Bodyguard (2011) 29% 2/5 EDIT “A twist near the end sends this contrived movie into a maudlin stratosphere from which it doesn't recover.” – New York Times Mar 21, 2023 Full Review In Bed with Ulysses (2012) 86% EDIT “The movie lets fresh air into "Ulysses" like a gust from the Irish Sea.” – New York Times Oct 4, 2021 Full Review Bright (2017) 26% EDIT “The result is a loud, ungainly hybrid that does not serve police procedurals or fantasy spectaculars very well.” – New York Times Dec 21, 2017 Full Review Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds (2017) 70% EDIT “It all proves exasperating, and yet, yes, a sequel is teased at the end.” – New York Times Dec 21, 2017 Full Review Soufra (2017) 100% EDIT “A stirring tale of empowerment, the documentary "Soufra" shows how societal change can begin with small steps.” – New York Times Dec 14, 2017 Full Review Sundowners (2017) 70% EDIT “Closure may be missing, but at least glimpses of promising Canadian performers are in abundant supply.” – New York Times Dec 14, 2017 Full Review Big Time (2017) 85% EDIT “Mr. Schroder's film seems expressly designed to further burnish Mr. Ingels's reputation.” – New York Times Nov 30, 2017 Full Review I Remember You (2017) 89% EDIT “Transcends genre pyrotechnics even as it incorporates elements of Nordic noir.” – New York Times Nov 9, 2017 Full Review Hello Again (2017) 29% EDIT “This is a commendably audacious effort by Mr. Gustafson ("Were the World Mine"). The movie musical needs more ambitious creators like him.” – New York Times Nov 7, 2017 Full Review Most Beautiful Island (2017) 94% EDIT “A modest but effective writing-directing debut for Ms. Asensio, who also stars.” – New York Times Nov 2, 2017 Full Review It Happened in L.A. (2017) 65% EDIT “Michelle Morgan's It Happened in L.A. is an ensemble comedy aspiring to wordy Woody Allen sophistication but lacking serious political or satirical bite. And yet, glimmers of promise abound.” – New York Times Nov 2, 2017 Full Review Bill Nye: Science Guy (2017) 100% EDIT “[A] delightful, revealing documentary ...” – New York Times Oct 26, 2017 Full Review Only the Brave (2017) 87% EDIT “This may not be a story of triumph, but it's inspiring nevertheless.” – New York Times Oct 19, 2017 Full Review The Osiris Child (2016) 60% EDIT “A cellblock riot, a spaceship dogfight, a bar brawl, a hospital trauma, violent encounters with C.G.I. beasts - there is little Mr. Abbess won't toss into this delirious, overheated stew.” – New York Times Oct 5, 2017 Full Review The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin (2017) 92% EDIT “For all his distinguished man-of-letters status, he is warm and winning company.” – New York Times Sep 28, 2017 Full Review Literally, Right Before Aaron (2017) 21% EDIT “The problem here is Mr. Long's Adam, a twitchy knot of tics and self-pity. He invites our sympathy - especially when contrasted with the smarmy Aaron - but doesn't really deserve it.” – New York Times Sep 28, 2017 Full Review Clive Davis: The Soundtrack of Our Lives (2017) 82% EDIT “A valedictory for Mr. Davis, the music executive whose Midas touch with radio hits across genres - especially at Arista Records, from 1975-2000 - is industry legend.” – New York Times Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Wetlands (2017) 40% EDIT “As the haunted Babs, Mr. Akinnuoye-Agbaje has an imposing physicality and understated nobility, while Ms. Graham fleshes out the resolute if underwritten Savannah.” – New York Times Sep 14, 2017 Full Review Woodpeckers (2017) 80% EDIT “Jos Mara Cabral's arresting drama "Woodpeckers (Carpinteros)" could be called love in a pressure cooker, but that would be understating its vivid textures and palpable vitality.” – New York Times Sep 14, 2017 Full Review The Farthest (2017) 100% EDIT “The accounts of scientists, whose enthusiasm still glows, is as wondrous as the technology seen here.” – New York Times Aug 10, 2017 Full Review A Taxi Driver (2017) 97% EDIT “An affecting what-if tale.” – New York Times Aug 10, 2017 Full Review The Battleship Island (2017) 67% EDIT “Though Mr. Ryoo's taste for heightened theatricality threatens his story's credibility at times, there is no denying his skill with a large-scale action set piece.” – New York Times Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Armed Response (2017) 0% EDIT “The possibilities are intriguing, but the characters are underdrawn, and the pacing lags.” – New York Times Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Our Time Will Come (2017) 94% EDIT “It's Fang's transformation, embodied by Ms. Zhou's lean, cool authority, that carries the most weight, lending the proceedings an unforced feminist dimension, and reaffirming Ms. Hui's status as one of China's cinematic treasures.” – New York Times Jul 6, 2017 Full Review Despicable Me 3 (2017) 58% EDIT “The latest animated "Despicable Me" outing shows signs of wear even as its energy level escalates.” – New York Times Jun 29, 2017 Full Review
