Review of Charlie Says (2019)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 May 2019

The film appears to be striving for humanistic understanding, but the end result is far too jumbled to have the proper impact…

Review of Meeting Gorbachev (2019)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 30 Apr 2019

Werner Herzog’s documentary is a rare example of the arch ironist’s capacity to be awed not by nature but by man…

Review of The Brink (2019)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Mar 2019

Alison Klayman’s fly-on-the-wall documentary cuts Trump’s Rasputin down to size but doesn’t completely dismiss his power…

Review of The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley (2019)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 15 Mar 2019

Alex Gibney’s documentary tells a dramatic, if somewhat workmanlike, story of Silicon Valley hubris meeting old-fashioned scamming…

Review of Captain Marvel (2019)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 Mar 2019

Review of Donnybrook (2018)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Feb 2019

Review of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 29 Jan 2019

The deconstruction of corporatized play culture gets run through the sequelizer machine, with predictably acrid results…

Review of Fyre (2019)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 15 Jan 2019

Chris Smith’s documentary about the 2017 Fyre Festival implosion resists the urge to revel in cheap social media schadenfreude…

Review of Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin (2018)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for PopMatters (2,617) on 11 Jan 2019

shows how, in Le Guin's writings, fantasy can be viewed as both a different way of seeing and understanding the past, and a new way of seeing…

Review of Vice (2018)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for PopMatters (2,617) on 21 Dec 2018

Along with The Big Short, the righteously infuriated and wonderfully gonzo Vice creates part of a roadmap for how we got to where the world is now…

Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for PopMatters (2,617) on 18 Dec 2018

Even with few truly catchy numbers and a cumbersome plot, 'Mary Poppins Returns' has enough bright-eyed optimism to almost escape the shadow…

Review of Roma (2018)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for PopMatters (2,617) on 14 Dec 2018

Alfonso Cuarón's edgily political black-and-white epic of a family in 1970s Mexico City is as masterfully choreographed as Children of Men…

Review of Bird Box (2018)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 14 Dec 2018

Many sections of Bird Box don’t hold up to a second’s scrutiny; the conceit’s silliness and convenient scare tactics make Shyamalan’s…

Review of Mortal Engines (2018)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Dec 2018

After a while, it all starts to feel like a showreel for the film’s special-effects team than an honest effort to tell a story…

Review of Divide and Conquer: The Story of Roger Ailes (2018)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 29 Nov 2018

Alexis Bloom’s keenly insightful and deeply depressing documentary is probably best viewed not as a record of the past but a document of…

Review of The Front Runner (2018)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for PopMatters (2,617) on 19 Nov 2018

Funny and thoughtful but not sharp enough, Jason Reitman's satire about Gary Hart's tabloid downfall aims for controlled chaos but settles…

Review of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 15 Nov 2018

Review of Widows (2018)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Medium (13) on 13 Nov 2018

The undercurrent of McQueen's focus is not who gets what bag of money but the grander thievery of gangsters aspiring to be politicians who…
