If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) 95% “A gorgeous tone poem of James Baldwin's searing, political novel of young love in 1970s Harlem.” – Film Journal International Nov 21, 2018 Full Review A United Kingdom (2016) 83% “Worthwhile, enjoyable though not especially stirring depiction of the monumental struggle faced by an African king [...] and the white British woman he loved.” – Film Journal International Feb 8, 2017 Full Review The Girl on the Train (2016) 44% “Anchored by a wrenching performance from the brilliantly versatile Emily Blunt, [The Girl on the Train] not only keeps you guessing, it makes you care.” – Film Journal International Oct 4, 2016 Full Review The Danish Girl (2015) 65% “Tom Hooper's sumptuous, Oscar-bound biopic [...] tells an important, forgotten story with a tad too much taste, but great sincerity.” – Film Journal International Nov 23, 2015 Full Review Belle (2013) 84% “Belle can be heavy-handed at times...but the richness of the material, strong performances and excellent production design more than make up for these minor shortcomings.” – Film Journal International Apr 28, 2014 Full Review Philomena (2013) 91% “Philomena is an amazing story, movingly told, which skirts sentimentality and rings true.” – Film Journal International Nov 20, 2013 Full Review Les Misérables (2012) 70% “British director Tom Hooper could be heading back to the Oscars, along with his stars Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway, with this remarkably affecting and resourceful screen adaptation of the popular pop opera.” – Film Journal International Dec 21, 2012 Full Review Searching for Sugar Man (2011) 95% “This innovative documentary tells a stranger-than-fiction tale about a remarkable Phil Ochs-like singer/songwriter from the Motor City who metaphorically rises from the dead, to the delight of his South African fans and now us.” – Film Journal International Jul 25, 2012 Full Review Ruby Sparks (2012) 79% “Both a serious and playful foray into the forest of romantic love and literary invention by the directors of Little Miss Sunshine and the actress and writer Zoe Kazan.” – Film Journal International Jul 25, 2012 Full Review Monsieur Lazhar (2011) 98% “This surprising, humanist Canadian film about an Algerian immigrant seeking solace for his young students and himself is a winner.” – Film Journal International Apr 10, 2012 Full Review In Darkness (2011) 88% “Agnieszka Holland's epic true-life drama about a Catholic sewer worker who hid Jews in the tunnels beneath a small Polish town during the Nazi occupation is unsparing, unsentimental and unforgettable.” – Film Journal International Dec 9, 2011 Full Review Goethe! (2010) 64% “Though far from the rollicking success of Shakespeare in Love or as moving as Goethe's original tale, this visually lush, well-acted German-language biopic is a worthy take on a formative period in the great writer's life.” – Film Journal International Nov 2, 2011 Full Review The Debt (2010) 77% “Perfectly cast and stylishly shot, this smart period thriller concerning three Mossad agents and a Dr. Mengele-like Nazi war criminal falters near the end, but is generally unnervingly good.” – Film Journal International Aug 29, 2011 Full Review Everything Must Go (2010) 73% “This slow-paced indie about a suburban alcoholic is surprisingly gentle considering its subject matter, but that's not entirely a good thing.” – Film Journal International May 10, 2011 Full Review Casino Jack (2010) 39% “The Abramoff affair reads like a Hollywood screenplay, but this feature rarely fulfills its promise. Kevin Spacey is fun to watch playing a man by turns cunning, corny and crazy.” – Film Journal International Dec 16, 2010 Full Review The City of Your Final Destination (2007) 39% “The new film from James Ivory is leisurely paced, lacking in narrative drive perhaps, but rich in nuance, dialogue and atmosphere. Marvelous performances by Anthony Hopkins, Laura Linney and Charlotte Gainsbourg.” – Film Journal International Apr 15, 2010 Full Review The Soloist (2009) 57% “A sensitive but surprisingly unmoving portrayal of the friendship (based on a true story) between a Los Angeles Times writer and a troubled street musician living on the streets of Skid Row. Jamie Foxx gives a standout performance.” – Film Journal International Apr 22, 2009 Full Review Doubt (2008) 79% “John Patrick Shanley opens up his Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play,diluting some of its dramatic alchemy, but with its considerable strengths intact. He's assembled a veritable screen dream team to rival the brilliant stage ensemble.” – Film Journal International Dec 11, 2008 Full Review Waltz With Bashir (2008) 97% “This provocative, poetic, searing exploration by the Israeli director Ari Folman into his forgotten past as a member of the Israeli mission in the first Lebanon War is only stronger for being drawn. As a friend tells him, "Memory is dynamic; it's alive,"” – Film Journal International Dec 4, 2008 Full Review Hamlet 2 (2008) 62% “While not all the jokes in Hamlet 2 work, even the failures earn a smile.” – Film Journal International Jul 16, 2008 Full Review Made of Honor (2008) 15% “Another wedding-themed romantic comedy that fizzles when it should fizz.” – Film Journal International May 2, 2008 Full Review Married Life (2007) 55% “Cooper gives another indelible performance as a suffering innocent with devilish intent.” – Film Journal International Feb 11, 2008 Full Review The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) 94% “The film, aided by Amalric's pitch-perfect performance, reveals the range of Jean-Do's emotional life, his anger, joy and wry humor.” – Film Journal International Nov 19, 2007 Full Review Lars and the Real Girl (2007) 81% “What could have been cloying or absurd is instead endearing, even if the film is somewhat too long for its conceit.” – Film Journal International Oct 4, 2007 Full Review The 11th Hour (2007) 67% “Less imaginatively structured than An Inconvenient Truth and therefore less likely to reach the unconverted, it is still a treasure trove of fascinating facts and ideas.” – Film Journal International Aug 13, 2007 Full Review
