All the Way (2016) 85% “All the Way is a more satisfying movie than it was a play. Intense closeups of the characters, plus news footage from the 1960s civil rights showdown and Barry Goldwater's campaign, make it both more intimate and more epic.” – Denver Post Oct 7, 2020 Full Review The Girl (2012) 70% “Sienna Miller is lovely as Hedren, a fresh-faced beauty with a reserve that made her seem sculpted from marble.” – Denver Post Aug 5, 2020 Full Review Temple Grandin (2010) 100% “It helps that Danes is phenomenal, going so deep inside the character as to be unrecognizable to fans of her Romeo + Juliet, Me and Orson Welles and My So-Called Life performances.” – Denver Post Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Recount (2008) 78% “Given its timeliness, "Recount" is a painful sort of fun, and likely a great argument starter.” – Denver Post Mar 30, 2020 Full Review Prayers for Bobby (2009) 73% “It doesn't mean to feel maniacally manipulative. It just happened that way... Sigourney Weaver is the film's strength; the neat Lifetime tie-a- ribbon ending is its biggest weakness.” – Denver Post Oct 3, 2019 Full Review High School Musical 2 (2007) 83% “Like the original, the sequel is about the tricky social order as established in high school, the renewable energy source that is the musical, and the power of a certain American entertainment empire. Not fabulous, but fun.” – Denver Post Sep 10, 2019 Full Review Amy Schumer: Live From the Apollo (2015) 90% “By turns coy, insecure, dramatic and challenging, Schumer has the flexibility to make her conversation both intimate and grandstanding.” – Denver Post Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Confirmation (2016) 84% “Confirmation is not nearly as nuanced as the recent O.J. Simpson trial docudrama on FX. It's also much shorter and more reliant on news footage. But it similarly revives memories of a wild media/cultural/political flashpoint.” – Denver Post Apr 15, 2016 Full Review Everything Is Copy (2015) 100% “A wonderfully insightful chronicle of a woman, her family, the influence of a writer-mother, and her approach to essays, film and life.” – Denver Post Mar 21, 2016 Full Review Becoming Mike Nichols (2016) 70% “It's not meant to be a complete catalog or chronology. It's a beautiful interview piece with archival photographs and clips that will inform any viewer's appreciation of the performing arts.” – Denver Post Feb 23, 2016 Full Review The Wiz Live! (2015) 91% “Queen Latifah blew away memories of Wizards past.” – Denver Post Dec 4, 2015 Full Review Bessie (2015) 91% “A beautifully affecting biopic.” – Denver Post Dec 3, 2015 Full Review Going Clear: Scientology & the Prison of Belief (2015) 95% “There is little breaking news in Going Clear, but the film is eye-opening for those who haven't seen past reports.” – Denver Post Mar 30, 2015 Full Review Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas (2014) 89% “Clever enough for adults, sweet enough for young kids and musically inventive enough to please the worst Scrooge.” – Denver Post Dec 16, 2014 Full Review Peter Pan Live! (2014) 56% “Allison Williams won't make us forget Mary Martin, but she can be proud of her smooth performance as Peter, the boy who wouldn't grow up. She pulled it off, but the whole was slick rather than enchanting, well rehearsed rather than goosebump-y.” – Denver Post Dec 5, 2014 Full Review Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014) 61% “Kind of hilarious. Kind of silly. Mostly a game of spot-the-cameo players and teasing about what moment a certain chainsaw will come in contact with certain bodies.” – Denver Post Jul 31, 2014 Full Review The Normal Heart (2014) 94% “Moving, well acted and important for a generation who may be unfamiliar with the source material. But the 온라인카지노추천 version, also written by Kramer, doesn't have the emotional heft of the play.” – Denver Post May 27, 2014 Full Review The Sound Of Music Live! (2013) 44% “Considering this was the first live musical theater effort for the medium in 50 years, it ranks as a successful curiosity that may inspire a new generation to explore further.” – Denver Post Dec 12, 2013 Full Review An Adventure in Space and Time (2013) 96% “What a wonderful, funny, poignant origin tale for fans of Doctor Who and newcomers alike.” – Denver Post Nov 22, 2013 Full Review “This rich and rewarding rendering is powerful thanks to the enduring words, the casting and the terrific performance of Ben Whishaw as Richard.” – Denver Post Sep 23, 2013 Full Review Behind the Candelabra (2013) 94% “The stunning and quite intimate performances by Michael Douglas and Matt Damon are award-worthy.” – Denver Post May 28, 2013 Full Review Somewhere Between (2011) 88% “A very affecting piece.” – Denver Post Nov 16, 2012 Full Review Liz (1979) 33% “No matter what you think of the actors, the great period stylings, not to mention Cleopatra-period costumes, make this jewel-encrusted, cocktail-soaked, often tragic saga a rip-roaring good time.” – Denver Post Nov 15, 2012 Full Review Crossfire Hurricane (2012) 89% “True, it's a self-promotional exercise designed to coincide with a new greatest-hits album and featuring the band's closest participation in a documentary ever, but it's still fun to recap.” – Denver Post Nov 12, 2012 Full Review “The Girl may make movie lovers want to screen The Birds and Marnie again, perhaps seeing Hedren's performances in a new light through the eyes of the obsessed director.” – Denver Post Oct 19, 2012 Full Review
