Love & Mercy
—10/5/2018
[I] immediately felt a sort of uncanny personal relationship to it: the characters, the sense of love in this really great struggle...a lot of pain. [Richard Ford] somehow wrote about this very difficult situation with a great amount of compassion.
The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005)
Miller freely uses the unusual as an allegory for the most usual of subjects: parentage and the rocky path from childhood to adulthood.
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
Pulls off the trick of the feel-good movie in a way movies haven't managed in a long time.
There Will Be Blood (2007)
Anderson's most mature and ambitious film yet...[though his] growth as a filmmaker remains hindered by an obsession with effect and a disinterest in depth.
Meek's Cutoff (2011)
An existential nightmare of maddening uncertainty, a notion only emphasized by Reichardt’s commitment to ambiguity.
Ruby Sparks (2012)
In a time of mind-numbing rom coms,
Ruby Sparks
uses fantasy to get real about modern romance.
Love & Mercy (2015)
Honorable...deeply moving...takes a considered approach to Wilson, sound in dramatic and editorial construction and insightful in its psychological subtexts.
Youth (2015)
For a long two hours, Sorrentino flatters old white men, devalues women, and annoys with his lush coffee-table-book photography as he plays his own 'Simple Songs' of frustrated old age and tantalizing youth...
Wildlife (2018)
First-time director Dano, who co-scripted with partner Zoe Kazan, has a knack for capturing quotidian daily struggles as well as moments of discovery that hearten or, more often, horrify.
The Batman (2022)
While retaining requisite elements of blockbuster action cinema...decidedly shifts the focus to pulp fiction...
The Batman
feels more like a Batman
story
than a Batman
movie
, and that's an achievement in itself.
