Review of The Upside (2019)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 10 Jan 2019

The rest is feel-good painted unenthusiastically by numbers: a repetitive series of artificially inflated character conflicts and tossed-off…

Review of Holmes & Watson (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Dec 2018

If there are any new jokes left to tell about Holmes, they’re nowhere to be found in the abysmal Holmes & Watson, which might be the worst…

Review of Vice (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 18 Dec 2018

Apart from one initially funny (but ultimately over-extended) gag involving a fake credits sequence, the material is mostly glib and second-rate—and,…

Review of Aquaman (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 11 Dec 2018

Aquaman needs its smirking, beer-loving, roadie-looking, Chippendale-chested hero -- not to save the day, but to remind us that this is stuff…

Review of Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 06 Dec 2018

The film is something like a digital tiger itself: an approximation, not exactly the same as the real thing…

Review of The Other Side of the Wind (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 01 Nov 2018

Review of A Bread Factory, Part Two: Walk With Me A While (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 24 Oct 2018

Review of Hunter Killer (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 24 Oct 2018

The problem with this sort of Hungry-Man dinner theater is that it needs a true believer or at least a testosterone junkie behind the camera…

Review of A Bread Factory, Part One: For the Sake of Gold (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 24 Oct 2018

Despite Wang’s habit of casual stylistic quotation (riffing on Ingmar Bergman’s compressed close-ups here, Wes Anderson’s whip pans there),…

Review of An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 16 Oct 2018

The cast is mostly made up of film and TV comedy pros, all of whom seem to be having a good time overacting Hosking’s Bizarro World dialogue…

Review of The Guilty (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 Oct 2018

Review of Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Oct 2018

Review of Thunder Road (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 09 Oct 2018

Through a combination of caricature and psychological portrait, subtle touches and howls of impotent, uniformed rage, [Cummings’] film offers…

Review of Private Life (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 03 Oct 2018

In its busy closing stretch, there is a fine group portrait of characters coming to terms with the difference between what they might never…

Review of The Great Buster: A Celebration (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 02 Oct 2018

The result feels like a DVD or Blu-ray special feature with a celebrity pedigree, rather than a movie that can stand on its own two feet…

Review of Hell Fest (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 29 Sep 2018

It delivers the tedious, heavy-breathing buildup associated with the genre, but skimps on the scares and the gory, gooey good stuff…

Review of Night School (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 25 Sep 2018

Review of Life Itself (2018)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 17 Sep 2018

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 11 Sep 2018
