How the White Savior Became This Year’s Cinematic Punchline Several of this year's notable movies, including, One Battle After Another, Eddington, and The Mastermind humorously critique the political role of white men.

For TIME I went long on the bumbling white men at the heart of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, EDDINGTON, and THE MASTERMIND.

"kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out"

is a modern version of a medieval battle cry,

originating from a legate named Arnaud Amalric

supposedly said the Latin phrase

Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius

("Kill them. For the Lord knows who are His.")

during the Albigensian Crusade.

'Reflection in a Dead Diamond' Is the Aged James Bond Movie You've Been Waiting For An exquisite homage to 007 and spy films from our most ambitious filmmaking duo.

Reflection in a Dead Diamond isn't just the best Bond movie in ages, the best Diabolik adaptation in recent years, and the best Cattet & Forzani picture yet, but also straight up one of the best films of the year. Loved it and wrote about it this week.
