What the heck is this? Some sort of meninist political statement attempting to vindicate male anger? In a kids’ movie? Maybe men shouldn’t make movies…
A tired old piece of action junk that expects us to sympathize with a very bad man. We don’t.
A cheery, airy fairy tale filled with a very modern ache and buoyed by an infectious joy. I love this movie.
Gangster Squad! In color! This is blustery postwar mythologizing about the violent birth of the modern metropolis, all pulpy-bright even when it’s night…

Lots of love for The Social Network, Black Swan, and The Kids Are All Right…
