Fans of all things '80s rejoice! Spielberg's adaptation is a kinetic and nostalgia-drenched valentine to Easter eggs and pop culture.
Categorizing this indie flick "Flower" is difficult - mostly because this film simply cannot decide what it is or where its story is going.
Steven Soderbergh's unorthodox psychological horror is a deeply engaging thriller -- until the mystery is deflated way too early.
A pair of stand-out lead performances and a nuanced screenplay highlight this melancholic and deliberately-paced indie drama.
Given the erratic and jarring nature of this adaptation, the source material must be nigh unfilmable. Cramming all the world-building, heady metaphysical themes and astrophysics simply results in a movie that, at best, feels rushed and at worst, is ham-handed and clunky.
There are films that achieve the fragile dream-like experience - then there are films that force approximations of the surreal. This sci-fi thriller is the latter.
The combination of an outright badass lead performance and a sharply-honed Aaron Sorkin screenplay makes this biographical drama one of most entertaining films of the season.
Beautiful performances and eloquent backdrop are wasted on a love story ... that forgets to establish two characters in love.
Ideas alone do not equate to great stories. This hollow, high-concept slog is propped up by a meager peppering of intriguing conceits and supported by virtually nothing resembling storytelling.
Bold and visually stunning, this animated masterpiece is a breathtaking and audacious impressionistic tribute to the famed Dutch artist.
A surprisingly touching journey to capture easily overlooked profundity from the deceptively mundane trappings of daily life.
This unpretentious vignette of genuine, melodrama-free moments is an authentic exploration of mourning and starting anew.
Sometimes greatness is saying what needs to be said when it is imperative to say it. Spielberg's latest is his best film in decades and a timely celebration of hard journalism.
A breathtaking story in her own words with her own footage - that of a fresh-faced researcher dealing with the challenges of her groundbreaking studies as well as the demands of her roles as a wife and mother.
James Franco's magnum opus celebrates and pokes fun at the best "worst" film ever made.
This is a slow burn of a psychological horror flick - one that hints at a darkness within its guileless protagonist.
While not among Woody Allen's worst films, "Wonder Wheel" is far from his strongest offering.
The disappointment of this melancholic meditation on duty and sacrifice is its thoughtful moments are almost lost in a meandering story riddled with questionable plot choices, stuffed into a movie that is longer than it should be.
It is strange to laud a film's strong performances, sharp screenplay and confident direction - and still not love the film as a whole.
Set against the lawless American frontier and powered by a commanding lead turn, this Western drama examines the emotional toll war and violence has on soldiers and those caught in the crossfire of battle.
