Review of Boys State (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 12 Aug 2020

McBaine and Moss are the team behind 2014’s The Overnighters, a wrenching film about the North Dakota oil boom, and they’re interested…

Review of The Burnt Orange Heresy (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 08 Aug 2020

As a thriller, The Burnt Orange Heresy is entirely underwhelming, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth watching…

Review of An American Pickle (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 04 Aug 2020

When it works, which it does most of all in its opening and closing acts, it’s because it manages to give a surprising emotional solidity…

Review of Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 11 Jul 2020

As a film, it’s warm and beautiful without being sentimental about the temporary intimacy that alcohol can provide, creating bonds that can…

Review of Palm Springs (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 07 Jul 2020

Palm Springs would have been a scream and likely a word-of-mouth hit in theaters, but maybe there’s something fitting about its going straight…

Review of Irresistible (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 25 Jun 2020

Irresistible isn’t just shockingly ineffectual in its insights into national schisms — it is, in an added betrayal, unfunny, requiring…

Review of Babyteeth (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 19 Jun 2020

If there’s a complaint to be made about it, it’s only that it feels like another sign of a stylistic trend that’s inexorably cohering,…

Review of Artemis Fowl (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 12 Jun 2020

The movie is so charmless and hopelessly incoherent that you might feel the need to consult Wikipedia afterward for some help on what it was…

Review of The King of Staten Island (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 10 Jun 2020

The King of Staten Island shrinks Davidson down a little too much, to the point where his pathos and humor doesn’t blend with but actively…

Review of The Vast of Night (2019)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 30 May 2020

It’s an homage to radio dramas, maybe, but also works as a reminder that while film is a visual medium, sometimes sound can be enough to…

Review of Scoob! (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 15 May 2020

The best part of Scoob…

Review of Capone (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 12 May 2020

The problem with Capone isn’t that it’s an unconventional biography or a challenge to the image of a famous figure…

Review of Bad Education (2019)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 27 Apr 2020

Jackman gives his best dramatic performance since he played the obsessive, hollow Robert Angier in The Prestige…

Review of Beastie Boys Story (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 21 Apr 2020

They’re stories you can find in the book, accompanied by ones from a multitude of other contributors, including Schellenbach, who gets to…

Review of Selah and the Spades (2019)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 20 Apr 2020

Selah and the Spades ends just as it feels like it’s really picking up momentum, which is the major frustration of the film and also, likely,…

Review of Swallow (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 19 Mar 2020

While The Invisible Man was built around its clever set pieces rather than its characters, Swallow is led by its protagonist’s mental and…

Review of The Hunt (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 16 Mar 2020

The Hunt isn’t a total mishap, not with Gilpin being as good as she is and with Zobel’s gleeful aptitude for violence, but that’s what’s…

Review of The Way Back (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 04 Mar 2020
