Review of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

By Alison Willmore (681) for BuzzFeed News (197) on 08 Jul 2014

Review of Jersey Boys (2014)

By Alison Willmore (681) for BuzzFeed News (197) on 19 Jun 2014

It's possible that no movie about music has ever treated its songs with more indifference than Clint Eastwood's Jersey Boys…

Review of Venus in Fur (2013)

By Alison Willmore (681) for BuzzFeed News (197) on 19 Jun 2014

Polanski's film is wonderfully light on its feet - it never feels hemmed in, though it also never leaves the space in which it begins - but…

Review of Coherence (2014)

By Alison Willmore (681) for BuzzFeed News (197) on 17 Jun 2014

Coherence's characters aren't especially nice, but they do feel painfully normal, with a plausibility to their actions that extends to the…

Review of How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)

By Alison Willmore (681) for BuzzFeed News (197) on 11 Jun 2014

While a lot of recent animated movies stuff the screen with bright colors, frantic action, and constant wisecracks, How to Train Your Dragon…

Review of 22 Jump Street (2014)

By Alison Willmore (681) for BuzzFeed News (197) on 11 Jun 2014

It doesn't have the pleasant surprise factor of the first film, but it's actually even better…

Review of The Fault in Our Stars (2014)

By Alison Willmore (681) for BuzzFeed News (197) on 04 Jun 2014

Has a melodrama's tendency toward manipulation underneath the gestures toward keeping it real…

Review of Obvious Child (2014)

By Alison Willmore (681) for BuzzFeed News (197) on 04 Jun 2014

A celebration of oversharing, abortion-related or not…

Review of In Darkness (2011)

By Alison Willmore (681) for The Playlist (3,871) on 11 Mar 2014

Holland's film is extraordinarily generous with its characters in ways that take the story beyond being a historical fable of altruism and endurance…

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Alison Willmore (681) for Movieline (883) on 17 Dec 2012

Apatow's film comes across as overstuffed and understructured, a collection of elements that hasn't really been assembled into a story and…

Review of Save the Date (2012)

By Alison Willmore (681) for Movieline (883) on 14 Dec 2012

Mohan's film may not manage anything out of the ordinary, but it does present a convincingly contemporary depiction of relationships and dating…

Review of Amour (2012)

By Alison Willmore (681) for Movieline (883) on 12 Dec 2012

For all that it is, as promised, about love, it's also a subtly punishing affair that grinds you into the ground as you watch an elderly couple…

Review of Django Unchained (2012)

By Alison Willmore (681) for Movieline (883) on 12 Dec 2012

The film also comes across like a rough cut that was never looked at as a coherent whole, and some segments that start off as promising become…

Review of Les Misérables (2012)

By Alison Willmore (681) for Movieline (883) on 10 Dec 2012

Even at a generous running time that matches this season's other giant award candidates, Les Misérables seems like it's in a hurry, skittering…

Review of The Impossible (2012)

By Alison Willmore (681) for Movieline (883) on 06 Dec 2012

The latter half of The Impossible is so disappointingly movie-ish, tying a bow on the events after portraying them too vividly to allow them…

Review of Hyde Park on Hudson (2012)

By Alison Willmore (681) for Movieline (883) on 05 Dec 2012

A dismal misfire, Hyde Park on Hudson could have been a spoof of a period prestige film, had it a little more energy and humor…

Review of Wagner & Me (2012)

By Alison Willmore (681) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 05 Dec 2012

Fry is Jewish, and his wrestling with what it means to venerate the music of someone who wrote of his revulsion for Jews adds a fascinating…

Review of Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

By Alison Willmore (681) for Movieline (883) on 30 Nov 2012
