4/5 96% Stories We Tell (2013) " Apart from minor details and interpretations, the witnesses don't often disagree about what happened. What does deepen as the people onscreen go on talking is our relationship with them: The more they reveal themselves, the more attractive they become. " — Bloomberg News
Posted May 9, 2013
3/5 83% What Maisie Knew (2013) " The actors are all very good. Moore, in particular, has a frightening intensity. If Maisie can deal with this banshee, she's prepared for anything. " — Bloomberg News
Posted May 3, 2013
0.5/5 8% The Big Wedding (2013) " I didn't laugh at the racist jokes about brown-skinned Colombians or gasp at the revelation that a prissy woman is gay, though those tacky moments did at least break the torpor. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 26, 2013
3/5 68% Trance (2013) " Trance is a busy, glittering picture, but you never have much of a stake in the outlandish twists (unless you happen to take hypnotism very seriously)." — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 13, 2013
2/5 77% 42 (2013) " It consists largely of white men saying vile, racist things to the saintly ballplayer, who restrains his anger (just) before hitting it out of the park, to triumphant music by Mark Isham. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 13, 2013
4/5 89% The Angels' Share (2013) " Although the English director Ken Loach has been making socially conscious movies for close to 50 years, this shaggy comedy unfolds like the work of a young man on a lark. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 13, 2013
1.5/5 54% The Company You Keep (2013) " It's a perfectly terrible movie, full of bad dialogue, with all the major characters -- and there are quite a few -- staggering around under crises of conscience." — Bloomberg News
Posted Apr 5, 2013
3/5 81% Renoir (2013) " Implicitly the movie asks: Is beauty truth? Father and son supplied different answers. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Mar 28, 2013
3/5 96% Blancanieves (2013) " By the time Blancanieves has grown up and met the dwarves (who allow [writer-director Pablo] Berger to reference Buñuel and Fellini and, a bit predictably, 'Freaks'), the film has achieved stratospheric levels of weirdness." — Bloomberg News
Posted Mar 28, 2013
2.5/5 43% Admission (2013) " Katharine Hepburn used to specialize in supercompetent women who get their comeuppance and learn to be "womanly." Is this a lesson that still needs teaching? " — Bloomberg News
Posted Mar 22, 2013
3.5/5 79% Reality (2013) " It's an original: freakishly cheerful and bright -- the colors of dementia. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Mar 15, 2013
2/5 31% Emperor (2013) " Fox gets most of the screen time but has the misfortune to be acting opposite Tommy Lee Jones as the preening and crafty MacArthur. Jones's line readings are like Sinatra's phrasing: always surprising yet always apt. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Mar 7, 2013
1/5 25% Phantom (2013) " The writer-director, Todd Robinson, is eager to take on large themes. But he doesn't have the basic technique to make the story or the action (when there is some) comprehensible. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Feb 28, 2013
19% Inescapable (2013) " The movie could just as well be set in Islamabad, Nairobi or any city Westerners find threatening. (It was filmed, in fact, in Johannesburg.) It would look about right on a cable channel at 9 p.m. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Feb 21, 2013
58% Snitch (2013) " Dumb as it sounds, it zips along. Taking a stand against mandatory minimum sentences seems to have provided the director, Ric Roman Waugh, and the actors with a sense of purpose. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Feb 21, 2013
13% Safe Haven (2013) " Lasse Hallstrom directed. I can only hope he did it for the money. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Feb 21, 2013
30% The Berlin File (2013) " The movie offers just about all you could ask of a genre flick: poisonings, defections, a secret North Korean bank account, gloriously choreographed fights that go insanely over the top, febrile tension and doomy romance (but no sex). " — Bloomberg News
Posted Feb 21, 2013
45% Beautiful Creatures (2013) " Beautiful Creatures is scrumptious junk food that perhaps only a teenage audience can fully appreciate. I reverted to 14 as I watched, and ate it up. " — Bloomberg News
Posted Feb 21, 2013
71% eXistenZ (1999) " It's a pleasure to find the brooding Cronenberg turning out a trifle, even if it's a dark trifle." — Salon.com
