The Ugly 0

The Ugly

It’s ultimately a project that has too little to say and too little entertainment value to make up for that shallowness.

The Smashing Machine 0

The Smashing Machine

While sports films are known for pulling you in, this one actively pushes you away, something that even feels true about the meta casting of its leading man.

Eleanor the Great 0

Eleanor the Great

Scarlett Johansson’s feature debut “Eleanor the Great” is quite the surprise.

Men of War 0

Men of War

The inherent instability of the filmmakers’ approach fuses with the manipulative charm and psychic damage of their subject.

Nouvelle Vague 0

Nouvelle Vague

Linklater not only pays his respects to Godard but also shares that adoration for his craft with his own audience.

Hedda 0

Hedda

“Hedda” is a movie whose ambitions I admire, but whose execution is lacking.

The Girlfriend 0

The Girlfriend

“The Girlfriend” is, at the end, escapist trash. But it’s glossy and richly satisfying trash.

Good Fortune 0

Good Fortune

There’s so much to like about the four stars of this movie that it’s a really tough flick to hate.
