Review of A Fantastic Woman (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 02 Feb 2018

A Fantastic Woman, nominated in the Best Foreign Language Film category at this year’s Academy Awards, is a tremendous portrait of grief…

Review of Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 26 Jan 2018

As the final act succumbed to dull, apocalyptic formula, I saw an entire sub-genre slip away with it: The Death Cure is a grim, half-hearted…

Review of A Futile and Stupid Gesture (2018)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 26 Jan 2018

A Futile and Stupid Gesture feels like a quick tour of a man’s greatest hits that relies on his accomplishments, rather than any storytelling…

Review of Hostiles (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 19 Jan 2018

Though the film seeks to avoid many of the genre’s cliches, it nonetheless ends up slipping into some well-worn and dull dynamics of noble…

Review of The Commuter (2018)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 12 Jan 2018

It’s almost charming watching the film find various ways to use the limited confines of a suburban commuter train in service of a nervy action…

Review of Paddington 2 (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 10 Jan 2018

Paddington 2 is gorgeous to look at, smartly written, and gleefully funny, boasting a fierce ensemble of estimable British thespians…

Review of All the Money in the World (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 07 Jan 2018

All the Money in the World is watchable and at times quite gripping, but it’s little more than a middling entry in Scott’s long career…

Review of Molly's Game (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 07 Jan 2018

Even if Molly’s Game is a tad too long and a mite too exposition-heavy, its star alone is worth the price of admission…

Review of Downsizing (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 22 Dec 2017

All of Downsizing’s story elements are so audacious that I was rooting for Payne to make some narrative sense of them…

Review of I, Tonya (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 08 Dec 2017

I, Tonya too often feels glib and glancing, holding the public responsible for many of the easy assumptions and narrative shortcuts the film…

Review of The Disaster Artist (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 01 Dec 2017

Wiseau’s odd appeal is the only reason anything in The Disaster Artist is remotely believable, even though it’s based on a true story…

Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 29 Nov 2017

Each element is carefully calibrated, but deployed with consummate grace—this is a film to rush to, and to then savor every minute of…

Review of Mudbound (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 27 Nov 2017

Mudbound is beautifully shot, well-acted, and surprisingly sweeping for a movie with a relatively small budget of $10 million; if it’s guilty…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 27 Nov 2017

Wright has found an ideal collaborator in Oldman, an actor who knows how to embrace his most dramatic side but who still excels in his quieter…

Review of The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 20 Nov 2017

With his latest movie, Lanthimos has made a tense, heart-wrenching tale with an admirably askance view of humanity that’s a worthy successor…

Review of Lady Bird (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 20 Nov 2017

Lady Bird isn’t a movie about any searing issue; it’s just a wonderful, rare character study of a young woman figuring out her identity,…

Review of Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 20 Nov 2017

One element is consistent throughout Roman J…

Review of The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 20 Nov 2017

For all Sandler’s screaming, and Hoffman’s imperious rambling, the film builds to some quietly tragic moments amid its chaotic comedy of…

Review of Wonderstruck (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 20 Nov 2017

In its quieter moments, Wonderstruck occasionally approaches the transcendent, sublime quality Haynes is aiming for—but those times are frustratingly…

Review of BPM (Beats per Minute) (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 20 Nov 2017

Beats Per Minute is specific in topic, to be sure—this is a moving account about the gay experience at a particular point and place in history—but…
