based on a terrible true story (Our Children review)
Harrowing and unsettling…
reviews by year
feel the rush of endorkins (Star Trek Into Darkness review)
A Star Trek for our times. Very much for our times. Which means there’s little hope to be found here…
monkey in the middle (Chimpanzee review)
Cuteness proximity alert! Cuteness proximity alert!
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.
Michael Shannon will cut you up (The Iceman review)
Though based on copious interviews mob killer Richard Kuklinski gave from prison, this barely broaches the great mystery of his life…
making sitcom lemonade (Love Is All You Need review)
What starts out as conventional dramedy becomes a charming, wise story about making the most of whatever life throws at you…
porn again? (The Look of Love review)
It’s a puzzlement. How did Michael Winterbottom make a film this tediously conservative?
what Tony Stark needs most is a hug (Iron Man 3 review)
“I am Iron Man.” When Tony repeats that line here, it’s newly thrilling, and far more intriguing than it previously was.
feel-goodest movie ever (The Sapphires review)
You’ve seen this story before, but never pulled off with so much joie de vivre.
Oblivion movie review: Jetsons parody or Ikea commercial?
Postcard-pretty, unusual for a science fiction flick, but shockingly derivative.
