The French director's follow-up to his Oscar-winning silent movie comedy, The Artist, is everything The Artist was not: long, unoriginal and heavy-handed. Mar 12, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Oscar winner Michel Hazanavicius makes a 180-degree shift from the effervescent charms of 'The Artist' with this grueling, lumbering and didactic war picture. May 21, 2014 | Full Review…

The Search is a film with sincerity and commitment, and an earnest rejection of the horror of war. But sentimentality is at its core. May 21, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Trying desperately to be provocative (it's not), the only feeling it leaves you with is indignation that you wasted any time on such an insulting mess. Nov 5, 2017 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Yes, it may not live up to Fred Zinneman's 1948 film on which it's loosely based, but it's strong and powerful all the same: a film where it's clear the director is in complete control. Mar 12, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

After winning the Oscar for his glorified trinket The Artist, Hazanavicius throws a spotlight on human rights horrors. His well-intentioned children-in-peril story, set during the second Chechen war, is periodically moving but unwieldy and heavy-handed. Mar 12, 2015 | Rating: 2/5

The film's only arresting aspect is its takedown of the Russian military: homophobic, racist, xenophobic, and barbaric. Jul 9, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

...the film as a whole is tepid and familiar enough that it's hard to even find much to salvage in the acting. May 22, 2014 | Rating: D | Full Review…
