Review of Palo Alto (2014)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Apr 2014

It presents little that wasn't already done better in Myth of the American Sleepover, an equally evocative tale of longing that was far more…

Review of Night Moves (1975)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Apr 2014

Like Michael Cera's two recent films with Sebastian Silva, Night Moves reveals the dark core contained within an actor's nice-guy neuroticism…

Review of Venus in Fur (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Apr 2014

After years of respectable filmmaking, it's refreshing to witness a reinvigorated Roman Polanski willing to once again delve deep into seedy…

Review of Blue Ruin (2014)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 19 Apr 2014

By reducing its principals to stock figures in an extended chess game, it ends up providing steady, neatly staged thrills, but little else…

Review of The Raid 2 (2014)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Mar 2014

It's all showy viscera, no ballet, and wan attempts at the gravity of something like Drug War, with implicit statements made about the deadening…

Review of Enemy (2014)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 10 Mar 2014

Jake Gyllenhaal embodies the two roles with real presence, establishing Adam's sniveling wimp and Anthony's striding jerk as two believably…

Review of The Monuments Men (2014)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 Feb 2014

George Clooney's film boils a big, messy maelstrom of theft and uncertainty down to a digestible, faintly appetizing mush…

Review of American Hustle (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Dec 2013

Formally ostentatious and unrepentantly messy, the film manages to implicitly convey the overdriven, coked-up confusion that many '70s period…

Review of Oldboy (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 26 Nov 2013

Spike Lee's version loses the one thing that really worked in the original, the sense of moral complication emerging out of the intertwined…

Review of Lenny Cooke (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 19 Nov 2013

While it verges on exploitation of the gentle giant at its core, it's also an effective bit of human drama, competently, and sometimes movingly,…

Review of Philomena (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 15 Nov 2013

A human-interest story that claims spite for human-interest stories, the film has some pretty divisive issues at its core that leave it torn…

Review of Dallas Buyers Club (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Oct 2013

Conventional but never sanctimonious, it balances out its familiar recovery angle with a healthy measure of sardonic wit…

Review of Bastards (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Oct 2013

Conditioning the audience to find dread in every seemingly innocent gesture, the film turns even the simplest touch between family members…

Review of The Wind Rises (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Sep 2013

Even if Hayao Miyazaki's career is complete, a work like this serves to remind us of the shining beacons he's left behind him, the testaments…
