Review of The One and Only Ivan (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 19 Aug 2020

The One and Only Ivan elevates its babbling baboons and erudite elephants to a level of graceful storytelling and emotional catharsis…

Review of Boys State (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 12 Aug 2020

Politicians are craven and driven by all the wrong reasons, and though the pair uncover a handful of hopeful voices – especially Ben Feinstein,…

Review of Spinster (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 07 Aug 2020

While Spinster works well enough as a showcase for Peretti’s talents, Dorfman never matches the power of her star…

Review of The Secret Garden (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 04 Aug 2020

The latest adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s 1911 novel is not necessarily a bad film, just an unnecessary one…

Review of I Used to Go Here (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 04 Aug 2020

The characters aren’t compelling, the comedy isn’t energetic, and the narrative surprises that Rey throws at the screen will be obvious…

Review of She Dies Tomorrow (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 04 Aug 2020

In its cautious rhythm, its economical storytelling and its deliberately over-the-top colour scheme – each character’s “infection,”…

Review of An American Pickle (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 03 Aug 2020

While Rich’s script misses a few trickier opportunities to further dig into questions of religion and history – Herschel sleeps his way…

Review of The Burnt Orange Heresy (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 03 Aug 2020

The international cast manage to acquit themselves fine enough, with Jagger in particular having a ball as an energetic rapscallion…

Review of The Cuban (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 30 Jul 2020

Perhaps sensing that the rest of his story - mostly focusing around the earnest do-goodery of Golja's aide - falls emotionally flat, Navarretta…

Review of The Outpost (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 20 Jul 2020

Given that his movie never gives us an opportunity to understand who these men are, it is hard to mourn them beyond a superficial fashion…

Review of Fatal Affair (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 16 Jul 2020

Fatal Affair will live up to the first half of its name, and you’ll be bored to death…

Review of Greyhound (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 06 Jul 2020

But Schneider, whose only other directing credit is the extremely low-key 2009 family drama Get Low, finds a way to portray the nautical action…

Review of The Old Guard (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 03 Jul 2020

There are a few scenes where Theron is an inch away from completely rewriting the proceedings – she just needs a slight jolt in the right…

Review of Desperados (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 03 Jul 2020

Maybe Rapoport’s script from way back when was fiercer, sharper, and funnier, and the sands of time have simply eroded any of its interesting…

Review of Hamilton (2025)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 30 Jun 2020

This is a tremendously entertaining trip through the births of both America and the musical form, with each institution given a lightly revisionist…

Review of Force of Nature (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 29 Jun 2020

Regrettably, and predictably, Force of Nature isn’t interestingly bad – it’s just bad…

Review of Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 24 Jun 2020

Listen, Will: The film, your first with streaming giant Netflix (which maybe says something about the state of your brand of big-screen comedies,…

Review of Burden (2018)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 23 Jun 2020

Typically, Whitaker can lend the sloppiest assignment some much-needed dignity, but here he gives far more than the easy and lazy script ever…

Review of Hammer (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 23 Jun 2020

With lesser performers, too, maybe Hammer would have felt more like a gag…

Review of Irresistible (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 22 Jun 2020

Irresistible is toothless, it is weak-willed and it is depressingly unaware of either of these facts…
