Tim Roth
Tim Roth—
Youth Without Youth
—12/05/07
Tim Roth: 'Most of what you're trying to do as an actor--I'd say ninety percent--is convince the audience that the dialogue is better than it is. So...you're running a con job on the audience.'
Dark Water (2005)
Though
Dark Water
doesn't run deep....Salles keeps his head above [it]...with superior acting, mise en scene, story, script, and photography.
The Beautiful Country (2005)
If Moland is a bit more interested in romantic melodrama than anthropology, the plight of the refugee still makes the intended emotional impact.
Youth Without Youth (2007)
Funny Games (2008)
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
The Incredible Hulk
gets 'er done, but while "Hulk smash!" is essential, it's also undeniably uninteresting when handed over to a computer.
Lie to Me: Season One (2009)
In casting the great Tim Roth as psychologist Dr. Cal Lightman,
Lie to Me
won the added value of a weekly master class in acting.
Pulp Fiction (1994)
A balls-out postmodern comedy
par excellence
. It's a Royale with Cheese.
Arbitrage (2012)
Playing a character that's almost entirely unsympathetic, Gere demonstrates the outward charm that's allowed Miller to accumulate his wealth and status, as well as the abyss-staring soul his showmanship conceals.
Selma (2015)
Selma
is wet paint Americans (especially young ones) had probably best watch dry, as we remember the past and contemplate where the country goes from here.
The Hateful Eight (2015)
[A] general absence of something to say...Recycles the filmmaker’s own work: the leaner if no meaner dog-eat-dog plotting of
Reservoir Dogs
...and a roster of no-longer-shocking offenses...
Luce (2019)
Luce
primarily concerns itself with African-American identity, plagued by withering lowdown stereotypes and polar-opposite pressures...In some ways, the film’s subtle political satire proves even more distressing.
