Never Look Away85
Nov 29, 2018
Never Look Away, a cohesively integrated collage of many genres (history, war, crime, medical drama with romance and spectacle), is also a feast of fine acting and magnificent visuals. But with so much going on, viewers, as if confronting impressionistic paintings or pixel-based photorealistic portraitures, need to step away to get a better picture.

Viper Club80
Oct 30, 2018
Above all, this is Sarandon’s picture and maybe her best film work in many years.

Wildlife85
Oct 25, 2018
Wildlife offers a fresh glimpse of lower-class anomie and the rhythms of life in a simpler time and place.

Nigerian Prince63
Oct 25, 2018
Character development and backstory needed more work and would have added to better, more engaged storytelling.

Night School65
Oct 4, 2018
Night School pushes no buttons nor breaks new boundaries, but it pleases and entertains enough to get a diploma for good effort.

Pick of the Litter90
Sep 7, 2018
Devoid of any corniness, sentimentality or condescension, Pick of the Litter is a must for dog lovers, but it will also serve all those needing reminders of how kind, decent and giving humans can be and the role dogs play in our lives.

Papillon58
Aug 23, 2018
Charlie Hunnam as Parisian safecracker Henri “Papillon” Charrière and Rami Malek as his pal-in-hell, counterfeiter Louis Dega, were sorely in need of richer characters written (or directed?) with more complexity, coloring, backstory, tics, or whatever might humanize them more.

Memoir of War45
Aug 16, 2018
There are few elements of suspense or intrigue in this drama, as it’s largely an inward journey into Duras’ agonized, shaky state of mind over the unknown whereabouts of her Resistance-member husband, Robert Anselme.

Dog Days65
Aug 7, 2018
No spoiler here that all unfolds with twists and complications but lands in a colorful kibble bowl of happy endings. Surprise does lie in the fact that such familiar material can deliver some unexpected pleasures.

Constructing Albert55
Jul 5, 2018
While this culinary-themed doc offers a little kitchen sizzle and artistically plated tastings (a delicious shrimp dish sautéed, a daring soy sorbet, etc.), the film has more of a scattershot, look-at-me Facebook feel.
