Review of Menashe (2017)

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

At times sweet, but never patronizing, Menashe examines a world that might seem foreign or oppressive without ever turning its inhabitants…

Review of Brigsby Bear (2017)

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

Brigsby Bear is really just a story about how people relate to the entertainment that helped raised them-and how simultaneously pure and destructive…

Review of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 19 Jul 2017

It's unafraid to embrace the expansive potential of its genre, to make each new location, costume, and alien creature feel like the wildest…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 13 Jul 2017

One of the best, and most surprising, films of the year…

Review of A Ghost Story (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 13 Jul 2017

Lowery's greatest success is in keeping this intentionally spare story from feeling like a gimmick…

Review of War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 11 Jul 2017

Reeves's story ends up echoing a very old one-essentially, Moses leading his people out of bondage and into freedom-without weaving in any…

Review of The Little Hours (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 10 Jul 2017

For all the silliness, there's something lovable about Fernanda, Alessandra, and Genevra by the end of their profane rampage, and that's enough…

Review of Okja (2017)

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

It's a sublime tale of the value of humanity, and the horrors we often have to suffer through to hold on to that…

Review of The Big Sick (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 23 Jun 2017

The recent death of the American rom-com has been much remarked upon, but it only takes one great film to zap it back into life…

Review of The Beguiled (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 23 Jun 2017

Each frame of The Beguiled is a wonder to look at, from the candle-lit dinner-time conferences to the angelic portraits of John, who's frequently…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 15 Jun 2017

That's one thing that Ritchie's Legend in the Sword shared with Excalibur-a vague idea that Britain is destined for transformation…

Review of Maudie (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 15 Jun 2017

Maudie's biggest success is Walsh's interest in depicting the environment from which art springs, rather than laying out some simple emotional…

Review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 15 Jun 2017

In Marvel lingo, Guardians 2 feels like a great six-issue arc, the kind of storytelling that used to be the backbone of superhero comics…

Review of The Book of Henry (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 14 Jun 2017

The Book of Henry is the equivalent of eating a cake baked with salt instead of sugar, or listening to a Beatles song where the lyrics are…

Review of It Comes at Night (2017)

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

A fairly straightforward post-apocalyptic story, tightly focused on human torment, but suffused with surprising, undeniably atmospheric sights…

Review of Band Aid (2017)

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

The film too often struggles to find a balance between being searing and charming; at best, it's a notable curio, one Lister-Jones may well…

Review of The Mummy (2017)

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

As the beginning of an ongoing series, it's an utter bore, one with only the faintest grasp of what made Universal's monster pictures so iconic…

Review of Hounds of Love (2016)

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

If you can stomach its content, Hounds of Love is an undoubtedly effective work, an impressive calling card for a director sure to attract…

Review of Wakefield (2017)

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

It isn't the dull midlife crisis movie it initially presents itself as. But it also doesn't do enough to lurch into more nightmarish territory…

Review of The Lovers (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 15 May 2017

The Lovers, written and directed by Azazel Jacobs, is a strangely gripping movie mostly because of its aversion to over-explaining…
