The most anticipated movies of 2022

in the central role. She plays a
new mother who bonds with a
young woman she meets at the
hospital where they both gave
birth — but the story soon takes
an unsettling turn. Cruz always
makes magic for Almodovar’s
camera; their collaboration now
goes back 25 years, to 1997’s
“Live Flesh.”

we can hit the multiplexes
without masks? In the mean-
time, here are some cinematic
off erings in the new year that
might make it worth heading to
the theaters. Dates are, perhaps
more than ever in this still-
pandemicked world, subject to
change; streaming dates, where

announced.
‘THE OUTFIT’
‘PARALLEL MOTHERS’
Now in theaters (limited
release)
This one, directed by Pedro

vampire dude to me) in the title
role, along with Zoe Kravitz as
Selina Kyle/Catwoman (now
that’s a promising bit of cast-
ing), Jeff rey Wright as Commis-
sioner Gordon, Paul Dano as the
Riddler and Colin Farrell as the

‘DOWNTON ABBEY: A

March 18
Plot information on this
movie is scarce, but we can

didn’t they say that on practi-

Mary will say some delightfully
caustic things, that Carson will
fret over These Modern Times,
that Lady Edith will have a crisis
and that excellent hats will be
worn. I’m there.
