Karla Sofía Gascón, the Spanish star of “Emilia Perez," was called out for offensive tweets from as recently as four years ago.

To watch “Opus,” the muddled semi-satire starring Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, is to witness a movie go from promising to punishing.

This sublime and human comedy, starring Carey Mulligan, Tom Basden and the wonderful Tim Key, is anything but kooky or overblown. I adored every second of it.
