Review of The Fits (2016)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 29 Jan 2016

The Fits is a lovely character portrait, abstract and yet highly evocative, given an other-worldly feel by deft use of slow-mo, sinuous tracking…

Review of Goat (2016)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 27 Jan 2016

This taut adaptation of Brad Land's 2004 memoir is less a dramatized depiction of headline-grabbing hazing tragedies than a penetrating consideration…

Review of Indignation (2016)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 27 Jan 2016

There's no such thing as a sure bet in career jumps, so the elegant execution, the incisive grasp of character and milieu, and the stealthy…

Review of Christine (2016)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 26 Jan 2016

While Campos' tone and storytelling are not always the smoothest, and some of his choices are perplexing...he slowly builds a detailed mosaic…

Review of Sing Street (2016)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 26 Jan 2016

The young nonprofessional actors are a fresh, natural bunch, even if the bandmembers might have benefited from more individual character development…

Review of Michael Jackson's Journey from Motown to Off the Wall (2016)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 24 Jan 2016

Lee's interest in Jackson goes beyond an appreciation of his music to acknowledge what an important figure the performer remains in black culture,…

Review of Yosemite (2016)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 07 Jan 2016

The movie succeeds on its own quiet terms, binding the three parts together with assurance and tonal consistency to cast a lingering spell…

Review of I ♥ Huckabees (2004)

By David Rooney (943) for Variety (12,700) on 14 Dec 2015

Clever but distancing, this existential comedy bounces along on the backs of its tasty cast, witty writing and stylistic verve…

Review of 21 Grams (2003)

By David Rooney (943) for Variety (12,700) on 11 Dec 2015

Ambitiously structured in non-chronological fragments that form a fascinating puzzle, this raw drama about grief, guilt and redemption becomes…

Review of Secret Window (2004)

By David Rooney (943) for Variety (12,700) on 30 Nov 2015

The resourceful actor (Depp) invigorates Secret Window with a playful personality and wryly humorous aplomb not front-and-center in the script,…

Review of Janis: Little Girl Blue (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 16 Nov 2015

While there are numerous dynamite performance clips, Berg's film is generally more revealing on a personal level than as an appreciation of her music…

Review of Tom Dowd & The Language of Music (2004)

By David Rooney (943) for Variety (12,700) on 13 Nov 2015

Dowd's graciousness and enthusiasm, and the enormous respect afforded him by industryites on record here, make this a thorough and satisfying…

Review of Mediterranea (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 20 Oct 2015

The unselfconscious naturalness of the nonprofessional cast yields no shortage of sharply observed moments…

Review of Cut Snake (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 14 Oct 2015

It's in the accelerating spiral of crime that the weaknesses of the script and direction become hard to ignore…

Review of Miles Ahead (2016)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 11 Oct 2015

Review of Yakuza Apocalypse (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 06 Oct 2015

Review of The Walk (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 26 Sep 2015

Harnessing the wizardry of 3-D IMAX to magnify the sheer transporting wonder, the you-are-there thrill of the experience, the film's payoff…

Review of Proof (2005)
