The Shrouds (2024)

3/4
“The pace feels deliberate throughout, almost at times ceremonial. Karsh describes himself as “a non-observant atheist.” The Shrouds is a bit like that, too.” –

Beatles '64 (2024)

“Good as “Beatles ‘64″ is, it’s not of “Get Back” quality... It feels ungrateful, though, to complain about such an exhilarating 106 minutes. ” –

“There’s way too much smash-crash-bash, and action isn’t exactly a Feig forte... But Cena is such a comedic treat, you almost don’t mind. ” –

Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes (2024)

“Listening to Taylor is so compelling the screen could be blank and “Lost Tapes” would still be interesting. But director Nanette Burstein keeps things visually abundant.” –

“What Walker’s really made, though, is a character study, a character study of an indomitable woman whose indomitability extends well beyond getting to the top of Everest.” –

“Filmically, voice-overs are a cheat, an extreme example of telling rather than showing, and this in a medium that’s all about showing. For once, Comer makes it all right to cheat.” –

“Guadagnino is big on passion. The passion here is a two-fer. The characters really feel it for tennis. They really really feel it for each other. But that passion, in either form, never really comes across to the audience. ” –

2.5/4
““Remembering Gene Wilder,” which Ron Frank directed, is a somewhat unusual documentary, starting with the odd career arc it chronicles. The most unusual thing, and very much in a good way, is that Wilder serves as de facto narrator.” –

2.5/4
“The film can be mystifying at time, even confusing, with all that switching around and lack of explaining, but it’s never confused. Keeping an eye on Seydoux’s hairstyles is the best way to follow when’s when and where’s where.” –

“Patel does various things that are par for the present-day course: Steadicam, handheld camera, the occasional use of slow motion, even a bit of strobe. None of it feels show-offy, though.” –

“There are many complaints to be made about "Wicked Little Letters" — its forced humor, its even more forced moral lessons, its tonal unevenness (flat-footed jokiness here, cheap sentimentality there) — but chief among them is wasting Buckley.” –

“Visually, the movie can be quite pretty. Linus Sandgren, Damien Chazelle’s go-to cinematographer, shot it. Emotionally, it’s ugly through and through, which the prettiness makes that much uglier.” –

“Gyllenhaal, who’s looking more and more like a trimmer Javier Bardem, uses that handsome-hangdog face of his to good effect. Salim, an Iraqi-born Danish actor, is very good. If he weren’t, the movie simply wouldn’t work.” –
