Review of Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 Jan 2018

The series’ borrowings often have about them a whiff of playful improvisation, the logic of kids with action figures saying, “And what…

Review of 12 Strong (2018)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Jan 2018

Fuglsig is adept at showing choppers and peaks, caves and campfires, at suggesting the great silence at the roof of the world…

Review of The Final Year (2018)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Jan 2018

The filmmakers offer us glimpses of the diplomatic life but too little telling detail…

Review of Django (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 04 Jan 2018

Django expresses, via the language of film genre, not what Reinhardt's life was but what it might have felt like…

Review of Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 31 Dec 2017

The finely realized Annette Bening performance at the center of Paul McGuigan’s Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool doesn’t power the movie…

Review of Pitch Perfect 3 (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Dec 2017

The Bellas aren’t invested in the film’s competition, and the filmmakers’ aren’t invested in it, and you probably won’t be, either…

Review of Downsizing (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Dec 2017

The film’s lead is far and away its least interesting character, and Damon dials back every watt of his charisma or wit…

Review of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 19 Dec 2017

The material is often weak, but the stars earn their paychecks…

Review of Woodshock (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Dec 2017

Woodshock is a study of a mind’s stoned studying, of its slipping in and out of a haze, rather than one of a mind’s unraveling or snapping…

Review of Bill Frisell: A Portrait (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 Dec 2017

Franz’s doc, unlike too many about jazz musicians, actually makes room for jazz music, capturing the clean-cut, restlessly inventive Frisell…

Review of Quest (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Dec 2017

[A] tender, humane, gently probing film…

Review of The Tribes of Palos Verdes (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 30 Nov 2017

Garner erupts and expectorates with winning zeal…

Review of Wonder Wheel (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 30 Nov 2017

The camerawork in Allen’s customary long takes is fluid, even arresting, but Winslet’s performance would benefit from the kind of editing…

Review of Voyeur (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 30 Nov 2017

An article, a book, and now a film, Talese’s fascination with Foos’s voyeurism still hasn’t resulted in anything like rigorous journalism…

Review of Cuba and the Cameraman (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 30 Nov 2017

Cuba and the Cameraman distills thousands of hours of footage into 113 lively, whirlwind minutes, covering big news events — the Mariel Boatlift;…

Review of The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Nov 2017

The movie — based on Les Standiford’s novel — is pleasantly simpleminded, often assembled from parts of other movies…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Nov 2017

Wright’s film is fleet but not especially thoughtful, wholly convincing in its production design, and in one crucial sense something rare…

Review of Coco (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Nov 2017

Yes, Coco thrills with its of-the-moment visual invention, but its core elements — dead relatives, family photos, the power of loving memory…

Review of Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Nov 2017

The drama is mostly interior, and Washington’s quiet performance tends to reveal the jittery surface rather than the tortured soul…

Review of Hello Again (2017)

By Alan Scherstuhl (679) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Nov 2017
