Review of Hereafter (2010)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 11 Oct 2010

Hereafter is not just a stretch for Eastwood, it's a contortion…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 Oct 2010

Burdened by a convoluted script and an ensemble-proof leading lady, the director fails to illuminate a particular corrupt system…

Review of We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Sep 2010

Naomi Watts is a tremendous movie actress. She need only sidle on camera and glance over the terrain to claim the scene. What's her secret…

Review of Bronson (2009)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 Sep 2010

Bronson is essentially a faux-operatic, music hall turn--a larky, lumpen version of Lola Montès…

Review of Our Beloved Month of August (2008)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 30 Aug 2010

Transparently a movie about a group of filmmakers who attempt to possess a particular location, Our Beloved Month relaxes into a meditation…

Review of Last Train Home (2009)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 30 Aug 2010

Everything is edged with desperation. However arduous Last Train Home may have been to shoot, it was infinitely more arduous to live…

Review of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 29 Aug 2010

The Phantom Menace is simply a billboard for itself. Anyone who sees it will be experiencing it for the second time…

Review of Spider (2002)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 29 Aug 2010

Spider lasts in the mind and it's built to last -- this is a movie that invites and repays repeated viewings…

Review of The Wrestler (2008)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 11 Aug 2010

Present in every scene, if not each shot, Rourke gives a tremendously physical performance that The Wrestler essentially exists to document…

Review of Ask the Dust (2006)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 Jul 2010

Alternately grandiose and abject, Bandini is a sort of underground man, and if no more miscast than usual, heartthrob Colin Farrell miserably…

Review of Avatar (2009)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Jul 2010

Avatar is a technological wonder, 15 years percolating in King Cameron's imagination and inarguably the greatest 3-D cavalry western ever made…

Review of Me and Orson Welles (2008)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 15 Jul 2010

Deft, affectionate, and unexpectedly enjoyable…

Review of Rambo (2008)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 23 Jun 2010

A sort of parody Apocalypse Now, complete with listless coochie dancers entertaining the Burmese troops, the movie finds its own heart of darkness…

Review of The Killer Inside Me (2010)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Jun 2010

This withholding actor's (Affleck) impish smile and mild, pale-eyed stare--not to mention the Clintonesque hoarseness with which he spins his…

Review of Lost in Translation (2003)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 10 Jun 2010

As bittersweet a brief encounter as any in American movies since Richard Linklater's equally romantic Before Sunrise…

Review of Nightfall (1956)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 Jun 2010

Not only a nifty late noir but a model of economical filmmaking--well-sketched atmosphere, deft characterizations, and a 78-minute running time…

Review of The Way of the Gun (2000)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 Jun 2010

Way of the Gun is a self-consciously American odyssey…

Review of Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 16 May 2010

Wide-eyed, open-mouthed, and silently beseeching, she's (Johansson) even more a screen for projection here than in Lost in Translation; surrounded…

Review of Punishment Park (1971)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 10 May 2010

Shot during the post-Kent State law and order election of 1970, Punishment Park can seem so outrageous as to verge on camp, but few other movies…

Review of The Terminal (2004)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 May 2010

Making Viktor a Middle Eastern, a South Asian, or even a Bosnian tourist would have given this trite exercise an edge--and a measure of human pathos…
