Frances Ha review: girl uninterrupted
Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig have carved out, with effortless elegance and ease, a cinematic space for a woman to be, unapologetically, herself.

The Internship review: triumph of the shill
Is it supposed to be flattering to Google that two idiots bullshit their way into a highly competitive internship, even though they know nothing about computers, or the Internet, or programming?
Despicable Me 2 review: a little bit despicable itself
In an almost terrifying reversal from the first film, this is crude, racist, and sexist, in entirely well-worn ways. (But the Minions are still funny.)
Monsters University review: back of the class
Monsters, Inc. was in no way calling for a sequel, and here it is. (new DVD/VOD US/Can)
Much Ado About Nothing review: I didst fall in love
Pure, unalloyed, rollicking cinematic joy. Brings the romantic comedy as a genre into a realm of fantasy and poetry and fun and laughter.
This Is The End review: supergood
I died laughing… and I’ve found a new respect for a Hollywood posse whose work I mostly haven’t enjoyed before.
Populaire review: just your type
Ridiculously charming as it spins a deliciously retro kitsch magic. (new DVD/VOD UK)
The Hangover Part III review: get pissed
It’s like they realized they never should have made a sequel, so for Part III, they didn’t even bother to make a Hangover movie at all…
there’s no way Almodóvar can land this plane (I’m So Excited! review)
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
Identity Thief (review)
There’s a bone-deep heartless cruelty at play here…
