Review of The Beach Bum (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 28 Mar 2019

The most shocking thing about the film is its unabashed cheerfulness…

Review of Dumbo (2019)

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

The film is just different enough to stick out amid the studio’s backwards-looking slate, and Burton, for the first time in years, shows…

Review of Us (2019)

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

Us is a thrill ride, a somber parable, and a potential first chapter in a vast, encyclopedic sci-fi story; talented as ever, Peele has found…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

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

The script, by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, conveys little beyond the fact that Stephen and Rachael are both sad, nice to each other,…

Review of Gloria Bell (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 08 Mar 2019

Given its similarity to the original, Gloria Bell could have just been a curiosity—but the hilarious performances by Moore, Cera, and Turturro…

Review of Captain Marvel (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 05 Mar 2019

The 21st entry in Marvel’s galactic film empire, and the first focused on a female superhero (played by Brie Larson), is a perfectly fun…

Review of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 01 Mar 2019

The narrative thrust of The Hidden World sputters any time humans are involved…

Review of Fighting with My Family (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 01 Mar 2019

Sheer force of personality is the main ingredient of any great sports movie, and Pugh has enough of it to pull the story along…

Review of Happy Death Day 2U (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 01 Mar 2019

It’s one thing to make fun of the repetitiveness of a second movie, but this one manages to do that while actually expanding its storytelling…

Review of Greta (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 01 Mar 2019

As it is, Greta is more of a Terminator movie, with everyone doing their best to get out of Huppert’s way for 98 enjoyable minutes—though…

Review of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 01 Mar 2019

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind could’ve been a conventional narrative of despair and redemption; in Ejiofor’s hands, it builds realism…

Review of Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

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

True to its origins, Alita is a living cartoon of a film, which only makes its ridiculousness easier to absorb…

Review of High Flying Bird (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 10 Feb 2019

Soderbergh’s unorthodox film release and cheap, idiosyncratic shooting style are ideal fits for the director’s fascinating, speculative…

Review of Cold Pursuit (2019)

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

The script has a wry sense of humor but is almost never laugh-out-loud funny, and the gory substance of the plot regularly overwhelms the delicate…

Review of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 06 Feb 2019

This is a project that’s loaded with big ideas and worthy morals for its younger viewers, even if it has a little trouble streamlining them…

Review of Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 01 Feb 2019

In the end, Velvet Buzzsaw is a pretty soulless piece of art about the soullessness of art; but that doesn’t mean it can’t have a little…

Review of The Kid Who Would Be King (2019)

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

The film hums with energy anytime Merlin is on-screen, but even when it’s in the hands of its very sweet preteen ensemble, it’s a lively watch…

Review of Serenity (2019)

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

It’s one of those projects that initially seems hokey beyond repair but quickly evolves into something genuinely unique…

Review of Fyre (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 17 Jan 2019

Fyre is primarily a journalistic exhumation of the Fyre Festival’s ridiculous excesses…

Review of Glass (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 10 Jan 2019

It’s a film that sometimes plays more as a rambling TED Talk than as a straightforward thriller…
