“Drowning Dry” holds you at arms’ length, but I found it more moving—and unsettling—because of that.

A reminder of Kurosawa’s remarkable skill with pacing and plotting.

The movie is eventually indeed the tragedy of a ridiculous man.

“Guns Up” is one of those films that is so baffling that even as you are watching it, you can hardly believe that it exists.

Thrives off the depth of an excellent ensemble and their ability to overcome convoluted plotting.

History may have given the first film a reputation as dumb fun, but this one’s just dumb.

A sobering look at the way the political landscape has shifted in Brazil.

Fitfully amusing but slovenly and easily forgotten.

A few standout images and well-timed looks from Titus Welliver suggest a darker, more engrossing film than we got.
