brown, who adapted it […]](https://www.morningjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/TNH-L-FilmReview-FreudsLastSession-WBOX-011924-03-1.jpg?w=140 "Anthony Hopkins appears to be having a blast portraying Dr. Sigmund Freud in “Freud’s Last Session.” In select theaters this week, the film sees the wonderful, Academy Award-winning actor as an at times gleeful and borderline-mischievous version of the famed Austrian neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis as he maneuvers around his London home, debating the existence of God, the human condition and more with an invited guest: C.S.

‘The Zone of Interest’ review: In this unforgettable Holocaust film, life outside of Auschwitz is devastatingly normal
“The Zone of Interest” takes enormous chances without enormous dramatic machinery.
![For his debut as a filmmaker, Daniel Kaluuya has cooked up something fairly intriguing in “The Kitchen.” Best known as the star of films such as the Jordan Peele-directed critical faves “Get Out” (2017) and “Nope” (2022), Kaluuya co-directed the commentary-filled science-fiction drama with Kibwe Tavares and co-wrote it with Rob Hayes and Joe Murtagh. “The Kitchen” — a British film debuting in the United States this week on Netflix — is set in a near-future London in which public housing has been abolished and police force residents to abandon their homes.
