Which Movies to Watch This Weekend

All the Money in the World: A first-rate thriller from Ridley Scott, about the Getty kidnapping in 1973, the film is highlighted by terrific performances from Michelle Williams as the victim’s mother and Christopher Plummer (a last-minute reshot substitution for Kevin Spacey) as the tightwad billionaire, J. Paul Getty. Rated R. 132 minutes. — Mick LaSalle Call Me by Your Name: This is an emphatic celebration of the mystery and power of sexuality, set in a small Italian town, where the sun, the water and the surrounding beauty reinforce lust and longing. Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer are superb in the central roles, and despite an unignorable bathetic turn in the supporting performances, this is an important film. Rated R. 132 minutes. — Mick LaSalle Faces Places: This may be the final film of Agnes Varda, one of the last surviving members of the French New Wave. It documents her tour of small and rural French towns in the company of a much younger artist (she’s 89), named JR, during which they photographed working-class people and posted huge, blown-up images of them on local structures. It’s good to spend time with Varda, Rated PG. 89 minutes. In French with English subtitles. — Walter Addiego Ferdinand: There’s real artistry to this delightful — if slightly over-packed — animated adaptation of Munro Leaf ’s 1936 children’s tale “The Story of Ferdinand,” about a bull more prone to smelling flowers than fighting. The voice acting and visuals are spot-on, and director Carlos Saldanha and the screenwriters impart the brutality of bullfighting without becoming too intense for a PG-rated film. Rated PG. 108 minutes. — Carla Meyer
