Critic Reviews

“An invitation to come for the music and STAY for the fandom, this isn't just a concert film, but an emotional immersion into the evolution of the next-gen boy band.”

“… The Adding Machine doesn’t quite add up as a film, but it has museum piece value…there’s something haunting about Zero’s denial of what might be best for himself that haunts the mind…”

“...the movie’s artful direction, nimble structure, visual richness and impeccable performances make for something full-bodied, compelling and deeply affecting, its melancholy beauty lingering long after the end credits roll.”

“Concession counters should be prepared for the accompanying deluge; after subjecting audiences to two hours of mouthwatering temptation, they could probably sell the stuff by the vat.”

“A truly astonishing exercise in retro-Gallic nostalgia. I kept gagging on this treacly fantasy as I haven't done since poor Ms. Caron played opposite Horst Buchholz in Joshua Logan's screen version of "Fanny."”

“A little of this magic goes a long way, and the story's dramatic conflict is a stacked deck leading to predictable conclusions. But given the season, Chocolat is a charming trifle.”

“At the fadeout, one leaves Chocolat with the same uncomfortably overstuffed feeling that results from compulsively devouring an entire pan of fudge.”

“[Juliette Binoche] possesses that quality which the ancients called "radiance" and studio bosses name "star quality." And here's another quality she shares with this film's central conceit: taste.”

“Charming, witty and sophisticated, Chocolat is a sweet addition to the holiday movie slate of lukewarm romantic comedies and over-budgeted action pictures. It's a small story told in grand fashion, with a splendid sense of time and place.”

“Gorgeously shot and beautifully mixes the colors that Italian horror became famous for in the 1970s and ’80s with an all encompassing atmosphere of horror.”

“With each moment of gathering darkness, the film etches a vivid portrait of a family — and country — scarred by the past yet facing the future with grim determination and a touch of unrealistic optimism.”

“[A] poignant exploration of fatherhood and memory that marks an engrossing debut from Davies Jr.”

“I loved it, and I have this sneaky suspicion my affinity for Arnold’s breathlessly austere adaptation will only grow as the years go by.”

“Flynn is typically fine, but this isn't one of his best efforts in the Western genre.”

“Great truths come from a simple story, making My Father’s Shadow a picture you won’t be able to stop thinking about.”

“Viewed through a modern lens, especially given today’s advanced special effects, "Battle in Outer Space" clearly shows its age. Yet that very dated quality gives it cult appeal, making it essential viewing for genre fans.”

“Ultimately, despite its flaws and its significant departure from the source material, "Out" emerges as a competent and engaging work that conveys its thematic concerns with clarity while remaining entertaining for most of its running time.”

“For all of the tough talk from Williams on podcasts and onstage, he’s also equally bold in this hour about wanting to make his audiences feel better about themselves.”

“What could feel contrived emerges as elegant and honestly felt, a study not just of the tumult that often produces great art, but the silence too.”

“...the movie fizzles out substantially as it passes the one-hour mark...”

“The movie is a charming, funny update of a very old story, and Ringwald gives a fine performance, but somehow the picture never quite reaches the heights.”

“Cinderella going to the ball is, after all, the ultimate prom story. So it's no wonder that Pretty in Pink—a silly-sweet teen update—comes off like a hip fairy tale.”

“Another of [Hughes]' glimpses into contemporary teenage life that is certain to find a young audience eagerly waiting its arrival. They will not be disappointed.”

“What Pretty in Pink does with these constituent characters and problems is to emphasize the stereotypes inherent in them.”

“There are some good lines and uniformly strong performances.”

“It was written for Ringwald and she shines.”

“This elusive, ruminative and very absorbing movie presents its successive scenes like a sequence of unresolved chords carrying the listener on a journey without a destination...”

“It’s pure, joyful cartooning, the likes of which has no expiry date.”

“Set against a backdrop of real-life sociopolitical tension and government corruption, this coming-of-age drama finds a tender poignancy through its expressive performances.”
