Review of The Lovers (2017)

Review of Chuck (2017)

By Dan Callahan (211) for TheWrap (3,203) on 27 Apr 2017

Review of The Trip to Spain (2017)

By Dan Callahan (211) for TheWrap (3,203) on 27 Apr 2017

What Coogan and Brydon are doing in these films is an acquired taste, but if they want to continue on doing them then they’re going to need…

Review of Aardvark (2018)

By Dan Callahan (211) for TheWrap (3,203) on 27 Apr 2017

Review of Manifesto (2017)

By Dan Callahan (211) for TheWrap (3,203) on 25 Apr 2017

The surprise here is that Rosefeldt has managed to deliver an intellectually-charged, cheeky, and very funny film that feels unruly and expansive…

Review of The Circle (2017)

By Dan Callahan (211) for TheWrap (3,203) on 25 Apr 2017

The Circle takes a valid concern about lack of privacy in the Internet age and turns it into a hyperbolic and finally laughable melodrama…

Review of A Quiet Passion (2016)

By Dan Callahan (211) for TheWrap (3,203) on 10 Apr 2017

The degree of difficulty here is steep, and Davies has not been entirely successful in making Dickinson’s milieu come to full and convincing life…

Review of Beauty and the Beast (2017)

By Dan Callahan (211) for TheWrap (3,203) on 03 Mar 2017

Review of God's Own Country (2017)

By Dan Callahan (211) for TheWrap (3,203) on 21 Jan 2017

Review of Collateral Beauty (2016)

By Dan Callahan (211) for TheWrap (3,203) on 13 Dec 2016

Review of Torn Curtain (1966)
