Summer in the Forest (2017) 92% 3/4 EDIT “Director Randall Wright keeps things simple. Nothing much happens, really, but the film's optimistic take on life is like an easygoing stroll through a verdant forest. It's invigorating.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Kill Me Three Times (2014) 15% 2/4 EDIT “It's nice to see Pegg stretch a little and play the bad guy. Too bad "Kill Me Three Times" doesn't give him better material.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Effie Gray (2014) 43% 3/4 EDIT “Fanning is a worthy muse for Thompson. She has developed into an actress who can convey considerable depth and feeling behind those haunting pale blue eyes.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 2, 2015 Full Review A Girl Like Her (2015) 65% 1/4 EDIT “A weepy and cliche-ridden misfire better suited for a midafternoon time slot on Nickelodeon than the big screen.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 26, 2015 Full Review The Hunting Ground (2015) 93% 2/4 EDIT “As a call to action, "The Hunting Ground" truly goes to bat for rape survivors. As a documentary, the movie as a whole is much lesser than its individual parts.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 12, 2015 Full Review The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015) 67% 3/4 EDIT “The acting of course is first-rate, and the movie mostly preserves the original warmth and wit of the original.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 5, 2015 Full Review The Salvation (2014) 72% 2/4 EDIT “"The Salvation" is one of those movies that deservedly (and desperately) requires a do-over. Unfortunately, what you see is what you get.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 5, 2015 Full Review Seventh Son (2014) 12% 2/4 EDIT “At least Moore has not played a character like Malkin in recent memory. The same cannot be said for Bridges, whose flawed, alcoholic hero shtick is starting to wear thin.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 5, 2015 Full Review Project Almanac (2015) 38% 2/4 EDIT “I found it hard to care about anybody, when I wasn't too busy trying not to get sick anyway.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 29, 2015 Full Review The Boy Next Door (2015) 12% 1/4 EDIT “Why Lopez decided to do this inept, cliche-infested film is anyone's guess.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 22, 2015 Full Review The Babadook (2014) 98% 3/4 EDIT “At its heart, "The Babadook" is a story of mother and son, whose relationship ultimately determines whether they survive the demon - or die trying.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 15, 2015 Full Review Spare Parts (2015) 58% 2/4 EDIT “If "Stand and Deliver" struck many as a hard-hitting look at life in the urban ghetto, "Spare Parts" seems like a Disney after-school special by comparison.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 15, 2015 Full Review Predestination (2014) 84% 2/4 EDIT “"Predestination" is too clever for its own good, a film that relies on schtick and gimmicks rather than honest storytelling.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 8, 2015 Full Review Goodbye to Language (2014) 88% 1/4 EDIT “"Goodbye to Language" seems like an appropriate title if it's meant to suggest that logic and sanity have completely disappeared from this world.” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 13, 2014 Full Review Citizenfour (2014) 96% 4/4 EDIT “Despite the film's virtues, we're no closer to understanding Snowden than we were a year ago when this saga began.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 23, 2014 Full Review Listen Up Philip (2014) 82% 1/4 EDIT “"Listen Up Philip" wants to say something meaningful about human relationships. But like a frustrated writer staring at a blank piece of paper, the words just never appear.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 23, 2014 Full Review Lilting (2014) 82% 3/4 EDIT “Guilt hangs over "Lilting," a suffocating haze so thick that it permeates every unspoken, non-understood word between characters trying to traverse a frustrating gulf of language and grief.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 16, 2014 Full Review I Am Eleven (2014) 83% 3/4 EDIT “What emerges is a group of kids who are generally content but must confront the often confusing time between childhood and adolescence.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 29, 2014 Full Review Tusk (2014) 45% 2/4 EDIT “You don't feel like you wasted your time with "Tusk." But that's the best compliment you can probably give a film like this.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 18, 2014 Full Review The Skeleton Twins (2014) 86% 3/4 EDIT “Hader and Wiig give rich, nuanced performances that reflect the chemistry the two actors honed together from their years on Saturday Night Live.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 12, 2014 Full Review Take Me to the River (2014) 73% 2/4 EDIT “"Take Me to the River" falls woefully short on offering a serious contribution to the history of African American-inspired music.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 11, 2014 Full Review Innocence (2013) 20% 2/4 EDIT “When you consider the source material, the film's flaws become too great to ignore.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 4, 2014 Full Review A Letter to Momo (2011) 80% 1/4 EDIT “It's difficult to imagine any children's movie retaining the attention of its intended audience for two hours, but this movie feels especially monotonous.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 4, 2014 Full Review Land Ho! (2014) 82% 2/4 EDIT “You realize fairly early in the film that there will be no emotional payoff. Just an hour and a half of vacation photos in motion.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jul 24, 2014 Full Review
