Review of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 15 Nov 2011

Review of Emmanuel's Gift (2005)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 11 Nov 2011

Samson Chan's color-saturated visuals add punch to the absorbing narrative, but overall this documentary plays like slickly packaged TV fare,…

Review of Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life (2010)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 04 Nov 2011

Review of !W.A.R.: !Women Art Revolution (2010)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 03 Nov 2011

Review of The Mill and the Cross (2011)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 19 Oct 2011

It's an edifying art history lesson, but it lacks the showmanship of, for example, Peter Greenaway's Nightwatching…

Review of Puncture (2011)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 05 Oct 2011

This lacks the heft of The Insider (1999) or the snap of Erin Brockovich (2000), but it's a thoughtful entry in the growing subgenre of whistle-blower…

Review of Dream House (2011)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 30 Sep 2011

The story unfolds briskly in the polished mode of a classic horror movie, then tanks after a plot twist at the midpoint alters the mood and…

Review of What's Your Number? (2011)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 28 Sep 2011

Review of Amreeka (2009)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 27 Sep 2011

With her large, expressive eyes, abundant warmth, and radiant energy, Faour commands our sympathy, even through some weak dialogue and even…

Review of Dolphin Tale (2011)

Review of Daylight (2011)

Review of Warrior (2011)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 07 Sep 2011

Review of Going the Distance (2010)

By Andrea Gronvall (422) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 03 Sep 2011

There's also some gallows humor about the record and newspaper industries, but overall this is a light, genial comedy about denial and self-defense…
