Eddie Redmayne
The Good Shepherd (2006)
The film finally resembles nothing so much as its most persistent symbol: an objet d'art crafted to impress with empty trickery.
The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)
The film gets a full 'This is a work of fiction' disclaimer, even noting that any resemblance to any person living or dead is unintentional. That tells you something about how much trust to put in these historical CliffsNotes.
Savage Grace (2008)
Disturbing in the extreme,
Savage Grace
gives a guided history tour of a family as dysfunctional as they come.
My Week with Marilyn (2011)
Williams is better than the picture, but within the screenplay's constraints, she nails every possible nuance of physical and emotional expression. It's dazzling work, and reason alone to spend ninety-nine minutes 'with Marilyn.'
Les Misérables (2012)
A mixed bag of suitable and not-so-suitable choices. On balance, though, it's about as compelling a screen version of
Les Mis
as we have any right to expect...Pop a dramamine and you'll be fine.
The Theory of Everything (2014)
With its equation tantalizingly out of reach, winds up being by the numbers.
Jupiter Ascending (2015)
To the extent we still demand rich characters and sensible plotting, the Wachowskis' latest is a few planets short of a galaxy.
The Danish Girl (2015)
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)
I have heard the cash cow moo...the sort of movie many will feel obliged to like more than they actually want to clamor right back onto the ride.
