3.5/4
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) Scott A. Rosenberg It's just great to see Burton in vintage form.

3.5/4
Ant-Man (2015) Scott A. Rosenberg Ant-Man has a clear connection to the greater Marvel cinematic universe, but this is perhaps the most stand-alone film they've done.

4/4
The Irishman (2019) Robert Levin It's a return to this familiar milieu that is nonetheless powerfully different, with the energy of youth replaced by the melancholic wisdom of the decades that have passed.

2/4
The Laundromat (2019) Robert Levin It manages to muddle simple concepts in the process by being too cute with them and to meander when it should entertain, though a couple storylines have an absurdist flair to them when taken in miniature.

3.5/4
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) Robert Levin Tom Hanks, perfectly cast, delivers a performance that affects the serene, calming demeanor but complicates it by suggesting that even Mister Rogers struggles inside.

3/4
Judy (2019) Robert Levin There is one urgent reason to see this movie and that is to experience Renée Zellweger's performance as the icon.

4/4
Dolemite Is My Name (2019) Robert Levin You don't have to know a thing about Rudy Ray Moore, the subject of the rollicking biopic Dolemite Is My Name, to respond to the sheer blast of unfettered joy that emanates from the movie.

3/4
Hustlers (2019) Robert Levin A scathing satire of the fickleness of the American economy.
Posted Sep 10, 2019  Edit critic review
2.5/4
The Goldfinch (2019) Robert Levin Fortunately, director John Crowley and screenwriter Peter Straughan know their way around prestige material and the picture never feels like it's blatantly calculated for golden statues.

3.5/4
Honey Boy (2019) Robert Levin LaBeouf's performance as his own father is nothing short of monumental; he's a terrifying force in the way he dominates his son's life, but also deeply, tangibly broken.
Posted Sep 06, 2019  Edit critic review
Blinded by the Light (2019) Robert Levin The movie is alive with the feeling of being heard for the first time, and of how great music can make the world seem smaller and less foreboding.

2/4
After the Wedding (2019) Robert Levin ... just not a recipe for a compelling cinematic experience.
Posted Aug 08, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
7 Days in Hell (2015) Robert Levin This sort of sports documentary format, with its ridiculous elevation of athletic competition to a place of heightened significance, is ripe for this takedown.
Posted Aug 06, 2019  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019) Robert Levin This is a movie infused with a love for this place and this world, as well as an encyclopedic knowledge of it.
Posted Jul 25, 2019  Edit critic review
4/4
The Farewell (2019) Robert Levin The Farewell is a rare and rewarding gem, a movie that trades in pauses and silences and understands that it's the space in between that so often defines our lives.
Posted Jul 11, 2019  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Jurassic World (2015) Scott A. Rosenberg It's really all you want out of a Jurassic Park sequel: chills, spills, thrills and, of course, dinosaurs.
Posted Jul 10, 2019  Edit critic review
1.5/4
Shaft (2019) Robert Levin It is lazy and a shame. It is Shaft lite.
Posted Jun 21, 2019  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Cinderella (2015) Scott A. Rosenberg The movie has heart.
Posted Jun 14, 2019  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) Scott A. Rosenberg The acting is high quality all around, but it's really the apes that shine here.
Posted Jun 13, 2019  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) Scott A. Rosenberg There's a lot going on in the jam-packed 141-minute run time, but writer/director Joss Whedon knows how to tell a story and balances the fisticuffs with some tender and funny moments.
Posted Jun 13, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014) Scott A. Rosenberg It's easy to dismiss this film as food porn. But while the delicious-looking food is front and center, the film also overflows with charm, warmth and, OK, exquisite flavor. Bon appétit.

3/4
Spectre (2015) Scott A. Rosenberg With a two-and-a-half-hour runtime, Spectre is overstuffed, though it's rarely boring.
Posted Jun 13, 2019  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) Scott A. Rosenberg It's a superb, magical adventure and the perfect reset button for this franchise.

3.5/4
Paddington (2014) Scott A. Rosenberg This superb family film shines with a smart script and strong cast.
Posted Jun 13, 2019  Edit critic review
4/4
The Jungle Book (2016) Scott A. Rosenberg If studios are going to insist on making remakes of classic films, let's hope they all put in the care that Favreau and his team did with The Jungle Book.
Posted Jun 13, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
San Andreas (2015) Scott A. Rosenberg San Andreas thrives on its continual devastation. This is a vehicle for action, and a movie like this needs just enough character building to keep the stars interesting.
Posted Jun 13, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
Captain America: Civil War (2016) Scott A. Rosenberg Captain America: Civil War is another strong Marvel movie that balances fan service, strong storytelling and big action.
Posted Jun 13, 2019  Edit critic review
The Martian (2015) Scott A. Rosenberg This is a sci-fi film for people who don't like sci-fi films, while still remaining appealing for hard-core fans.
Posted Jun 13, 2019  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Deadpool (2016) Scott A. Rosenberg Deadpool is the product of a new breed of superhero - and I'm using that word lightly - movies that pushes the boundaries of the genre and delivers a new, unique take on the masked crime fighter.
Posted Jun 13, 2019  Edit critic review
4/4
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) Scott A. Rosenberg It's a film that fans will love, and a great model for future stand-alone movies in the franchise.
Posted Jun 13, 2019  Edit critic review
1/4
Domino (2019) Robert Levin It is so astonishingly amateurish on so many levels that it's hard to believe it's even real.
Posted Jun 01, 2019  Edit critic review
1/4
The Perfection (2018) Robert Levin There are no hard and fast rules dictating what a movie must be, but there are basic standards that this picture fails.
Posted May 30, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
The Souvenir (2019) Jordan Hoffman To call something "muted" may hardly seem like a compliment, but at a time when most movies are screaming their message, this quiet, observant character study is a much-needed respite.
Posted May 25, 2019  Edit critic review
Aniara (2018) Jordan Hoffman A gripping and unpredictable space ride.
Posted May 17, 2019  Edit critic review
2/4
The Hustle (2019) Robert Levin ...the actors further struggle because there's simply no consistency in this relationship, which shifts and transforms according to the whims of whatever might be needed at a particular moment.
Posted May 10, 2019  Edit critic review
Tolkien (2019) Jordan Hoffman As welcome as second breakfast.
Posted May 09, 2019  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Long Shot (2019) Robert Levin The biggest problem with what is otherwise a relatively pleasant and diverting experience is, again, the most basic one. No amount of free-spirited antics and humorous conversations could possibly sell the romance here.
Posted May 03, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
Meeting Gorbachev (2018) Robert Levin The story of his life is told in the long silences, the heavy pauses, the weary sighs and subtle gestures that Herzog provokes and the movie stands as a necessary and important work because of it.
Posted May 03, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
Her Smell (2018) Robert Levin Elisabeth Moss proves that she's among the most essential actors of her generation as punk rocker Becky Something.
Posted Apr 18, 2019  Edit critic review
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018) Robert Levin This isn't a movie about Toby or Javier or anything in its fictional world. It's about Gilliam, and it's worth celebrating, because in a world that's less than friendly to his type, the filmmaker's impossible dream is finally real.
Posted Apr 11, 2019  Edit critic review
Diane (2018) Jordan Hoffman A meticulously detailed portrait of the type of woman who never gets a movie made about her.
Posted Mar 29, 2019  Edit critic review
The Brink (2019) Jordan Hoffman They say victory has a hundred fathers, but Donald Trump's successful presidential campaign seems to have mostly drunk uncles.
Posted Mar 29, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
Us (2019) Robert Levin For all the ideas Peele nods toward, and all the moments of genuine suspense in a classical sense, it all comes back to Nyong'o.
Posted Mar 22, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
Captive State (2019) Robert Levin Captive State is crisply edited and propulsive, with a minimalist driving score that underlines the urgency and enhances the tension.
Posted Mar 21, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley (2019) Robert Levin If anything, this material is too rich for a single documentary.
Posted Mar 21, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
Triple Frontier (2019) Robert Levin From Isaac to Hunnam, [the actors] invest their characters with richer human qualities than the story probably required.
Posted Mar 15, 2019  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Gloria Bell (2018) Robert Levin Moore is constitutionally incapable of being less than terrific onscreen, but this is some of her finest work, a performance of shattering intelligence and consumate grace.
Posted Mar 09, 2019  Edit critic review
3/4
Greta (2018) Jordan Hoffman Despite a preposterous plot and some of the fakest on-screen New York in a while... it's hard not to love it.
Posted Mar 05, 2019  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Captain Marvel (2019) Scott A. Rosenberg The film does not really elevate beyond the space hero tropes it is built on...Captain Marvel offers some fun surprises and twists, but it unfolds in a predictable way.
Posted Mar 05, 2019  Edit critic review
4/4
Apollo 11 (2019) Robert Levin Apollo 11 is nothing short of a miracle, in which the filmmaker Todd Douglas Miller crafts a vast amount of unseen NASA footage surrounding the moon landing into a gripping thriller and tribute to American enterprise.
