Review of Changeling (2008)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 23 Oct 2008

[I]t is not enough to declare such improbable material historically accurate and leave it at that…

Review of W. (2008)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 16 Oct 2008

This may be the most overdetermined psychological profile since Hitchcock wound up Norman Bates and let him go…

Review of Rachel Getting Married (2008)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 16 Oct 2008

Rachel Getting Married has the sense to recognize that it only takes one lunatic to throw a family gathering out of kilter; this is not an…

Review of Body of Lies (2008)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 09 Oct 2008

Its chief bid at seriousness, a confrontational colloquy with the top terrorist near the end of the film, comes across as the awkward regurgitation…

Review of The Savages (2007)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 21 Sep 2008

Linney and Hoffman are both terrific, and Jenkins's script is pointed and perceptive, but the film's arc is a little flat…

Review of Superbad (2007)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 21 Sep 2008

[Cera] has some of the best comic timing of anyone working in film today, a precocious sense of the awkward pauses and misread cues in which…

Review of Enchanted (2007)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 21 Sep 2008

Though the film is full of allusions to the Disney canon, they are generally unobtrusive echoes rather than eager satires…

Review of The Hottest State (2007)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 21 Sep 2008

If nothing else, Hawke has managed to recreate, with neurological immediacy, the sensation of being harassed by a selfish, clueless ex-lover…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 21 Sep 2008

The Brave One is not merely the most morally repellent film of the year, but a contender for the stupidest…

Review of Savages (2006)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 21 Sep 2008

Linney and Hoffman are both terrific, and Jenkins's script is pointed and perceptive, but the film's arc is a little flat…

Review of Towelhead (2008)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 18 Sep 2008

For a film that presents itself as a broadside against prejudice, Towelhead spends an awful lot of time flattering the prejudices of its audience…

Review of Once (2009)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 17 Sep 2008

In an era when Hollywood has largely lost the ability to distinguish between romance and sex, Once is the rare film that recognizes that love…

Review of There Will Be Blood (2007)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 17 Sep 2008

There Will Be Blood establishes itself as a film of Darwinian ferocity, a stark and pitiless parable of American capitalism…

Review of No Country for Old Men (2007)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 17 Sep 2008

McCarthy's ferocious tale gives the Coens room to unleash their cinematic gifts, but keeps them from wandering too far afield and losing themselves…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 17 Sep 2008

For years now, onscreen and off, [Tom] Cruise has seemed like a bottle of barely contained crazy; now we know what happens when the cork comes out…

Review of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 17 Sep 2008

The movie's title comes from the Irish toast, 'May you be in Heaven half an hour before the Devil knows you're dead.' Unfortunately, everyone…

Review of Once (2007)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 17 Sep 2008

In an era when Hollywood has largely lost the ability to distinguish between romance and sex, Once is the rare film that recognizes that love…

Review of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 17 Sep 2008

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is the story...of the moment in America when myth was murdered by mere celebrity…

Review of Juno (2007)

By Christopher Orr (399) for The New Republic (897) on 17 Sep 2008

Fierce without being cruel, sweet without becoming saccharine, and never short of hilarious, it's not only the best comedy of the year, but…
