Review of Jaws (1975)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Jul 2013

A near Hitchcockian exercise in transference of guilt and making the audience pay for its illicit pleasures…

Review of Panic Room (2002)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Jul 2013

Like the shelter for which it is named, Panic Room is an efficiently tooled construction (albeit one whose success is overly predicated on…

Review of Spider-Man 2 (2004)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 05 Jul 2013

As much as I enjoy Spidey's high-flying Cheez-Doodle swoops through the skyscraper canyons of a digitally rearranged midtown Manhattan, I get…

Review of Nothing but the Truth (2008)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Jun 2013

In the spirit of its title, Nothing but the Truth pivots on a plot twist that's both good and fair…

Review of Moon (2009)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 Jun 2013

Impressively pulled together on a modest budget, Moon has a strong lead and a valid philosophical premise but, despite Bell's fissured psyche,…

Review of Adaptation. (2002)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 Jun 2013

Adaptation's success in engaging the audience in the travails of creating a screenplay is extraordinary…

Review of Nancy, Please (2012)

By J. Hoberman (756) for ARTINFO.com (2) on 22 May 2013

The acting is disciplined (particularly impressive in that the characters are uniformly unsympathetic) and the timing is carefully worked out…

Review of Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 May 2013

An affable action hero in search of the planet's arch supervillain, Spurlock is less irritating than his obvious model, Michael Moore, but…

Review of Climates (2006)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 16 May 2013

A terrific movie in the Antonioni tradition, Climates confirms 47-year-old Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan as one of the world's most accomplished…

Review of Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 May 2013

Instead of plumbing the depths of spiritual degradation, Herzog's movie is--largely due to Cage's performance--almost fun…

Review of The White Ribbon (2009)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 05 May 2013

Detailed yet oblique, leisurely but compelling, perfectly cast and irreproachably acted, the movie has a seductively novelistic texture complete…

Review of The Road (2009)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 May 2013

Pale by comparison to an action thriller like Children of Men or gross out eco-catastrophe like Land of the Dead, squandering its ready-made…

Review of The Wild Bunch (1969)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Apr 2013

At once strongly metaphoric and shamelessly visceral, Peckinpah’s saga of outlaws on the lam is arguably the strongest Hollywood movie of…

Review of A Town Called Panic (2009)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 Apr 2013

A Town Called Panic, which has more strident colors and less synopsizable action than a year's worth of comic-book adventures, embodies a sensibility…

Review of The Girlfriend Experience (2009)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Apr 2013

Grey isn't the first porn actress to go straight, but she may be the first to allegorize her own situation--projecting an on-screen self-confidence…

Review of Performance. (1970)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 Mar 2013

Performance seems more like eye candy than castor oil in the brave new world of Freddy Got Fingered…

Review of The Believer (2001)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 19 Mar 2013

Bean has built a bonfire of contradictions and the ensuing conflagration illuminates a bit of the world…

Review of Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst (2004)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 10 Mar 2013

Drawing on interviews with SLA co-founder Russ Little and amazing TV news footage, Robert Stone illuminates this fantastic narrative as vividly…

Review of 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 05 Mar 2013

Romanian writer-director Cristian Mungiu's brilliantly discomfiting second feature is one long premonition of disaster…

Review of Wendy and Lucy (2008)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 26 Feb 2013

Trembling throughout on the verge of a tearful breakdown, but far too dignified to allow her character to choke up, Williams delivers a sensationally…
