You Don't Know Jack (2010) 83% EDIT “By the end of the film, viewers still may not be sure what makes Jack tick. But you'll have a better sense of Al, one of the premier actors of our time.” – Boston Herald Aug 10, 2020 Full Review The Girl (2012) 70% EDIT “It puts viewers in Hitchcock's seat. You'll flinch at some of the degradation.” – Boston Herald Aug 5, 2020 Full Review Temple Grandin (2010) 100% EDIT “I keep coming back to Ormond, who can be heartbreaking as the mother who yearns for the hug she will never get but is nonetheless determined that her child's potential will be realized.” – Boston Herald Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Cinema Verite (2011) 61% EDIT “Additional time would have made "Verite" more convincing. At 90 minutes, it runs short, especially as the family copes with its newfound notoriety.” – Boston Herald Jun 4, 2020 Full Review Hemingway & Gellhorn (2012) 49% EDIT “Writers Jerry Stahl and Barbara Turner's arch dialogue suggests an attempt to re-create a film noir or a Bogey-and-Bacall dynamic, but the two end up sounding more like "Bullwinkle's" Boris and Natasha.” – Boston Herald Jun 1, 2020 Full Review Prayers for Bobby (2009) 73% EDIT “Here's the obvious question: What is Sigourney Weaver doing in a Lifetime movie? Answer: Giving one heartrending performance.” – Boston Herald Oct 15, 2019 Full Review Deadwood: The Movie (2019) 98% B+ EDIT “Sometimes it's only when you find something that you realize how much you've missed it. Contradictory, I know, but it sums up my feelings about watching Deadwood: The Movie.” – Boston Herald May 28, 2019 Full Review ReMastered: The Two Killings of Sam Cooke (2019) 100% B EDIT “The fact that it accomplishes so much in less than 90 minutes is a testament to the love and respect Cooke still inspires.” – Boston Herald Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Song of Parkland (2019) 80% B- EDIT “Too darn short.” – Boston Herald Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Rent Live (2019) 27% EDIT “Someday, some network will deliver an unforgettable "Rent" to viewers. This, alas, wasn't it.” – Boston Herald Jan 28, 2019 Full Review Icebox (2018) 100% B- EDIT “To writer and director Daniel Sawka's credit, the film ends on a poignant note, but it's hard to find any hope in this story. Oscar's uncertain journey shows no sign of ever ending, not for the rest of his life. In that, "Icebox" chills.” – Boston Herald Dec 8, 2018 Full Review The Truth About Killer Robots (2018) 64% EDIT “Killer feels lurid, thanks to creepy music and editing. That betrays and trivializes some serious issues.” – Boston Herald Nov 26, 2018 Full Review My Dinner With HervĂ© (2018) 83% B+ EDIT “But the film is mostly a dance between Dinklage and Dornan, who rises to the occasion and gives the best performance of his career as a man struggling to hang on to his sobriety even as he's dragged through a hell of Los Angeles.” – Boston Herald Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind (2018) 94% EDIT “The film reminds us of one great, humbling truth: Every one of us is fighting a battle that no one knows anything about.” – Boston Herald Jul 16, 2018 Full Review Too Big to Fail (2011) 77% EDIT “As gripping as any episode of "24" in its heyday...” – Boston Herald Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Fahrenheit 451 (2018) 31% EDIT “HBO's adaptation of Ray Bradbury's classic "Fahrenheit 451" ultimately loses the plot.” – Boston Herald May 30, 2018 Full Review Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) 93% EDIT “"Picnic at Hanging Rock" is lush, gorgeous, Gothic and at times plotted tighter than a corset.” – Boston Herald May 30, 2018 Full Review Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert (2018) 100% EDIT “The ensemble players were the unsung heroes of the night, throwing themselves into every exhausting, frenetic number.” – Boston Herald Apr 3, 2018 Full Review Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds (2016) 100% B+ EDIT “Many of those mourning the deaths last week of "Star Wars" icon Carrie Fisher and her mother and Hollywood legend Debbie Reynolds feel as if they've lost good friends. The HBO documentary ... helps explain that grief.” – Boston Herald Dec 28, 2017 Full Review Dirty Dancing (2017) 19% D EDIT “Dirty Dancing is 30 years old. To celebrate, ABC has decided to stomp all over your memories of the beloved film.” – Boston Herald May 25, 2017 Full Review The Wizard of Lies (2017) 73% C EDIT “When Bernie finally asks whether an attentive reporter thinks he's a sociopath, there's no need for an answer. The film has already clobbered you over the head with the obvious.” – Boston Herald May 18, 2017 Full Review American Jihad (2017) 100% B EDIT “Showtime's American Jihad drops you down a dark rabbit hole as it explores the lives of several homegrown terrorists, including the Tsarnaev brothers, responsible for the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.” – Boston Herald Mar 23, 2017 Full Review Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing (2016) 90% A- EDIT “Watch it. Give yourself time for a good cry and to have your faith reaffirmed about the incredible city we call home.” – Boston Herald Nov 22, 2016 Full Review The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again (2016) 29% EDIT “Fox's creaky re-imagining of the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show misses the point about what makes the original so beloved.” – Boston Herald Oct 21, 2016 Full Review Killing Reagan (2016) 63% B+ EDIT “Director Rod Lurie does a masterful job of serving the story and the emotions without sentimentality.” – Boston Herald Oct 17, 2016 Full Review
