Review of The Little Hours (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 28 Jun 2017

Anachronism, as it turns out, is the guiding force of this frequently funny, agreeably bawdy farce, which imagines what a convent of the grubby,…

Review of Baby Driver (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 26 Jun 2017

Like Baby, Wright just wants to feel the music. He makes us feel it, too, one spectacular pleasure high after another…

Review of The Beguiled (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 22 Jun 2017

What this Beguiled has done is deepen the material’s implicit wellsprings of loneliness and longing, mitigating some of the inherent sexism…

Review of Cars 3 (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 13 Jun 2017

The best thing that can be said about Cars 3, the studio’s dispiritingly formulaic return to a world of talking jalopies, is that it isn’t…

Review of The Mummy (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 06 Jun 2017

The Mummy is crippled by a failure of imagination…

Review of Band Aid (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 31 May 2017

You’ll believe you’re watching two people who love each other but no longer know how to live with each other…

Review of Wonder Woman (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 30 May 2017

The best thing about Wonder Woman, the overlong and intermittently enjoyable new DC superhero spectacular, is Wonder Woman herself…

Review of Bushwick (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 28 May 2017

The Purge sequels do this kind of thing with a lot less fuss…

Review of You Were Never Really Here (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 28 May 2017

For all the influences glowing dimly under its skin, You Were Never Really Here remains its own bewildering animal, unmistakably Ramsay’s…

Review of A Gentle Creature (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 25 May 2017

The sheer scope of the project demands recognition. It misses the moon by a galaxy, but at least it is has the nerve to take the shot…

Review of The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 23 May 2017

The Killing Of A Sacred Deer doesn’t have as sharp an allegorical edge as his best work — it’s no Dogtooth in that respect — but it…

Review of Before We Vanish (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 23 May 2017

It unleashes Kurosawa's more playful side-his comic instincts and a largely concealed flair for action-movie pyrotechnics, albeit of the budget…

Review of A Prayer Before Dawn (2018)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 21 May 2017

It's a spare, brutal, well-crafted prison drama, anchored by an at-turns wildly aggressive and hauntingly vulnerable lead performance by Green…

Review of Okja (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 18 May 2017

Finds the South Korean director returning to the genre-jumping mode of his masterpiece, The Host, but not quite nailing the tonal juggling…

Review of Wonderstruck (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 17 May 2017

For all of the time-warp elegance, it’s hard to shake the feeling that Haynes has authored more of an exercise than a movie: a lovingly assembled…

Review of The Wall (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 May 2017

In its best moments, The Wall is just a movie, a tense and nasty black-box thriller that conveys its politics through the microcosmic stakes…

Review of The Wall (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 10 May 2017

In its best moments, The Wall is just a movie, a tense and nasty black-box thriller that conveys its politics through the microcosmic stakes…

Review of Chuck (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 04 May 2017

The movie is more interested in him as a lovable loser, a working-class palooka who stumbled briefly into the spotlight, and Schreiber —…

Review of The Dinner (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 03 May 2017

Review of Last Men in Aleppo (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 02 May 2017
