Review of The Sheik and I (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Dec 2012

The film is ultimately more concerned with Caveh Zahedi's attempts to pursue a variety of dull passing fancies than with any larger agenda…

Review of Lawless (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Nov 2012

Lawless is a compellingly nutty and uneven gangster film…

Review of Ex-Girlfriends (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 26 Nov 2012

The romantic quest that's meant to drive the film is meaningless because Alexander Poe has extended empathy to no one besides himself…

Review of Buffalo Girls (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Nov 2012

Todd Kellstein doesn't allow you to entirely indulge convenient (though understandable and perhaps irresistible) armchair outrage…

Review of Festival of Lights (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 Nov 2012

Fifteen minutes into Festival of Lights you come to the discouraging realization that you know every infuriating plot beat that will follow…

Review of 28 Hotel Rooms (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 Nov 2012

We're supposed to take their self-pity at face value, an impression that's emphasized by a grinding monotonous humorlessness…

Review of The Revisionaries (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 22 Oct 2012

Scott Thurman captures not only the fear and anti-intellectual resentment and insecurity that govern the dictations of the far right, but also…

Review of Paranormal Activity 4 (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 18 Oct 2012

Paranormal Activity 4 sadly continues the series' downslide, most drearily with a mid-film twist that enables the filmmakers to go about essentially…

Review of Yogawoman (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 16 Oct 2012

It's less a film than an unimaginatively assembled series of talking heads…

Review of Least Among Saints (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 09 Oct 2012

As a portrait of a self-pitying drunk's wet dream of inexplicable atonement, it's fairly effective, but as a story meant to take place on some…

Review of The Double Steps (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 30 Sep 2012

One can't help but sense that underneath the complicated art-house game-playing of Isaki Lacuesta's The Double Steps resides a theme that's…

Review of Vulgaria (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Sep 2012

Pang Ho-cheung can't help but humanize Vulgaria's characters, which is a kiss of death for what's meant to be a farce of escalating obscenity…

Review of The Other Dream Team (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Sep 2012

Made with considerable reverence, but it doesn't quite manage to tow a tricky tonal line that's required when working with such sensitive and…

Review of Three Stars (2010)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 18 Sep 2012

As a sampler course of what it means to court the Michelin honor, Three Stars is enjoyable, but it's simply a collision of details that never…

Review of Step Up to the Plate (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Sep 2012

Paul Lacoste's almost purely observational approach allows him to come about as close to documenting the process of creation as anyone ever has…

Review of Serving Up Richard (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Sep 2012

After a promising entrapment scene that offers some casually eerie narrative details, the film collapses, lurching awkwardly between a variety…

Review of The Bullet Vanishes (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Aug 2012

It's a prevailing sense of decency that explains why The Bullet Vanishes is such an effective tonic for summer-movie fatigue…

Review of Supercapitalist (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Aug 2012

Ultimately plodding and resolutely old-fashioned, a corporate thriller for folks too square to indulge the possible existence of hungers so…

Review of Sushi: The Global Catch (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 30 Jul 2012

The documentary is ultimately a dry endeavor that feels closer in spirit to an Afterschool Special than a full-blooded movie…

Review of Ballplayer: Pelotero (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 10 Jul 2012

The doc is a sly, interesting achievement: It opens as an entertaining sports story and closes as a metaphor for government corruption…
