Review of Woman in Gold (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 09 Feb 2015

Review of Mr. Holmes (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 08 Feb 2015

This is a ruminative film of minor-key rewards, driven by an impeccably nuanced performance from McKellen as a solitary 93-year-old man enfeebled…

Review of Thou Wast Mild and Lovely (2014)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 04 Feb 2015

Review of The Overnight (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 01 Feb 2015

Review of Tangerine (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 31 Jan 2015

The film's smart craftsmanship is ultimately less noteworthy than its humanizing, prejudice-challenging immersion into the lives of people…

Review of Mississippi Grind (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 28 Jan 2015

The filmmakers' reluctance to over-explain character motivations has mostly kept their films out of the mainstream and will continue to do…

Review of Unexpected (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 27 Jan 2015

Swanberg and her co-writer Megan Mercier do an assured job of coaxing the minor-key humor and conflict gently from the naturalistic situations…

Review of James White (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 26 Jan 2015

Mond's skill at working with actors is equal to his fully developed visual style and assured modulation of atmosphere and tone…

Review of The End of the Tour (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 25 Jan 2015

Essentially, this is a film about existential emptiness, and yet it’s beautiful and alive, as filled with humor as it is with melancholy…

Review of Stockholm, Pennsylvania (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 24 Jan 2015

Review of Wild Tales (2014)

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

Wild Tales opens and closes with a bang, and at its best is a riotously funny and cathartic exorcism of the frustrations of contemporary life…

Review of Still Life (2015)

The fragile film’s bid for poignancy is so aggressive and its sensitivity so studied that it eventually drowns in syrupy banality…

The fragile film’s bid for poignancy is so aggressive and its sensitivity so studied that it eventually drowns in syrupy banality…

Review of Appropriate Behavior (2015)

By David Rooney (943) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 12 Jan 2015

Review of Into the Woods (2014)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 17 Dec 2014
