Review of The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

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

The Lego Batman Movie works precisely because it knows audiences are sick of its hero…

Review of The Comedian (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 09 Feb 2017

A fetid, overlong drama laden with bizarre subplots and an inexplicably star-studded supporting cast, built around the dated idea that standup…

Review of The Founder (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 09 Feb 2017

The Founder ends up feeling extremely wishy-washy, unable to scrub the nastiness of Kroc's success but also incapable of confronting it…

Review of John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 09 Feb 2017

By doubling down on its idiosyncrasies, Chapter 2 justifies the existence of more Wick without overstaying its welcome…

Review of I, Daniel Blake (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 09 Feb 2017

There's a heightened edge to I, Daniel Blake, an embittered streak of comedy that keeps the otherwise miserable plot from weighing too heavily…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 16 Jan 2017

It's some new, evolved form of awkward comedy that doesn't strive to make the audience wince, but rather lives in every joyously strange, unsettling…

Review of Live by Night (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 16 Jan 2017

One of the film's final set pieces is so wonderfully staged that it reminds you what skill Affleck has with the camera…

Review of Patriots Day (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 12 Jan 2017

If Berg had dug deeper, he could have had a great film on his hands; as it stands, he's delivered a rote, but occasionally thought-provoking, misfire…

Review of Paterson (2016)

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

In Jim Jarmusch's new movie Paterson, there's no major action day to day, but magic is constantly bleeding in from around the edges…

Review of A Monster Calls (2016)

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

As the movie rumbled toward its inevitably devastating conclusion, the chief emotion I felt wasn't sadness but annoyance at the dashed grander…

Review of Barry (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 19 Dec 2016

Much as with Southside With You, Barry is buoyed by its tremendous lead performer…

Review of Barry (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 19 Dec 2016

Much as with Southside With You, Barry is buoyed by its tremendous lead performer…

Review of Jackie (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 01 Dec 2016

Jackie is a remarkably composed, artful piece of storytelling about storytelling, as an examination of the gauzy reputation of the Kennedys…

Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 29 Nov 2016

A drama of rare power-a tale of human suffering that succeeds because of its love for its characters, rather than for their misfortunes…

Review of Lion (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 29 Nov 2016

Lion is ultimately an excellent example of its type-a resonant true story told, not with manipulative cliches, but with refreshing confidence…

Review of The Edge of Seventeen (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 21 Nov 2016

This is a movie about a teen, first and foremost, rather than a teen movie, and that's exactly what makes it feel like a peerless example for…

Review of Loving (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 04 Nov 2016

The power of the film's final act, where the Lovings finally have created a safe place for themselves and their children, cannot be exaggerated,…

Review of Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 02 Nov 2016

It's undeniably effective, a movie about the power of religious conviction that batters viewers with depictions of horrific violence and chaos…

Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 29 Oct 2016

Viewers will leave with a fine sense of how it felt to be on that blazing rig, but they'll still have plenty of questions about how and why…

Review of The Handmaiden (2016)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 29 Oct 2016

The Handmaiden is just pure cinema, a dizzying, disturbing fable of love and betrayal that piles on luxurious imagery, while never losing track…
