Experimenter (2015) 85% “This movie seems a radical step for Almereyda, and more attentive to the nature of the medium than anything he has attempted before. ” – Film Comment Magazine Nov 6, 2024 Full Review Touch of Evil (1958) 97% “Enough to prove the innate genius of Orson Welles and the way a man who had been living in Europe could come home and suddenly pick up on American truths hardly grasped by most Americans.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 12, 2020 Full Review The Truman Show (1998) 94% “The Truman Show is one of the most startlingly original American movies in years, enough to give one faith in the salutary and inspiring nearness of the new millennium.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 12, 2020 Full Review The Woodlanders (1997) “This is not a great film or a large film... But this is a beautifully rendered film, shot in the places Hardy knew (and little changed no years later) and rich in feeling for people so close to the edge” – Esquire Magazine Aug 12, 2020 Full Review The Ice Storm (1997) 86% “Family life -- the real focus of The Ice Storm -- is rendered as having something like the alienating density of prison; each solitary feels enclosed in his or her own sentence and injustice.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 12, 2020 Full Review L.A. Confidential (1997) 99% “L.A. Confidential could yet prove too demanding for big audiences, but there are huge narrative pleasures and swoony surprises that lift the picture off in new, darker directions. This may be the best noir storytelling since Chinatown.” – Esquire Magazine Aug 11, 2020 Full Review The Girl (2012) 70% “The Girl, written by Gwyneth Hughes and directed by Julian Jarrold, is remarkable, disturbing and something Hitch would have understood. In addition, it insists quietly on a nagging question: why do we like Vertigo so much?” – The New Republic Aug 4, 2020 Full Review Yanks (1979) 57% “Yanks is so much better than I expected that I hope I don't overrate it.” – Sight & Sound Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Red Riding Trilogy (2010) 86% “Red Riding is not to be grasped, followed, or understood-that's why you need to see it.” – The New York Review of Books Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Too Big to Fail (2011) 77% “Just a dramatized synopsis in which some noble cynics guard our citadel. It is hardboiled-instead of admitting that the egg just exploded.” – The New Republic Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Gone Girl (2014) 88% “Gone Girl promises to be an unnerving portrait of marriage as ruin, but then it opts for madness and implausibility.” – The New Republic Jan 4, 2015 Full Review The Blue Room (2014) 88% “The ultimate triumph in what Amalric has done is to show us all the different forces that can be at work in an affair.” – The New Republic Jan 1, 2015 Full Review Still Alice (2014) 85% “Julianne Moore is extraordinary at revealing the gradual loss of memory and confidence, and at showing the hulk of physical persistence that remains after intellect and reference have gone.” – The New Republic Dec 3, 2014 Full Review A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014) 96% “This is a dream on your screen, absurd, languid (if not slow), and possessed by the calm of an inevitable beauty. This is what cinema was invented for.” – The New Republic Nov 20, 2014 Full Review Foxcatcher (2014) 88% “It's understandable that Bennett Miller should have been fascinated by the du Pont-Schultz case and wanted to make a film from it. But sometimes the defense of "based on a true story" evades both the real facts and their fictional potential.” – The New Republic Nov 13, 2014 Full Review Interstellar (2014) 73% “Interstellar is an entertainment disaster for reasons that have dogged our films since they began: ridiculous story; implausible segues; laughable dialogue; the absence of character, drama, and command.” – The New Republic Nov 6, 2014 Full Review Low Down (2014) 50% “Low Down is a knockout, a candid picture of much of jazz, and one more step for a master actor.” – The New Republic Oct 23, 2014 Full Review Whiplash (2014) 94% “This is a student film in rampant overdrive and it will attract attention and offers. So I just hope Mr. Chazelle doesn't believe too much in his film's dumb message.” – The New Republic Oct 9, 2014 Full Review A Most Wanted Man (2014) 86% “The puzzle-like premise of A Most Wanted Man is a fabrication, but you cannot escape the fascination of Hoffman waiting for despair to be confirmed.” – The New Republic Jul 29, 2014 Full Review Magic in the Moonlight (2014) 52% “Magic in the Moonlight is awful and unnecessary. There is no magic, no moonlight, no chemistry, and no impediment to 98 minutes seeming like a day and a half.” – The New Republic Jul 23, 2014 Full Review Snowpiercer (2013) 94% “The most bracing and liberating thing about Joon-ho Bong's Snowpiercer is not just its lyrical forward motion, but the exuberance with which the film revels in its plot predicament.” – The New Republic Jun 25, 2014 Full Review The Last Sentence (2012) 74% “[Troell] is a great and restrained director, seldom extravagant or showy, but trusting of actors, dcor, and a relentless attention to mixed motives.” – The New Republic Jun 18, 2014 Full Review Third Person (2013) 25% “This really is one of the dark-horse pictures of the year. Its deepest feelings are for narrative puzzle and its solutions, so it is some way from the blunt emotional impact usually associated with movie success. See it once; see it twice.” – The New Republic Jun 18, 2014 Full Review Edge of Tomorrow (2014) 91% “Long before the end, it's an old-fashioned high tech army fighting the Mimics, who are as spirited and pretty as Blunt. The combat is endless and predictable.” – The New Republic Jun 4, 2014 Full Review The Immigrant (2013) 85% “This is Gray's most mature work, and the picture raises Cotillard to a select pantheon.” – The New Republic May 28, 2014 Full Review
