Review of City of Ghosts (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 08 Jul 2017

Review of Okja (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 29 Jun 2017

For all of the chaos that Okja eventually steers into, its best face is as a simple story of a child on the cusp of young womanhood, trying…

Review of The Little Hours (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 26 Jun 2017

Baena's approach is so winkingly bawdy that it can be read either as a goofy tribute to one of the world's oldest sex comedies, or an especially…

Review of The Book of Henry (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 15 Jun 2017

Review of All Eyez on Me (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 15 Jun 2017

This is a commercial for Tupac Shakur the icon, and there's more truth about the man to be found in any one of his songs than this entire two-and-a-half-hour…

Review of Cars 3 (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 12 Jun 2017

First-time director Brian Fee wisely steers the film back to the tone on which it started, one of great affection for big race days and bygone…

Review of The Hero (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 09 Jun 2017

[The Hero] is about fifty years and one cancer diagnosis away from retelling any other rote story about a talented-yet-struggling actor hoping…

Review of Snatched (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 10 May 2017

[Snatched] works less as a high-concept studio comedy than as a take on estranged mother-daughter dynamics, and it's even a little sweet when…

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

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 01 May 2017

Vol. 2 understands well that the action is memorable because of who it's happening to and around, and Gunn never loses that sense of character…

Review of The Circle (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 27 Apr 2017

Ponsoldt and Eggers' screenplay yields a heavy-handed take on web titans and the doublespeak of Internet buzzwords, and struggles to generate…

Review of The Fate of the Furious (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 11 Apr 2017

Review of The Discovery (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 01 Apr 2017

[It's] built on an ingenious premise, and if McDowell occasionally falters in how he chooses to explore its boundaries, it's still an inquisitive…

Review of T2 Trainspotting (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 20 Mar 2017

For a sequel in which many familiar faces and locations are reprised, T2 Trainspotting is unusually candid about the hazards of looking backwards…

Review of Raw (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 17 Mar 2017

One of the most transgressive things about Raw is how Ducournau keeps the focus on the unjust judgment of others, rather than the shame Justine…

Review of Kong: Skull Island (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 02 Mar 2017

Review of Fist Fight (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 16 Feb 2017

There's little to Fist Fight that distinguishes itself, and it's the kind of comedy that's good for the odd laugh every few minutes, but also…

Review of John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 09 Feb 2017

Chapter 2 is a hyper-violent piece of pulp action cinema through and through, but it's also an exemplar of how to make such a film with style…

Review of The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017)

By Dominick Mayer (133) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 28 Jan 2017
