Review of Synchronic (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Sep 2019

Once the big twist kicks in, there’s plenty of gritty fun to be had, but patience is a hard-won virtue in genre filmmaking…

Review of The Lighthouse (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Sep 2019

While not a remotely pleasant viewing experience, the sensation of watching Pattinson and Dafoe drive each other to the brink is difficult…

Review of Waves (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Sep 2019

Waves is unmistakably and defiantly its own thing – and when its ideas and aesthetics coalesce, it is a wonder to behold…

Review of Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Sep 2019

Sharply subverting the male gaze at every turn, Sciamma has created an unforgettable treatise on thwarted desire…

Review of The Lighthouse (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Sep 2019

While not a remotely pleasant viewing experience, the sensation of watching Pattinson and Dafoe drive each other to the brink is difficult…

Review of Jojo Rabbit (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Sep 2019

Jojo Rabbit excels with at least a sincerely attempted – if not exactly precise – balance of humour and horror, absurdity and tragedy…

Review of Disappearance at Clifton Hill (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Sep 2019

Clifton Hill becomes just as thrilling and disturbing as its titular strip of haunted houses and fading-fast motels…

Review of Waves (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Sep 2019

Waves is unmistakably and defiantly its own thing – and when its ideas and aesthetics coalesce, it is a wonder to behold…

Review of Just Mercy (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Sep 2019

Jordan and Foxx take the little material they’re given and play it as deep as possible, turning in memorable, eventually gut-punching performances…

Review of Knives Out (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Sep 2019

What follows is a dizzy, politically astute murder-mystery comedy that, while not reinventing the genre, certainly hits all the expected beats…

Review of Dolemite Is My Name (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 10 Sep 2019

Essential to the film’s success is Murphy, clearly having his best time in a long time as Moore, who adopted a flashy pimp-esque persona…

Review of It Chapter Two (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 04 Sep 2019

It Chapter Two is a film in need of a good ending. How badly it needs that ending is never in question, either…

Review of Ready or Not (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 20 Aug 2019

Despite its sometimes overwhelming sense of familiarity – including a conceit that feels lifted from last year’s Game Night, an impossible…

Review of Good Boys (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 15 Aug 2019

The few parts of director Gene Stupnitsky’s film that feel new, then, don’t feel that new at all, from the ultra-shaggy plot to the gross-out…

Review of 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 14 Aug 2019

There are small spurts of creativity…

Review of Where'd You Go, Bernadette (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 14 Aug 2019

There is, buried deep somewhere in Linklater’s film or however many edits it may have undergone – the thing reeks of indecision – an…

Review of After the Wedding (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 14 Aug 2019

What we’re instead left with are two diametrically opposed performances: Williams goes small and intimate as the distressed Isabel, while…

Review of Blinded by the Light (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 14 Aug 2019

Part Billy Elliot and part Chadha’s own underdog hit Bend It Like Beckham, Blinded by the Light is a feel-good coming-of-age movie that often…

Review of Light of My Life (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 07 Aug 2019

The Road meets Leave No Trace with a sprinkling of another half-dozen sharper films, Light of My Life is Casey Affleck’s ode to the power…
