Emily Blunt
My Summer of Love (2005)
Press and Blunt['s] characterizations are expressively detailed and never rely on declamatory dialogue or excessive behavior.
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
If it rarely becomes more than a conventional Hollywood movie with conventional conflicts, at least it remembers to amuse, and has a force of nature in Streep.
Sunshine (2007)
There is nothing new under the sun, but at least the talented Boyle still brings the heat.
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)
Dan in Real Life (2007)
Sunshine Cleaning (2009)
The sort of movie you root for, hoping it’ll break through to be something special. It never quite does, but it still has the not-insignificant value of two fine actresses cast as sisters.
The Adjustment Bureau (2011)
The Adjustment Bureau (2011)
As interpreted by first-time director George Nolfi (screenwriter of
The Bourne Ultimatum
), Dick's story transforms into an endearingly silly allegory of the mysterious interaction of free will and fate.
Gnomeo & Juliet (2011)
And thus the old joke has finally been fulfilled of someone pitching
Romeo and Juliet
to Hollywood and hearing in response, 'Couldn't they live at the end? I mean, it's kind of a downer.'
The Five-Year Engagement (2012)
Pessimism, sweetness, raunch and loopiness make for a pleasantly offbeat blend.
Your Sister's Sister (2011)
Turns out not to be heady in theme and may not linger long after viewing, but it's still an enjoyable emotional wringer to be put through, in the company of a well-matched trio of actors.
The Wind Rises (2013)
As much as it deeply understands the artistic mindset of a driven creator, it also acknowledges the darker implications of a genius' tunnel vision.
Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
A fairly eye-popping futuristic war story with a clever (to a point) structure.
Into the Woods (2014)
Mutlilayered...Though any film adaptation of a classic musical is bound to be a mixed bag, Sondheim fans have dodged another bullet here with this impressive transplant, one that retains the play's complicated moral character along with most of its music.
The Girl on the Train (2016)
A mental-health exploitation picture.
A Quiet Place (2018)
There’s plenty...that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny and even more that feels conspicuously derivative. But tell that to your pants as you pee them.
