Hemingway & Gellhorn (2012) 49% EDIT “In almost every instance, the script and direction settle for the simplest, dullest explanation of its main characters' behavior, even when that's in direct contradiction of something mentioned earlier.” – Salon.com Jun 1, 2020 Full Review El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019) 92% EDIT “El Camino is a sumptuously shot, totally entertaining, somewhat needless, but sure-why-not elaboration of what has come before.” – Slate Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Amy Schumer: Live From the Apollo (2015) 90% EDIT “A pretty good set that, in this Schumer-saturated year, feels disappointing: decent, funny, inessential.” – Slate Jul 31, 2019 Full Review David Brent: Life on the Road (2016) 57% EDIT “Maudlin and unrealistic, it's also a lot less funny than what came before.” – Slate Feb 14, 2017 Full Review Amanda Knox (2016) 82% EDIT “For such a sedate film, Amanda Knox achieves a surprisingly moving climax.” – Slate Sep 30, 2016 Full Review Confirmation (2016) 84% EDIT “Confirmation is not a particularly good production, but it is gripping.” – Slate Apr 14, 2016 Full Review The Wiz Live! (2015) 91% EDIT “As much as Dorothy wants to go home, the Scarecrow needs a brain, the Tin-Man desires a heart, or the Cowardly Lion longs for a spine, NBC coveted a hit: The Wizard delivered.” – Slate Dec 4, 2015 Full Review The Normal Heart (2014) 94% EDIT “The Normal Heart is a blunt, effective instrument, a handsome, walloping cudgel that begins in gay paradise on the eve of the apocalypse: Fire Island, 1982.” – Slate May 22, 2014 Full Review Veronica Mars (2014) 80% EDIT “I don't know how much money Veronica Mars will make, or how much money it has to make to be deemed a success, but as means of fan-satisfaction it is a needle to a major vein.” – Slate Mar 13, 2014 Full Review Flowers in the Attic (2014) 52% EDIT “Flowers in the Attic acts as if it is just another life-affirming Lifetime movie about surviving terrible situations.” – Slate Jan 16, 2014 Full Review Clear History (2013) 59% EDIT “As the movie proceeds, it gains traction, first as a kind of pleasant alt-Woody Allen vehicle... and then as a well-modulated morality play.” – Slate Aug 8, 2013 Full Review Phil Spector (2013) 51% EDIT “Phil Spector is missing dramatic tension.” – Salon.com May 22, 2013 Full Review Behind the Candelabra (2013) 94% EDIT “[Soderbergh's] total avoidance of camp and his deeply sympathetic treatment of both major characters is a way... to make Liberace and Thorson people, not stereotypes.” – Salon.com May 22, 2013 Full Review EDIT “Top of the Lake, like the best crime series, is about so much more than solving a crime.” – Salon.com Mar 22, 2013 Full Review
