Review of Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 25 Jan 2020

Review of Cuties (2020)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 25 Jan 2020

Writer-director Maïmouna Doucouré's captivating but structurally shaky first feature is stronger on setup than development or payoff, becoming…

Review of José (2020)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 20 Jan 2020

Review of Cats (2019)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 18 Dec 2019

It's almost unfathomable that this one made it through all the preliminary production meetings without someone sensibly calling a halt to the…

Review of Little Women (2019)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 25 Nov 2019

Gerwig skillfully navigates the line between respecting the story's old-fashioned bones while illuminating the modernity of its proto-feminist…

Review of Citizen K (2019)

Review of Jungleland (2020)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 14 Sep 2019

It's a story cut from familiar cloth that's absorbing enough but never quite escapes its whiff of cliché…

Review of Harriet (2019)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 11 Sep 2019

Despite Erivo's tenacity in the role, the drama feels more stately and impressive than urgent and affecting…

Review of True History of the Kelly Gang (2019)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 10 Sep 2019

The Robin Hood-like renegade hero of the Antipodean common man, Ned Kelly gets a ripping reinvention in director Justin Kurzel's feverish punk…

Review of Babyteeth (2020)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 09 Sep 2019

The movie — like the performances of its small ensemble — works best when the director gets out of her own way, forgetting her aversion…

Review of Endings, Beginnings (2020)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 09 Sep 2019

The movie aims to make Daphne's journey raw and real, but mostly it's just insipid…

Review of Guest of Honour (2020)

Review of Knives Out (2019)

Review of First Cow (2020)

Review of Wasp Network (2020)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 01 Sep 2019

The heart of this complex material for too long remains elusive to Assayas, and he locates it too late to give the choppy drama cohesion…

Review of Joker (2019)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 31 Aug 2019
