Review of Cesar Chavez (2014)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 27 Mar 2014

Review of Love & Air Sex (2014)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 20 Mar 2014

Director Bryan Poyser keeps this moving at a nice clip, and the plotting is more intricate than you might expect…

Review of The Face of Love (2013)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 20 Mar 2014

The first ten minutes of The Face of Love function as what might be called a statement of purposelessness, announcing exactly how and why the…

Review of Particle Fever (2013)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 13 Mar 2014

The filmmakers find room for some witty philosophical bull sessions and affectionate portraits of some of the physicists; this is an agreeable…

Review of Need for Speed (2014)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 13 Mar 2014

Unfortunately there's not much of a sensibility beneath the pleasant surfaces; the movie is easy to enjoy, but just as easy to forget…

Review of Ernest & Celestine (2012)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 07 Mar 2014

The images have a soft, inviting quality that befits the storybook narrative…

Review of Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me (2013)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 06 Mar 2014

This profile of stage and screen veteran Elaine Stritch, shot during her 87th year, isn't a documentary so much as an improvised star vehicle;…

Review of The Last of the Unjust (2013)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 28 Feb 2014

Lanzmann organizes the material achronologically, presenting Murmelstein's narrative out of order and intercutting it with footage of Theresienstadt…

Review of Winter's Tale (2014)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 13 Feb 2014

This live-action fairy tale aims to recapture the romantic splendor MGM's golden era; the dialogue and metaphysical conceits are often risible,…

Review of 24 Exposures (2013)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 06 Feb 2014

Some half-baked ideas about representation versus reality emerge in the lax improvised dialogue…

Review of The Broken Circle Breakdown (2012)

Review of I, Frankenstein (2014)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 30 Jan 2014

This novel premise quickly gives way to lots of chaotic action, though there are numerous incidental pleasures throughout…

Review of I Am Breathing (2013)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 30 Jan 2014

Because directors Emma Davie (Platt's widow) and Morag McKinnon spend little time explaining his medical condition, the video doesn't function…

Review of Maidentrip (2014)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 30 Jan 2014

At best this functions as a pleasant aquatic travelogue; at worst it validates a teenage girl's egotism…

Review of The Best Offer (2013)

By Ben Sachs (546) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 30 Jan 2014
