Joy
“Dragged down by a confusing tone, but makes up for it…during the QVC portions of the story.”
The Big Short
“An exaggerated ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ that registers as phony and too shallow for its own good.”
Carol
“The romance can be stilted at times, but it’s hard not to appreciate the cinematic composition.”
Youth
“A compelling albeit frustrating mess. Not an experience many would consider unpretentious.”
Spotlight
“Takes the research and backroom politics of investigative journalism and turns it into an art form.”
Steve Jobs
“It might be Michael Fassbender’s symphony, but Aaron Sorkin’s the maestro of the entire suite.”
Bridge of Spies
“Asks timely questions about how the U.S. has handled war criminals throughout history, but never preaches.”
Black Mass
“Johnny Depp has just enough material to do some interesting things with the character.”
Mistress America
“Noah Baumbach has written unlikeable characters before that go down a whole lot smoother.”
The End of the Tour
“The dynamic between Segel and Eisenberg as the two push and pull is thought-provoking.”
Infinitely Polar Bear
“A charming and heartfelt albeit shamelessly sweet drama. A fantastic performance by Mark Ruffalo.”
Aloft
“A frustratingly constructed screenplay. Never reaches the emotional high notes it’s trying to hit.”
