At its fullest and best, Judd Apatow’s newest dramedy is a collection of half-hearted beats and half-witted mischief. That’s it. Just half. Review
The way these writers and filmmakers can capture honest and domestic soul and vitality in such contained bursts is really something. Review
Between the look, feel, and stunning execution of this narrative enigma, it all adds up, again, to tingles from a magnificent genuflection to so many genre inspirations. Review
The two lead actors accomplish the ever-present anguish wonderfully and honestly. Review
Every time they step forward, the movie shines. Instead, their wattage is filtered through milquetoast tropes of stepping stone laments, sell-out pushback, forced romances, career lies, and small-world bow-tying conveniences you’ve seen too many times and in better places. Review
Beyond the dialogue, those writers and The Big Sick director Michael Showalter assembled a semi-crafty plot course that is far from predictable and does not entirely wear out its freshness or welcome in a tidy 86 minutes. Far less and far worse has been slapped together for date night couch watch. Review
The movie doesn’t have one and the canyon-sized narrative hole because of it leaves us more perplexed than satisfied with a shoulder shrug and a chin rub of our own (emoji optional). Review
Tom Hardy sweats, seethes, and pants with a performance of pain that has to be seen to be believed. Review
Whether it’s Duke and co-writer Andrew Boonkrong, the source material, or both, this movie wavers wildly in tone and purpose. What could have been a menacing mystery ends up being little better than a quirky pickle or two. Review
Gerety brings a remarkable level of affecting introvertedness to this damaged leading role. Contrary to his career gilded by a brand of explosive boisterousness, the actor uses massive presence and body language to fill the drama of Working Man. Review
Reaching those bold heights of bracing social commentary, it is fair and complimentary to call Joe Robert Cole’s movie more important than entertaining. Review
Real fights cause real wounds, and no one’s safety is assured. That’s a rugged quality for Hemsworth and company better than most glamour projects. Review
Without some of that enveloping weight, all this amounts to is an abridged and radical folk tale without the proper embellishment. Review
Shailene has the uncanny ability of balancing bruised burdens with infinitely levitating allure. She’s the reason to see this movie. Review
Like a good sequel should, Trolls World Tour elevates stakes with its ambitious amusement to become an even bigger compilation tape than it already was. Review
He took the French’s concept and the ironic tropes of movie weddings and bent enough kinks to make something devilishly delightful. Review
Filled with dumbfounded narrative and creative choices, fake trauma, and forgotten consequences, he ain’t kidding. Pass the bullet and the remote. Review
No amount of razzle-dazzle filling eyes and ears can cover up the glaring examples of questionable creativity and incomplete development enacted by Abrams and lead screenwriter Chris Terrio. Review
This is a good single spin with an intriguing premise, but not a re-watch contender that calls us to circle back with desire or fixation. Review
Verchere and VanderWaal exudes comfortable chemistry that is not over-spiked. Review
Onward elevates from fantasy tomfoolery into a touching story of siblings and parents. Review
If the proper swell and inspiration of the Mike Burden story is his recovery and rebirth, Heckler’s movie takes far too long to get to that peak. Review
The Night Clerk is missing some of that possible pulp and edginess to really widen our eyes and drop our jaws. Instead, it takes on the calculated challenge of weaving a layer of empathy for the main character to override the egregious errors of consent. In doing so, the movie feigns sophistication when it really doesn’t exude it. Review
