The Woman In Black
** The Woman in Black How frustrating to be Daniel Radcliffe. One movie after Harry Potter vanquished Voldemort, and it’s like he’s anticipating having to do it all over again. Here he is in this blah ghost story searching a big, dreary house for the source of off-screen sound effects. Radcliffe has an exuberant side, and some of us are getting desperate to see it. (95 min., PG-13) (Wesley Morris)
The Innkeepers
*½ The Innkeepers One problem with a movie devoted to the boredom of two hotel employees is that it risks contagion. Here the employees - played by Sara Paxton and Pat Healy - might be involved in a ghost story. They’re certainly starting in a very dull CW drama. Written and directed by Ti West. With a small, thankless role for Kelly McGillis. (106 min., R) (Wesley Morris)
A Separation
**** A Separation A superb work of realism by Asghar Farhadi about a youngish middle-class Iranian woman (Leila Hatami) who leaves her husband (Peyman Moaadi), putting his sick father and their studious and astute 11-year-old daughter (Sarina Farhadi) in the uncertain middle. The request for a divorce sets in motion a chain of small domestic events whose dismaying implications accrue. In Farsi, with English subtitles. (123 min., PG-13) (Wesley Morris)
The Grey
** The Grey It’s cheap the way this movie wants to be both a Liam Neeson “Quit Taking My Stuff’’ movie and an existential thriller about survival. We’ve come to see Neeson danse-macabre with wolves. Instead, we get a lot scenes of men being sad that they have no idea where they are and that there are no women to have sex with. Those moments aren’t bad, but they’re not enough, either. (117 min., R) (Wesley Morris)
Man on a Ledge
*1/2 Man on a Ledge People cheer the plot twists in this lousy movie about a fugitive (Sam Worthington) threatening to jump off a building. None of the actors has anything to do. You could cast this movie with potato chips and still get cheers when one of the bad guys is cuffed. With potato chips, you understand. With Elizabeth Banks, Jamie Bell, and Ed Harris. (102 min., PG-13) (Wesley Morris)

Janie Jones
Deserted by her drug-addicted mom (Elisabeth Shue) -- a former groupie -- in the middle of a rock concert, 13-year-old Janie (Abigail Breslin) drastically alters the course of her life when she announces to the band's temperamental singer (Alessandro Nivola) that she's his daughter. Although they've never met before, father and daughter go on the road together, eventually bonding over music and more.
The Mill & The Cross
Flemish master Pieter Bruegel's 1564 painting &NFi;The Procession to Cavalry&NFi_; is transformed through amazing special effects into a big-screen epic starring Rutger Hauer as Bruegel, whose artwork affects everyone around him, including the Virgin Mary (Charlotte Rampling). While explaining his depiction of Christ's passion to art collector Nicholas Jonghelinck (Michael York), Bruegel is also confronted by the atrocities of invading Spanish forces.
