Review of Hustlers (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 11 Sep 2019

Hustlers would work as a goofy comedy; it works even better as a thoughtful one, crammed with killer lines and supporting work from both acting…

Review of It Chapter Two (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 03 Sep 2019

The length of It Chapter Two is matched by the scale of Pennywise’s big scares, assisted by the slickest visual effects money can buy, but…

Review of Ready or Not (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 22 Aug 2019

The real fun in Ready or Not comes from the ways it subverts its time-tested story, balancing wry commentary and straightforward horror in…

Review of Where'd You Go, Bernadette (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 19 Aug 2019

The cast is stacked, but the story is messy, and the pathos driving Bernadette’s disappearance (which, again, is easily solved) is underwritten…

Review of Blinded by the Light (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 15 Aug 2019

Chadha is showing how art, be it familiar or far from one’s comfort zone, can inspire a sense of freedom…

Review of Good Boys (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 12 Aug 2019

Had the film not taken an introspective turn, I still would have appreciated its skill with generating easy laughs…

Review of Luce (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 07 Aug 2019

Luce spends too much time presenting a puzzle for viewers to solve and, in doing so, neglects the human drama underneath…

Review of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 02 Aug 2019

This is a film with genuinely compelling leads, each of whom could support a solo movie, and yet they all seem on autopilot here, dispensing…

Review of Honeyland (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 25 Jul 2019

A sensitivity to both petty human concerns and striking natural beauty is what makes Honeyland a particularly enthralling documentary…

Review of Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 24 Jul 2019

The result is a surprisingly funny and extremely melancholy hangout film, an elegy for a bygone era that reflects on how all art eventually…

Review of The Art of Self-Defense (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 19 Jul 2019

Eisenberg, Nivola, and a hilariously brusque Imogen Poots (as Sensei’s only female student) are more than up to the task of finding the comedy…

Review of Stuber (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 14 Jul 2019

If you’re looking for a throwback to simpler, sillier times (with a dash of self-awareness about the state of toxic masculinity in 2019),…

Review of The Farewell (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 11 Jul 2019

Wang, who has made only one prior feature (the little-seen 2014 comedy Posthumous), distinguishes herself as a thrilling new voice in filmmaking…

Review of Midsommar (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 02 Jul 2019

Whether Midsommar works for you depends on whether Dani’s arc lands with the emotional heft Aster desires; certainly do not go into the film…

Review of Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 27 Jun 2019

Spider-Man: Far From Home is a bouncy addition to a bulging franchise, with just enough fringe zaniness to help it stand out from the pack…

Review of Yesterday (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 26 Jun 2019

This is a film that could have been triumphantly weird, or soaringly corny; it tries to split the difference and ends up merely forgettable…

Review of Yesterday (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 26 Jun 2019

This is a film that could have been triumphantly weird, or soaringly corny; it tries to split the difference and ends up merely forgettable…

Review of Them That Follow (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 20 Jun 2019

While the film tries to be a shocking window into another world, it plays more like an agog piece of tourism…

Review of Wild Rose (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 19 Jun 2019

That Rose-Lynn is an onstage force is easy to tell from the second she picks up a microphone, but Taylor makes this film less about her gift…

Review of The Dead Don't Die (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 13 Jun 2019

The Dead Don’t Die is the first horror film I’ve seen that seemed as likely to lull me to sleep as to give me nightmares…
