Reviews
The Two Faces of January
There’s ample duplicity afoot in The Two Faces of January, but not just of the obvious kind.
The Rover
Desperation remains the primary force in this heat-soaked, hard-boiled, stripped-back fable.
Joe
With every intricate shot and simmering interaction, Joe builds its heartbreak in haunting layers.
Something Must Break
As tender as the film may be in its consideration of the transgressive, it is also far from subtle.
Calvary
Calvary is a musing and moving meditation on faith, served up with dark comedy and deft commentary.
20,000 Days on Earth
The feature turns the course of an ordinary day for Nick Cave into something extraordinary in its reflection and contemplation.
Tim's Vermeer
How can the titular Tim Jenison make his own painting in the style of renowned Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer?
Grace of Monaco
The only perceptions shattered in Grace of Monaco are of the director’s luck with biopics.
Edge of Tomorrow
Edge of Tomorrow is not a ponderous or even particularly thoughtful sci-fi effort, but it is propulsive, energetic and perceptive.
Palo Alto
Gia Coppola takes James Franco's short stories to make a feature of lurching ambition, layered emotion and lyrical vision.
