Is there anything Elizabeth Banks can’t do? She’s a game show host (“Press Your Luck”). She’s a director (“Cocaine Bear” and “Pitch Perfect 2”). She’s a comedic actor (“30 Rock” and “Modern Family”) who is also comfortable doing dramatic work (“Love and Mercy” and “Brightburn”).

Under strict orders from the studio not to reveal any spoilers (we don’t want to piss off Jeff Bezos or the ghost of Louis B. Mayer now, do we?), makes writing a review of “Blink Twice” (Amazon/MGM), Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut a bit of a challenge, but I’ll give it my all.

Recipient of the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award at Sundance in 2024, Sean Wang’s feature film debut, “Dìdi” (Focus), is one of the best movies of the year by far. The only thing preventing it from getting an A rating from me is the excessive use of homophobic language.
