Review of The Next Best Thing (2000)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 02 Feb 2016

That's a few too many agendas for one film…

Review of Unbreakable (2000)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Jan 2016

Even the surprise ending arrives with a thud and makes us wonder why Shyamalan didn't try something new instead of recycling his Sixth Sense recipe…

Review of Beloved (1998)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 05 Jan 2016

Doesn't sanitize its tale of African American loss and survival -- the way Steven Spielberg's “The Color Purple'' did -- but delves deeply,…

Review of Life Stinks (1991)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 27 Dec 2015

It's a risky movie, and an uneven one. But the impulses behind it are darker and stronger than in most of his previous comedies…

Review of Poetic Justice (1993)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 15 Dec 2015

Subtitled “A Street Romance,” writer-director Singleton's sophomore effort touches the heart more when it's on the street than when it's…

Review of Limbo (1999)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 31 Oct 2015

Both halves of the film are exquisitely acted and written, both are emotionally true, and yet they don't quite fit together…

Review of K-PAX (2001)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 25 Oct 2015

This is a tour-de-force performance, delivered by an actor at the top of his game, and it's a shame that K-Pax, instead of engaging our imaginations…

Review of The Piano (1993)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 07 Oct 2015

The Piano is dark, sublime music, and after it's over, you won't be able to get it out of your head…

Review of The Indian in the Cupboard (1995)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 07 Oct 2015

The Indian in the Cupboard is such a sweet film, and so lacking in the bloodthirstiness and violence that parents dread in children's films,…

Review of Feeling Minnesota (1996)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 03 Aug 2015

A white-trash burlesque that springs from the notion that people chasing each other in cars and doing stupid things in motels are inherently funny…

Review of Se7en (1995)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 01 Jul 2015

Placing style above coherence, Seven glosses over plot points and shows a weakness for cheap, lurid effects…

Review of Marvin's Room (1996)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 18 Apr 2015

Any movie with Meryl Streep is an occasion, but when you add Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hume Cronyn and Gwen Verdon,…

Review of Splendor (1999)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 11 Mar 2015

A menage a trois tale that aspires to the breezy screwball comedies of the 1930s -- but more often resembles a hip soap opera…

Review of Rebels with a Cause (2000)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 20 Nov 2014

It rambles, it's repetitive, but once in a while there's a sparkling moment when someone speaks in a way that conjures the fierce passion of the '60s…

Review of Velvet Goldmine (1998)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Oct 2014

One can admire it, but it's hard to get caught up in it…

Review of Basquiat (1996)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 17 Jun 2014

It's smart and good-hearted and boasts an amazingly good score, but the film is limited by the very private nature of the man it portrays…

Review of A League of Their Own (1992)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 08 Jun 2014

Penny Marshall’s gangly fourth film benefits from a fresh, unusual subject, the joy of baseball being played by women having the time of…

Review of Frida (2002)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 23 Apr 2014

A domestic melodrama with weak dialogue and biopic cliches…

Review of Bamboozled (2000)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 05 Apr 2014

Guaranteed to inspire, antagonize and divide his (Lee's) audience…

Review of Surviving Picasso (1996)

By Edward Guthmann (364) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 28 Mar 2014

An absorbing look at emotional tyranny, with a great screenplay by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala…
