Review of The Adam Project (2022)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 10 Mar 2022

The premise is intriguing and the cast is top-notch but, taken as a whole, The Adam Project comes up short…

Review of Fresh (2022)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 04 Mar 2022

I don’t for a moment believe the film has widespread, mainstream appeal (hence the decision of Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures to bypass…

Review of The Batman (2022)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 01 Mar 2022

At a time when many comic book franchises are seeking to go bigger, with cosmic beings and multiverses, The Batman’s down-to-earth approach…

Review of Marry Me (2022)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 11 Feb 2022

Marry Me isn’t good enough to transcend the limitations of the genre but it’s a passably enjoyable throwback to the heyday of rom-coms…

Review of Blacklight (2022)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 10 Feb 2022

In terms of storytelling, excitement, and overall entertainment value, Blacklight is a black hole…

Review of Death on the Nile (2022)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 10 Feb 2022

Die-hard Christie purists may be disappointed by some of the changes but, on the whole, Death on the Nile is faithful enough to tell the story…

Review of I Want You Back (2022)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 10 Feb 2022

Most rom-coms take vague stabs at humor while focusing on the romance. Here, the balance is shifted…

Review of Moonfall (2022)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 03 Feb 2022

There’s nothing worthwhile here; the landscape of wretched banality offers only wasted time and a sense of despair…

Review of Sundown (2022)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 02 Feb 2022

Throughout the entire production, there’s an excellent sense of place with both the touristy and less friendly aspects of Acapulco contrasting…

Review of The King's Daughter (2022)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 20 Jan 2022

As a streaming offering available as part of a subscription package, it might be considered an adequate way to pass 90 minutes but as a reason…

Review of The 355 (2022)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 10 Jan 2022

The special effects are suitably impressive and mostly understated (or at least as understated as is possible for a high-tech spy thriller)…

Review of Parallel Mothers (2021)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 05 Jan 2022

Despite some of the seemingly obtuse screenwriting decisions made by Almodovar, Parallel Mothers is a strong, affecting drama that asks tough…

Review of The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 03 Jan 2022

The Matrix Resurrections is a waste of time and money…

Review of The Lost Daughter (2021)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 03 Jan 2022

The Lost Daughter uses tone, location, and a string of expert performances to leave an impression, even if the story itself is unremarkable…

Review of The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 03 Jan 2022

Macbeth may be among the Bard’s weakest popular plays (opinion is, of course, divided) but this is one of the better cinematic conversions…

Review of The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021)

Review of Better Than Chocolate (1999)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 02 Jan 2022

Wheeler is extremely secure in filming the sex scenes - they are inarguably erotic - but she has trouble with serious drama…

Review of Don't Look Up (2021)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 23 Dec 2021

With a generic cast, Don’t Look Up would have been a disappointment…

Review of Licorice Pizza (2021)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 22 Dec 2021

A warm and loving Valentine to the San Fernando Valley of the 1970s, it never allows nostalgia to overwhelm narrative, although there’s plenty…
