Mahmoud Bakri is splendid as Chatila, setting his jaw hard as he tries to keep his situation together even as his heart keeps getting broken.

Juan Pablo Di Pace’s movie about memory, longing, time, and family is like a set of Russian nesting Matryoshka dolls.

While it’s a smaller story than her hit series “Girls,” Dunham quickly reminds us why she was heralded as one of the great writers of her generation.

“Brick” buzzes around your senses, grabbing for your attention, but has a very short shelf life.

One can tell that the people closest to the victims of the Idaho murders trusted Garbus and Galkin, and that trust is the foundation for why this series works (and it’s why so many similar shows feel like exploitation).

This latest version makes for enjoyable-enough popcorn entertainment, but ultimately leaves us wondering: was it even necessary?

A rather unappealing riff on erotic thrillers.

It’s all very silly, and I wish it were silly in the fun way.

“Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print” reminds us that physical media and its place in our homes are vital.

It’s stupid fun, done with enough panache that its thin story and sometimes too-glib attitude doesn’t hurt it too much.
