Review of Like Someone in Love (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 30 Sep 2012

Plays out as a city-mouse rejoinder to the rustic, open-air daydream of Certified Copy, a snarl of thorny free jazz to that film's graceful aria…

Review of Head Games (2012)

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

While Steve James's documentary is persuasive on an informational level, it doesn't do enough to explore the human side of its subject matter…

Review of Detropia (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 03 Sep 2012

Seems to be looking for answers, but the ones it finds are too close to the surface to be satisfying…

Review of Lawless (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Aug 2012

Lawless may be full of half-hearted overtures toward depth and emotional complexity, but the film's prestige sheen is mostly a sham; the real…

Review of Almayer's Folly (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 Aug 2012

Fervently passionate and formally meticulous, the latest stunning coup for a director who's made a career of repurposing archetypal storylines…

Review of Farewell, My Queen (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 09 Jul 2012

Control is the operative element in Benoît Jacquot's work, with the main caveat being that when someone has it, someone else does not…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Jul 2012

While his classic hyperbolic visual style is back in force, Stone can't bother to muster any of his usual righteous anger, instead mischanneling…

Review of Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 03 Jun 2012

More focused on emotion than adventure, it teases out the possibilities and perils of time travel without embroiling itself in the confusion…

Review of Nobody Else But You (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 May 2012

While Nobody Else But You aspires to a kind of French Fargo, it forgets the primary qualities that made that film work…

Review of Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Apr 2012

While the documentary offers us a story that needs to be told, it does so in very non-Joffrey ways…

Review of Elles (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 17 Apr 2012

The film is ultimately draining because of the way it handles Anne, stranding a potentially dynamic character in two dueling scenarios, both…

Review of The Hunter (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Mar 2012

The film refuses to focus on its core story, hedging its bets with forays into family drama, environmental thriller, and corporate intrigue…

Review of The Hunter (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Mar 2012

The film refuses to focus on its core story, hedging its bets with forays into family drama, environmental thriller, and corporate intrigue…

Review of Wanderlust (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Feb 2012

Wagging a limp dick at a host of up-to-the-minute issues, Wanderlust, manages to feel current, and relatively funny, without ever becoming…

Review of The Secret World of Arrietty (2010)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 14 Feb 2012

Offers exactly what its title promises, unveiling this secret milieu through thoroughly meticulous animation…

Review of The Innkeepers (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 30 Jan 2012

Winding up the tension to an almost stubborn degree, Ti West forestalls the inevitable disappointment of its release, a blow that's further…

Review of The Grey (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Jan 2012

There's little in Joe Carnahan's previous films, marked by their frenetic, fanboy-friendly overindulgences, to predict the cold blast of The…

Review of Red Tails (2012)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Jan 2012

Where Spielberg has made WWII a venue for his sanctimonious side, a platform to convince viewers that war is indeed hell, Lucas is still in…

Review of El Sicario, Room 164 (2010)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Dec 2011

A lot of evil is laid on the table in El Sicario, and the film makes a big, if exquisitely subtle show, of theorizing that there's no way to…

Review of Inni (2011)

By Jesse Cataldo (136) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Nov 2011

As a document of a live show it looks like nothing else, but Vincent Morisset's greater aspirations, attempts to define or sum up the band…
