A corporate girl-power biopic with a well-tread narrative.

A remarkably propulsive, fun, and eventually moving piece of work about the human beings caught up in the chaotic machine.

Provocative but sometimes convoluted.

If you’re the audience for “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues,” you know it. And the movie knows it, too.

It confidently cashes out the considerable emotional capital that the series has accrued.

Bentley and co-writer Greg Kwedar (“Sing Sing”) tell a story of an ordinary life in an extraordinary way.

“Ballad of a Small Player” is one of the most over-directed films I’ve ever seen.

For as ironically static as JT Mollner’s script is, the conversations and dynamics become innately cinematic.

It’s all very presentational and Brechtian, and the nonstop pace leaves you breathless.

Just watching the two-part Netflix documentary series can feel draining.
