Michael Stuhlbarg
A Serious Man (2009)
Men in Black 3 (2012)
Has no MSG. I mention this because many will probably want to make a meal of it and, it should be said, it's both pretty tasty and will leave you feeling hungry an hour later...
Hitchcock (2012)
Reenactment cinema...On balance,
Hitchcock
is about as entertaining and as trustworthy as a tabloid.
Pawn Sacrifice (2015)
Maguire isn’t obvious casting, but he convincingly owns the role...The actor pairs an oft-fevered, disheveled aspect with the fierce impatience and unwillingness to suffer fools that attend genius.
Trumbo (2015)
Plays not as straight hagiography but rather as a portrait of a flawed hero...Cranston gives a floridly theatrical leading performance in keeping with Trumbo’s wit...
Miles Ahead (2015)
Not everyone will agree with how Cheadle answers the key questions, but only a fool would say his take lacks creativity, heart, energy, and a gutsy willingness to take risks (as Davis says in the film, 'Be wrong strong').
Doctor Strange (2016)
Doctor Strange
looks at urban architecture through a twisting digital kaleidoscope, next-stepping from
Inception
to an M.C. Escher-esque action aesthetic that amounts to three-dimensional chess.
Miss Sloane (2016)
[Not] a truly thoughtful and credible treatment of the unpleasant realities of Washington lobbying...[but] a hothouse melodrama that teases an ice queen’s meltdown while actually doing the hustle.
Call Me by Your Name (2017)
Guadagnino has coaxed from his cast a film unmatched this year for lifelike rhythms and attention to human behavior.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
A legit comeback for Raimi...He meets the moment with the good ol' Raimi dynamism and winking movie-love savvy.
