Review of Casting JonBenet (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Apr 2017

The film ends on a strangely moving theatrical exercise, as the various performers gather together on a soundstage recreation of the Ramsey…

Review of Rodney King (2017)

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

This is the second time Lee has filmed one of Smith’s plays, and like A Huey P…

Review of Free Fire (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 19 Apr 2017

Fun, often funny, but about as disposable as an empty clip. We already have a Guy Ritchie. We don’t need another one…

Review of A Quiet Passion (2016)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 12 Apr 2017

What’s surprising about A Quiet Passion, given the writer-director’s own incurable melancholy, is how lively, how flat-out funny, it frequently…

Review of Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer (2016)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 11 Apr 2017

In a sense, what we’re watching is a classic con-artist movie, built around someone who plies his shady trade not for money but esteem—the…

Review of God Told Me To (1976)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 Apr 2017

Ambitious in scale despite its modest budget, God Told Me To also established Cohen’s talent for getting a lot of bang for his limited buck…

Review of Going in Style (1979)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 05 Apr 2017

It’s probably worth noting that the whippersnapper behind the camera is none other than one-time sitcom star and indie darling Zach Braff…

Review of Going in Style (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 05 Apr 2017

Review of The Blackcoat's Daughter (2017)

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

The Blackcoat’s Daughter is a clammy hand on the back of the neck, a chill running down the spine, a shot of ice water straight to the veins…

Review of All This Panic (2017)

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

Gage leans on the bright personalities of her subjects, while using roving handheld camerawork, smears of big-city color, and a shallow depth…

Review of Life (2017)

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

Life is a B movie on an A budget, an old-fashioned creature feature that delivers its cheap thrills expensively…

Review of The Belko Experiment (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 16 Mar 2017

The Belko Experiment teeters between “fun,” gory brutality and a more seriously disturbing variety — the latter epitomized by the film’s…

Review of Beauty and the Beast (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 15 Mar 2017

Shiny but not exactly new, Bill Condon’s live-action Beauty And The Beast is a curious nostalgia object, synthetically engineered to reproduce…

Review of Kong: Skull Island (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 07 Mar 2017

Skull Island has a lot of globe-trotting fun assembling its team of expendables…

Review of Catfight (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 02 Mar 2017

In more ways than one, Catfight lives down to its title…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 02 Mar 2017

What really stinks about Before I Fall is that it zaps all the fun and humor out of its time-bending premise, leaving behind a lot of moping…

Review of Logan (2017)

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

What’s special about Logan is that it manages to deliver the visceral goods, all the hardcore Wolverine action its fans could desire, while…

Review of As You Are (2016)

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

Never does it sound much like something grunge fans might like…

Review of A Cure for Wellness (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 16 Feb 2017

Equal parts baroque fairy-tale, atmospheric mystery, and hideous body-horror nightmare, the film puts what could have been a cost-effective…

Review of Lovesong (2017)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Feb 2017

What stands out most are the performances, delivered by two actresses capable of generating a little emotion, even in a film that insists on…
