The 15:17 to Paris (2018) 24% D EDIT “Eastwood seems to be reaching for some level of realism, but when every single interaction feels like half-coded AI tried to recreate bro talk, it's clear that a mistake has been made.” – Entertainment Weekly Feb 8, 2018 Full Review Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017) 64% C EDIT “The film's main conflict is with its source material, twisting and wringing Milne's life for everything it's worth and hoping enough is squeezed out to qualify as a film.” – Entertainment Weekly Oct 13, 2017 Full Review Spielberg (2017) 91% B+ EDIT “A totally effective guided tour of his life and works, playing all of the greatest hits along the way, but it's also a relatively safe one, choosing to speed past some notable disappointments.” – Entertainment Weekly Oct 6, 2017 Full Review Good Time (2017) 91% A- EDIT “Plays out like a drug cocktail of Martin Scorsese's After Hours and a Michael Mann-directed acid trip.” – Entertainment Weekly Aug 10, 2017 Full Review King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) 31% C+ EDIT “King Arthur could have been a rollicking blast. Instead it's just another wannabe blockbuster with too much flash and not enough soul.” – Entertainment Weekly May 9, 2017 Full Review Alien: Covenant (2017) 65% B+ EDIT “Alien: Covenant indulges in a spectacle that's been missing from summer movies for the past decade or so. It grosses you out and then laughs at you while you puke (not literally).” – Entertainment Weekly May 7, 2017 Full Review Burning Sands (2017) 88% B EDIT “There's something powerful even in its predictability-will things go too far? Does the Pope wear a pointy hat?-and in Jackson's fierce, quietly forceful performance.” – Entertainment Weekly Mar 9, 2017 Full Review Best and Most Beautiful Things (2016) 81% B EDIT “The film's overall effect lets the person - not the condition - be the real story, one that's worth sharing.” – Entertainment Weekly Dec 1, 2016 Full Review The Handmaiden (2016) 96% A- EDIT “Director Park Chan-wook has always had a stunningly cinematic eye, but he's better known for gouging someone else's out. In The Handmaiden, he demonstrates a lightness and humor unseen in his previous work.” – Entertainment Weekly Oct 20, 2016 Full Review Tower (2016) 99% A- EDIT “Tower allies itself with the heroes on the ground and the immeasurable courage they displayed, risking everything for the sake of strangers. That's a story worth telling, one worth remembering, and what makes Tower a must-see.” – Entertainment Weekly Oct 12, 2016 Full Review Voyage of Time: The IMAX Experience (2016) 90% C+ EDIT “Voyage of Time is a beautiful diversion, but almost entirely empty, even in its inquisitive big swings for profundity.” – Entertainment Weekly Oct 7, 2016 Full Review Amanda Knox (2016) 82% B+ EDIT “What you end up with are portraits of individuals - people who are scared or angry or ambitious - all a part of a story that, from the start, ignored their humanity.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 29, 2016 Full Review My Blind Brother (2016) 80% C- EDIT “Though My Blind Brother clearly isn't aiming for the feel-good realm, the emotions never ring true enough to make any of the purposely flawed leads relatable, never mind likable.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Blair Witch (2016) 38% B EDIT “Blair Witch manages to strike a balance between pleasing the fans of the 1999 found-footage film and working as a Friday night at the multiplex, mainly by sticking to the principle that what you don't see will always be scarier.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 15, 2016 Full Review Bridget Jones's Baby (2016) 78% B+ EDIT “The proceedings may be typical for Bridget and the series, but it's all played so earnestly that it's difficult to hold a grudge.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 5, 2016 Full Review Yoga Hosers (2016) 26% D- EDIT “Smith seems to have soured to the idea of making films for anyone outside his circle of fans, podcast co-hosts, and family members. Yoga Hosers, the latest feature-length podcast digression from Smith, proves how small that circle really is.” – Entertainment Weekly Sep 1, 2016 Full Review The Intervention (2016) 78% B EDIT “The script wobbles between heavy-handed and touching, but the result is a pleasantly nostalgic throwback that's saved from its copy-cat tendencies by charismatic actors.” – Entertainment Weekly Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Little Men (2016) 97% B+ EDIT “The restrained script from Sachs and co-writer Mauricio Zacharias takes these boys seriously, without one whiff of condescension, and places value in life's mundane miracles, like forgiveness and the love of a true friend.” – Entertainment Weekly Aug 4, 2016 Full Review Nerve (2016) 66% B- EDIT “The perils of social media may be ripe for the after-school-special treatment, but less expectedly, they make for a half-decent Hunger Games riff.” – Entertainment Weekly Jul 26, 2016 Full Review The Neon Demon (2016) 59% D+ EDIT “The ending will shock just about everyone, but to what end? Neon Demon is as beautiful and empty as the industry it sends up.” – Entertainment Weekly Jun 23, 2016 Full Review Special Correspondents (2016) 16% C- EDIT “What Gervais may have previously turned into a pointed satire of the news media instead becomes a flimsy farce that's surprisingly low on laughs.” – Entertainment Weekly Apr 28, 2016 Full Review Knight of Cups (2015) 47% C- EDIT “At every turn, the film shakes off each attempt a viewer makes to cling to it.” – Entertainment Weekly Mar 2, 2016 Full Review Theeb (2014) 97% B+ EDIT “The effectiveness of the story hinges largely on Al-Hwietat, whose performance is both convincing wide-eyed and complex.” – Entertainment Weekly Feb 20, 2016 Full Review The Club (2015) 88% B EDIT “Harrowing and heartbreaking, making for a difficult watch that will reward those with saintly patience.” – Entertainment Weekly Feb 9, 2016 Full Review 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) 51% C+ EDIT “Bay works best with chaos. There's no shortage of that here. It's getting from fire fight to fire fight that's the problem, lending the film a video game-like structure that grows repetitive in the back half.” – Entertainment Weekly Jan 14, 2016 Full Review
