Review of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 23 Mar 2016

It may not be hip or cool or young, or even particularly hilarious, but a night with the Portokaloses is like any family reunion: fun, awkward,…

Review of The Bronze (2016)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 16 Mar 2016

The movie doesn't abandon its gleefully caustic tone, or its often disagreeable (but just as often funny) protagonist easily…

Review of Touched with Fire (2016)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 18 Feb 2016

Dalio steers the film away from the movie clichés that romanticize the condition…

Review of Race (2016)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 18 Feb 2016

Review of The Lady in the Van (2015)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 18 Feb 2016

Maggie Smith gives a performance so vibrant, so sharply funny and at the same time so painfully honest, she single-handedly rescues the movie…

Review of Son of Saul (2015)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 12 Feb 2016

Nemes is unsparing -- almost merciless -- in his insistence that we go beyond merely bearing witness…

Review of Hail, Caesar! (2016)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 04 Feb 2016

This is one of those movies where the actors are plainly having a great time; they're all terrific and give the Coens loose, funny, deadpan…

Review of 45 Years (2015)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 03 Feb 2016

A quiet and chilling look at the fault line opening under a long-term marriage…

Review of The Finest Hours (2016)

Bland, family-friendly entertainment that was once a Hollywood standard…

Review of The Revenant (2015)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 07 Jan 2016

This is The Passion of the Christ with all of the suffering, but without the mystery of faith and redemption…

Review of Carol (1990)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 23 Dec 2015

The film's cool, distant beauty is mirrored in the performance of the wonderful Cate Blanchett, who plays the wealthy, older and experienced…

Review of Joy (2015)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 23 Dec 2015

A movie that waits until the third act to introduce Bradley Cooper is either totally crazy or unbelievably confident. Luckily, Joy is both…

Review of Carol (1974)

The film's cool, distant beauty is mirrored in the performance of the wonderful Cate Blanchett, who plays the wealthy, older and experienced…

Review of The Big Short (2015)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 23 Dec 2015

Until you see The Big Short - and I encourage you to do so as soon as possible - it's hard to imagine the near-miracle that director Adam McKay…

Review of Concussion (2015)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 21 Dec 2015

The league itself emerges as the truly scary bogeyman in this movie -- which, it's safe to say, plenty of mothers and fathers will view as…

Review of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (2015)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 17 Dec 2015

The ending does teach a predictably sweet message, but it's the journey that's more than half the fun in this appealing movie perfect for a…

Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 16 Dec 2015

At the risk of committing blasphemy, The Force Awakens is the best of the seven Star Wars -- followed closely, of course, by the 1977 original…

Review of Victor Frankenstein (2015)

By Joanna Connors (56) for Cleveland Plain Dealer (828) on 24 Nov 2015
