It’s strangely moving, and a joyous examination of a father/daughter relationship, but it’s ultimately too ambiguous and ephemeral to be game-changing or unforgettable. Review
The Whale is quite the experiment in misery porn; it’s hard to watch yet impossible to turn away from. Equal parts heartbreaking, frustrating, disturbing, and mesmerizing, it’s a monumental character study of so many damaged souls, struggling to find meaning or salvation. Review
This is a dragging, one-man show, featuring only a couple of other actors with any notable dialogue, and devoid of a love interest or any sort of consequential conflicts. Review
The hand-to-hand combat is engaging, while the dialogue is hilarious; it’s all quite cheesy, but in a fun, big-budget way, especially as countless yuletide tropes are sent up and ridiculed. Review
Sadly, the cleverness of the original setup is no longer as beguiling or unique, forcing the picture to dwell on the repetition of magic-infused quarreling and combat, and to bank on an overly easy resolution conjured not from felicitous rules but from the convenience and need to wrap things up neatly. Review
In the end, it’s intermittently sweet and nostalgic, but peculiarly insignificant. Review
There may be important – and obvious – messages in this film, but the execution is simply dreadful. Review
But dull moments aren’t the issue; this is the kind of production in which audiences must simply wait for the abundance of loathsome personas to destroy themselves – a journey with a certain predictability and dourness and futility, even if it’s routinely smart and funny. Nevertheless, the scripting is superb – a masterfully caustic examination of medieval politics and familial rebellion. Review
It’s the unconventional, erratic love story that remains the film’s most potent ingredient, even if the educational notes about the famous rogue provide modest entertainment value. Review
Despite some heavy-handed storytelling tactics, the story is engaging and potent. Review
The end result is a film that, despite its fast-paced visuals, can’t help but to feel ponderous and stuffed with superfluous components. Review
It carries on a bit long, without the level of payoff many might expect, even if the final dish is tremendously fitting and funny. Review
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is one of the least humorous of any of the Marvel pictures, which certainly doesn’t help in making any of the sizable cast appear genuine or nuanced; amid the uninspired spectacle, no one here is having much fun at all. Review
It’s a slice-of-life character study of marvelous realism and candor, touching on similar themes seen in The Hurt Locker but sans the wartime excitement; here, low-key, minimalist interactions are everything. Review
Thanks to a tremendous performance from Farrell, whose emotions are plentiful even with lengthy sequences of wordlessness, the start of the picture is awash with moving observations, demonstrating that their friendship is enough to fuel the entire story. Review
It’s all just as unoriginal and goofy, but without the fun of James Gunn’s version’s self-aware humor. And, with its combination of so many disparate personas, it’s too busy, convoluted, disorderly, and stuffed with pointless interactions. Review
Genuinely moving moments arise, made more powerful by the fact that, like the aforementioned concepts of Chaplin, language is unnecessary in conveying universal emotions. Review
The creativity is surprisingly limited; even with greater resources, advanced moviemaking magic, and fewer restrictions concerning visual censorship, the writers couldn’t come up with something more absorbing and less plodding. Review
It’s all so convoluted and slow, save for the various love stories that have little to do with the main conspiracy, yet are entirely more moving. Review
With a general cinematographic ugliness, desaturated to the point of virtual colorlessness, paired with uninspired sets, terribly bland supporting characters, routine familial and social interactions, and generic dialogue, there’s no question that this is a low-budget endeavor. Review
Other than the fact that the studio was able to uncommonly regroup the three headliners so many years later, there’s little reason for this picture to exist; the handful of minimally funny moments – and a partially moving, satisfying finale – aren’t quite enough to mark a worthwhile reunion in feature-length form. Review
The main premise opens the door to all manner of dark magic and supernatural shenanigans, yet few of them leave any impression at all. Review
Build to the climax, in which the railway children must band together for a rescue of sorts, is moderately pleasant, even if, once again, the resolution is entirely too easy and manufactured. Review
A respectable movie exists somewhere within all the repetition and dawdling artistry, but Dominik’s cut can’t manage to single that out, instead leaving a prolonged, unsatisfying fictionalization of all of Marilyn Monroe’s most unattractive details – and of the most unpleasant rumors. Review
