Review of The Humans (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 30 Nov 2021

The Humans holds a smudged mirror up to any unsuspecting viewers who might enter its cramped Chinatown abode in search of distraction from…

Review of Licorice Pizza (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 18 Nov 2021

Licorice Pizza is a woozy time-warp shuffle of a comedy: a California daydream of infatuation, aspiration, and protracted adolescence that…

Review of Belfast (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 10 Nov 2021

This may, in content, be the most “personal” film in the up-and-down career of the classically trained stage and screen veteran…

Review of Spencer (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 04 Nov 2021

Stewart never seems to find an emotional reality for the icon she’s playing; the resonance begins and ends with the stunt casting of one…

Review of Antlers (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Oct 2021

The film’s aspirations to prestige smother its immediacy, the thrills of the genre it’s supposedly occupying…

Review of Eternals (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 26 Oct 2021

Eternals proves, maybe once and for all, that who’s behind the camera of these quality-controlled blockbusters may not matter so much…

Review of The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Oct 2021

The storytelling is as paramount–and often as dizzyingly entertaining—as the stories themselves…

Review of The Last Duel (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 13 Oct 2021

The setting may be the 14th century, but this is very much a historical drama of modern concerns…

Review of No Time to Die (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Sep 2021

No Time To Die is forgettable in all the places that usually count—it’s a Bond movie with little excitement or panache…

Review of The Many Saints of Newark (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Sep 2021

Chase, who co-wrote the script with an alum of his writers’ room, Lawrence Konner, flattens the world of The Sopranos into a generic, vaguely…

Review of I'm Your Man (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 17 Sep 2021

This is, perhaps, a movie easy to oversell…

Review of The Guilty (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 13 Sep 2021

For most of its brisk 90 minutes, The Guilty is just Gyllenhaal, in tight close-up, constructing a movie out of sweat and tears alone: a glorified…

Review of Malignant (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 11 Sep 2021

Regardless of one’s math on the ratio of fun to dumb in Aquaman, there’s no way to watch this deranged follow-up and not conclude that…

Review of Reminiscence (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 18 Aug 2021

The pleasures are of a borrowed nature, the stuff of third-, fourth-, maybe fifth-generation noir homage, just gussied up in sci-fi formal…

Review of John and the Hole (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 05 Aug 2021

John And The Hole comes on like a spooky portrait of budding teenage sociopathy, but it resists diagnostic shortcuts…

Review of Free Guy (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 05 Aug 2021

For all its casual mayhem, Free Guy turns out to be a rather cuddly crowdpleaser, a high-concept blockbuster trifle with bubblegum ice cream…

Review of The Green Knight (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 26 Jul 2021

Here, the Texas writer-director revels in the opportunity to create image after image worthy of immortalization: The Green Knight is his most…

Review of Old (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 22 Jul 2021

The film has flashes of clumsiness that should be familiar to those who have stepped before into the Twilight Zone of its maker’s imagination…

Review of Fear Street: 1666 (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Jul 2021

1666 offers about the best you could expect from it: a modestly rewarding resolution, like a finale that makes you glad you finished up the…

Review of Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 14 Jul 2021

Maybe the rabbit and his studio both took a wrong turn at Albuquerque…
