Brothers (2024) Justin Lowe Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage play mismatched siblings with heavy jaws in Max Barbakow’s second feature, which finds him trading the subtler comic shadings of Palm Springs for ham-fisted humor, to disappointingly diminishing effect.

The Summer Book (2024) David Rooney In this retelling, The Summer Book is a slim volume, but its unassuming pleasures acquire substance.

Suburban Fury (2024) Lovia Gyarkye At its most interesting, Suburban Fury probes this tension alongside Moore’s account. It’s in this space that Devor’s film, bursting with energy of the archives and the thrill of a narrator who can’t quite be trusted, finds its purpose.

Lonely Planet (2024) Angie Han Neither dull enough to be painful nor fun enough to be engaging, it's simply too bland to make much of an impression at all.

Posted Oct 11, 2024

Blitz (2024) Leslie Felperin Such personal, freeform touches elevate Blitz, adding an artsy, astringent rawness to counter the sticky sweet use of clichés elsewhere.

Daytime Revolution (2024) David Rooney This recap of a unique and deeply sincere bid to demystify utopian ideals for the conservative masses using the platform of popular television offers a fascinating glimpse into a very different period in this country’s past.

Viet and Nam (2024) Lovia Gyarkye Quy has accomplished something special with Viet and Nam.

White Bird (2023) Lovia Gyarkye Forster’s steady direction keeps this thread of White Bird affecting even when it conforms to predictable narrative beats.

Posted Oct 04, 2024

My Eternal Summer (2024) Leslie Felperin Such well-observed details are sprinkled throughout, revealing the complexity, fallibility and kindness of ordinary people.

TWST - Things We Said Today (2024) Daniel Fienberg Ujica lays it out here smartly, and without sacrificing the momentum as we charge forward toward an ending that’s beautiful and satisfying.

Posted Oct 01, 2024

When fall is coming (2024) Leslie Felperin Perfectly calibrated to inspire post-screening debates over whether character X or Y is guilty, When Fall Is Coming dispenses clues and red herrings masterfully but always holds just a little something back.

Posted Oct 01, 2024

Afternoons of Solitude (2024) David Rooney ... A doc as muscular and ferocious as the poor creatures being ritualistically slaughtered in those bullrings.

Devara Part 1 (2024) Rahul Desai The desire to replicate the Baahubali-sized cultural moment is so strong that originality here is, at best, a couple of dapper-looking sharks who’re reduced to visual hero-fodder.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Yudhra (2024) Rahul Desai Ravi Udyawar’s action thriller sleepwalks through its exotic journey. At times, it lets out such an audible sigh that you can hear it go: “Do we have to?”

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Omkara (2006) Rahul Desai Khan allows the details and deceptions of Vishal Bhardwaj’s masterpiece to earn a life — and legacy — of its own.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

When We Met (2007) Rahul Desai Geet Dhillon is not a name; it’s a cultural institution.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) Rahul Desai Beneath all the primadonna flair, though, you could tell that Kapoor Khan got the brief. She oozed context...

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Laal Singh Chaddha (2022) Rahul Desai One glance at Rupa's face in the opening strands of Tere Hawaale, and it emerges that Kapoor Khan is playing a woman who starts dying the day she is born. It's not so much a performance as a subdued symphony of wounds.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Suspect X (2023) Rahul Desai All along, Kapoor Khan resists the urge to stage Maya as the mastermind. Because there is no last laugh; even her manipulations are rooted in vulnerability.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Salem's Lot (2024) Lovia Gyarkye The action sequences feature thrilling moments — some more intentionally funny than others — that make Salem's Lot perfect to watch with a crowd.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

1-800-on-Her-Own (2024) Robyn Bahr It’s a snooze.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Dev (2004) Rahul Desai Already a superstar in waiting, Kapoor Khan marked her mainstream ascent with a smattering of steady supporting acts. These characters were more transformative than meaty...

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012) Rahul Desai It’s a perceptive performance — full of reactions and uncertainty and incomplete thoughts — that does the usual modern-girl thing without committing to a type. In a way, this is her anti-romcom, and everyone else is just living (in) it.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Talaash (2012) Rahul Desai It's as if her audiovisual volume is different — a higher pitch, a posthumous glow — from the rest of the story. In most films, this might have felt jarring. But here, it's the perfect marriage of celebrity and spirit.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Kurbaan (2009) Rahul Desai It's a testament to Kapoor Khan's talent that her image of fragility feeds the film instead of hijacking it.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Sector 36 (2024) Rahul Desai The thing about hard-to-stomach movies is that they tend to be exploitative. Sector 36, too, has its fair share of provocations, but it doesn’t rest on its inherent disturbia.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

The Buckingham Murders (2023) Rahul Desai The subtext is easy to appreciate in hindsight. In real time, however, it feels generic. There is no dearth of tropes and gimmicks. Even the mistakes are familiar. It's hard to be original, but it's harder to be derivative, and still stay relevant.

Posted Sep 27, 2024

Emmanuelle (2024) Leslie Felperin If it’s lucky, Emmanuelle might find an afterlife as a kind of Showgirls for its generation, a great-bad movie that’s undeniably craptacular yet strangely endearing, a shameful pleasure in every sense.

Posted Sep 24, 2024

Apartment 7A (2024) Lovia Gyarkye James’ film is particularly compelling in post-Roe America, when recent headlines about punitive laws barring abortion access have lent it an urgent political valence, so it’s a shame that its energy doesn’t always match its relevance.

Posted Sep 24, 2024

Never Let Go (2024) David Rooney But all [Halle Berry's] conviction can’t breathe substance into a story that’s way more complicated than complex and a movie that takes itself far more seriously than the material merits.

Posted Sep 17, 2024

Shell (2024) Jourdain Searles Ultimately, Shell’s observations about the beauty industry are only skin-deep.

Posted Sep 17, 2024

On Swift Horses (2024) Jourdain Searles On Swift Horses is the kind of big, sweeping romantic drama that Hollywood just doesn’t make anymore.

Posted Sep 17, 2024

The Deb (2024) Lovia Gyarkye Despite its 2-hour runtime, parts of The Deb can feel frustratingly shallow. That could be forgiven if the rest of the movie meaningfully cohered, but it doesn't.

Posted Sep 16, 2024

Eden (2024) Michael Rechtshaffen Howard and screenwriter Pink shipwreck the Queensland-shot vehicle in a mishmash of styles. Neither quite satire nor thriller nor murder mystery, the film cries out for a sharper attack.

Posted Sep 16, 2024

The Fire Inside (2024) Michael Rechtshaffen As its restless protagonist navigates the road to ultimate personal victory, director Morrison is right there with her, maintaining a propulsive momentum accentuated by editor Yoon’s rhythmic cuts and composer Tamar-kali’s elegant, percolating score.

Posted Sep 16, 2024

Uglies (2024) Frank Scheck It’s all about as familiar-feeling as it sounds, but it goes down easily thanks to McG’s skillful, fast-paced direction, the imaginatively lavish CGI-enhanced visuals, and King’s impressive performance.

Posted Sep 13, 2024

Elton John: Never Too Late (2024) David Rooney For a film co-directed by its subject’s husband, David Furnish, Elton John: Never Too Late, while always entertaining, feels curiously impersonal and lacking in intimacy.

Posted Sep 12, 2024

Friendship (2024) Michael Rechtshaffen ... A gleefully discomfiting portrait of male bonding that delivers some of the year’s biggest laughs.

Posted Sep 12, 2024

The Killer's Game (2024) Frank Scheck The Killer's Game has a tired air of familiarity that makes it wear out its welcome long before its conclusion.

Posted Sep 12, 2024

Transformers One (2024) Frank Scheck Besides the raucous, de rigueur action sequences, Transformers One provides numerous witty jokes of both the verbal and visual variety and -- surprise, surprise -- genuine emotion. Consider this a franchise revitalized.

Posted Sep 12, 2024

The Return (2024) Frank Scheck Reminiscent of another Pasolini, Pier Paolo, in its minimalist take on a classic story, the film relies mainly on the elemental power of Fiennes and Binoche, both suitably haunting as the long-separated lovers who have lapsed into emotional despair.

Posted Sep 11, 2024

Daniela Forever (2024) Lovia Gyarkye Before Daniela Forever goes off the rails in a disappointing series of twists, it pulls us in with a visual style that distinguishes it from others with a familiar premise...

Posted Sep 11, 2024

Heretic (2024) Lovia Gyarkye Even when the screenplay heads into deflating territory — trading potential acerbity for more neutral conclusions — their cat-and-mouse game keeps us curious and faithful.

Posted Sep 11, 2024

Riff Raff (2024) David Rooney Riff Raff is a flat-looking movie with a tone that’s all over the map and a strong cast mostly left floundering.

Posted Sep 10, 2024

Youth (Homecoming) (2024) Leslie Felperin The long, unbroken rhythm of Wang’s filmmaking somehow casts a spell, and he certainly has a good eye for characters.

Posted Sep 10, 2024

Meet the Barbarians (2024) Jordan Mintzer Sure, it’s far too preachy and never quite believable, but beneath all the typecasting in Meet the Barbarians, there’s a desire to show how a refugee situation can wind up benefiting both sides.

Posted Sep 10, 2024

Relay (2024) Lovia Gyarkye Relay pays homage to a once-ubiquitous kind of action thriller defined by its brisk pace and satisfying mystery. It's also an exciting New York film.

Posted Sep 10, 2024

Sketch (2024) Michael Rechtshaffen Worley has adroitly assembled the mega-mash-up into an engaging whole, with the help of an amiable cast and a crack technical team.

Posted Sep 10, 2024

Without Blood (2024) Lovia Gyarkye Despite flashes of power, the story ultimately seems too thin to bear the weight of its themes.

Posted Sep 10, 2024

The Assessment (2024) Lovia Gyarkye The Assessment smartly taps into and maintains its focus on the near universal anxiety about parenting in a world made increasingly uninhabitable by overconsumption and climate change. But the film loses its way when it widens its scope...
