Review of Drinking Buddies (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 01 Aug 2013

Less precise and cohesive than much of Joe Swanberg's recent work, as its small, improvisational skeleton struggles to meet the demands of…

Review of Only God Forgives (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 14 Jul 2013

Review of Computer Chess (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 10 Jul 2013

A movie which sits at the nexus between spoken and written language, the latter mostly of the programming variety…

Review of Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 27 Jun 2013

Review of Sightseers (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 May 2013

This sardonic depiction of Britain, as a land where a thin veneer of strained politesse and fussy specificity of tastes masks a throbbing heart…

Review of Before Midnight (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Apr 2013

These films have always been about the power of words, their ability to bridge gulfs of time and space, the thrill of ideas and opinions taking…

Review of The Patience Stone (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 16 Apr 2013

While Atiq Rahimi's film may peel away the many layers of its female lead like an onion, the end result is still just an onion…

Review of Jurassic Park (1993)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 01 Apr 2013

Now a 20-year-old antique slapped with a superfluous 3D transfer, Jurassic Park still has the power to amaze…

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 01 Apr 2013

Review of The Happy Poet (2010)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 18 Mar 2013

Like its sad-sack main character, whose closed-off personality makes him hard to fully understand or sympathize with, The Happy Poet is too…

Review of Reality (2015)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Mar 2013

Matteo Garrone has a sure eye for outlandish set pieces that exhibit the expansive outlines of his ideas, but these spectacles are sporadic,…

Review of The We and the I (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Mar 2013

Review of Rubberneck (2013)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 17 Feb 2013

Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 16 Dec 2012

It certainly suffers from the staleness of its off-the-cuff, improv-inspired mode of comedy, which prizes free-form riffing over organically…

Review of Rust and Bone (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 16 Nov 2012
