Review of Watchers of the Sky (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Oct 2014

This is, to put it mildly, a lot of information for one documentary, which inevitably devolves to resemble not so much an anthology as a slideshow…

Review of Felony (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Oct 2014

It reveals itself to be a profoundly cynical movie posing as a work of idealism, and it's all the more insidious because it's otherwise so…

Review of Housebound (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Oct 2014

You grow to feel as if you're arbitrarily changing the channel back and forth from a diverting horror film to a promising odd-couple comedy…

Review of Drive Hard (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 27 Sep 2014

Drive Hard is the action-film equivalent of one of those folks who relentlessly speak of having it tough all over as they plan their third…

Review of Lilting (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Sep 2014

Lilting doesn't have any momentum or any sense of ambiguity, once the setup has been established…

Review of The Zero Theorem (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Sep 2014

Terry Gilliam has imposed a mix tape of his greatest hits, whose greatness was debatable to begin with, on a whiff of a story that might've…

Review of Honeymoon (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 Sep 2014

It waffles between dramatizing youthful self-absorption and succumbing to it, and this tonal instability comes to effectively mirror the domestic…

Review of The Blue Room (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Sep 2014

The film abounds in guilt and grief, reveling in a general sense of hopelessly broken social connection…

Review of Life of Riley (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 31 Aug 2014

Alain Resnais's overpoweringly beautiful final film dares to push through the ghosts that inhabit the present, standing between the pessimism…

Review of The Identical (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 29 Aug 2014

The film's so preoccupied with being inspirational that it disastrously fails to evoke the allure of rock n' roll, particularly in America…

Review of Cam2Cam (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 16 Aug 2014

Lost in this barely coherent and clichéd hugger-mugger is the initial killer-website conceit and the attending erotic dread, which is retrospectively…

Review of The Trip to Italy (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 08 Aug 2014

Michael Winterbottom and his gifted actors still haven't quite solved the riddle of portraying social disconnection in a manner that's anything…

Review of Happy Christmas (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 26 Jul 2014

Joe Swanberg's films have grown into a reliable relief from the competitive, dehumanizing freneticism of much of American culture, marked by…

Review of Cabin Fever: Patient Zero (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 26 Jul 2014

This is less a movie than a dutiful renewal of a recognizable title's licensing rights…

Review of Beneath (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Jul 2014

The film is impersonal and populated with wisps of characters who spend most of the running time wandering around in the dark yelling at one another…

Review of A Long Way Down (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 Jul 2014

An inept trifle, Pascal Chaumeil's film reduces Nick Hornby's novel of the same name to a series of smug self-help gestures…

Review of Life Itself (2014)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Jun 2014

There's a sense throughout of Steve James rushing and dutifully covering all his bases to evade accusations of creating a puff piece…

Review of Snowpiercer (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Jun 2014
