Review of Son of Saul (2015)

By Jim Ridley (126) for Nashville Scene (147) on 12 Feb 2016

Son of Saul's achievement is to scrape away our benumbed awareness of the Final Solution in the abstract…

Review of Carol (1990)

By Jim Ridley (126) for Nashville Scene (147) on 23 Dec 2015

Control isn't just the formal rigor that Carol exhibits from the very first scene: It's the stifling exactitude required of its two main characters,…

Review of Brooklyn (2015)

By Jim Ridley (126) for Nashville Scene (147) on 04 Dec 2015

After a week of shameful anti-immigrant rhetoric, Brooklyn is the big-hearted bear hug of a movie a lot of folks could use…

Review of 2 Days in Paris (2007)

By Jim Ridley (126) for Village Voice (8,525) on 04 Jul 2015

Delpy shows Linklater's influence in her willingness to let actors work and walk at length, and she has an unusually playful style for an actor…

Review of War Dance (2007)

By Jim Ridley (126) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 Jul 2015

The movie comes across as desperately, even irritatingly contrived, but I'd be lying if I didn't say it overcame my naturally complacent instincts--which…

Review of The Eye (2008)

By Jim Ridley (126) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 24 May 2015

The entire movie is an object lesson in diminishing returns: of nagging shock cuts and blaring sound cues used as indiscriminately as joy buzzers;…

Review of Epic Movie (2007)

By Jim Ridley (126) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 23 May 2015

By the time this dud drops on NetFlix, it'll be as obsolete as a Chia pet jokebook…

Review of Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)

By Jim Ridley (126) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 20 Apr 2015

This is wall-to-wall mayhem that dashes from one stylish, splattery, nonsensical set-piece to the next, while the star attacks her silly role…

Review of Madea's Family Reunion (2006)

By Jim Ridley (126) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Dec 2014

Perry's vaudevillian shamelessness and indifference to committee-approved taste are energizing and frequently jaw-dropping…

Review of Crank: High Voltage (2009)

By Jim Ridley (126) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 02 Oct 2014

The diminishing returns of shock value are the movie's built-in joke, and it would be a lot funnier without the directors' unforgivably bratty…

Review of Margot at the Wedding (2007)

By Jim Ridley (126) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Oct 2014

Hard as it may be to imagine a comedy that inflicts all the psychic torment of Cries and Whispers, Baumbach has pulled off a more psychologically…

Review of Harsh Times (2005)

By Jim Ridley (126) for Village Voice (8,525) on 24 Jul 2014

Whatever political statement Ayer intended to make with his Gulf War veteran turned human time bomb is swamped by the movie's obnoxious badass…

Review of Kickin' It Old Skool (2007)

By Jim Ridley (126) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 19 Jul 2014

This ostensible comedy may be a new depths-of-hell low in the Emmanuel Lewis filmography, but for star Jamie Kennedy it’s par for the coarse…

Review of Black Christmas (1974)

By Jim Ridley (126) for Village Voice (8,525) on 09 Jul 2014
