Moving On (2022) 75% ““Moving On” takes refuge in pleasantness, and in the easy charm of its stars. Who are... consistently enjoyable to watch. Which might be the problem.” – New York Times Mar 16, 2023 Full Review 65 (2023) 36% “Like Mills’s emotional back story, the special effects seem to have been pulled out of a box of secondhand ideas. Nor is the execution all that impressive. There’s little in the way of awe, suspense or surprise.” – New York Times Mar 9, 2023 Full Review La Civil (2021) 85% “The demoralization that afflicts Cielo casts a shadow on the audience, whose capacity for compassion may reach its limit even before the full measure of her suffering has been taken.” – New York Times Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Mali Twist (2021) 86% “The cast is... dynamic and sincere in a way that gives the drama a buoyant teen-movie spirit even as it takes a grave turn. It’s affecting, but also a bit glib.” – New York Times Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Pacifiction (2022) 88% “It suggests John le Carré by way of David Lynch — a feverish and haunting but also wry and meditative rumination on power, secrecy and the color of clouds over water at sunset.” – New York Times Feb 16, 2023 Full Review Marlowe (2022) 26% “The cast is large and the costume and set designers have been kept busy with period details, but “Marlowe” neither dutifully copies nor cleverly updates detective-movie tropes.” – New York Times Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023) 48% “The dance numbers, choreographed by Alison Faulk and Luke Broadlick, feel a bit tame this time around, but the movie still pays ample respect to the terpsichorean craft practiced by Tatum and the hard-working members of Mike’s ensemble.” – New York Times Feb 8, 2023 Full Review A Difficult Life (1961) “An exuberant bad time, a pity party that has no business being so much fun.” – New York Times Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Knock at the Cabin (2023) 67% “The film’s effectiveness depends on what occurs on the way to the answers, and in this respect Shyamalan’s wit and sincerity serve him and the audience well.” – New York Times Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Close (2022) 91% “Dambrine and De Waele are wonderfully natural, conveying the complexities of youthful experience with impressive directness and poise.” – New York Times Jan 26, 2023 Full Review Saint Omer (2022) 95% “An intellectually charged, emotionally wrenching story about the inability of storytelling — literary, legal or cinematic — to do justice to the violence and strangeness of human experience.” – New York Times Jan 12, 2023 Full Review Broker (2022) 94% ““Broker” doesn’t feel overplotted, overly cute or excessively melodramatic. Kore-Eda has an emotionally direct style, a way of fusing naturalism and fable that recalls the neorealist magic of Vittorio De Sica.” – New York Times Dec 26, 2022 Full Review Women Talking (2022) 90% ““Women Talking” compels you to think about their plight, but it also invites you to enjoy their company.” – New York Times Dec 22, 2022 Full Review No Bears (2022) 99% “Panahi, whose courage and honesty are beyond doubt, has made a movie that calls those very qualities into question, a movie about its own ethical limits and aesthetic contradictions.” – New York Times Dec 22, 2022 Full Review Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) 76% “Cameron’s embrace of the idealism of adolescence, of the capacity for moral outrage as well as wonder, is the emotional heart of the movie.” – New York Times Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Empire of Light (2022) 45% “The message is muddled and soft, like a Milk Dud at the bottom of the box, and the movie chews on it for quite a while.” – New York Times Dec 8, 2022 Full Review The Whale (2022) 64% ““The Whale,” like some of Aronofsky’s other projects, is swamped by its grand and vague ambitions. It’s overwrought and also strangely insubstantial.” – New York Times Dec 7, 2022 Full Review Lady Chatterley's Lover (2022) 87% “This "Lady Chatterley's Lover" is faithful to the novel, while also revealing how safe, how domesticated, it has become.” – New York Times Dec 1, 2022 Full Review White Noise (2022) 64% ““White Noise” is an expression of sincere and admirable faith. I just wish I could believe in it.” – New York Times Nov 23, 2022 Full Review Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) 91% “I can’t say much about what happens in “Glass Onion” without giving away some surprises, but I can say that some of the pleasure comes from being wrong about what will happen next.” – New York Times Nov 21, 2022 Full Review The Inspection (2022) 88% “The metamorphosis that Bratton explores, and that Pope embodies — the way Ellis both changes and remains ever faithful to himself — is subtle, bittersweet and beautiful.” – New York Times Nov 17, 2022 Full Review Bones and All (2022) 82% “Gory, ridiculous and curiously touching...” – New York Times Nov 17, 2022 Full Review Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) 84% “A Marvel movie, for sure. But a pretty interesting one, partly because it’s also a Ryan Coogler film, with the director’s signature interplay of genre touchstones, vivid emotions, and allegorical implications.” – New York Times Nov 9, 2022 Full Review Causeway (2022) 84% ““Causeway” is both thin and heavy-handed, its plot overly diagramed and its characters inadequately fleshed out.” – New York Times Nov 3, 2022 Full Review Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths (2022) 60% “It may be superfluous to defend “Bardo,” which is proudly and self-evidently the product of a monumental ego. It is also, however, the work of a prodigious and unruly talent.” – New York Times Nov 3, 2022 Full Review
