Review of Goat (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 22 Sep 2016

Review of Command and Control (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 14 Sep 2016

The pace of the drama is riveting, as it jumps back through the decades to place the accident in the context of the nuclear arms race…

Review of Operation Avalanche (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 14 Sep 2016

Review of Anthropoid (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 16 Aug 2016

British director Sean Ellis has a knack for staging the film’s early plotting-the-scheme scenes in dimly lit, monochrome interiors, but the…

Review of Indignation (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 27 Jul 2016

The dean was more of a cartoon in Roth’s book, but Letts lends him a slippery wit that, much like the movie, is surprisingly potent…

Review of Men Go to Battle (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 06 Jul 2016

The shaggy, semi-focused but assuredly offbeat debut film from Zachary Treitz (co-written with House of Cards actress Kate Lyn Sheil) blends…

Review of Life, Animated (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 29 Jun 2016

The Suskinds’ humongous hearts are obviously in the right place and their openness is to be admired and encouraged — even if a book, more…

Review of Free State of Jones (2016)

Review of Confirmation (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 14 Apr 2016

Review of Criminal (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 13 Apr 2016

Criminal’s story moves like a fat cow. Costner and Oldman’s characters are sluggishly chasing after — irony alert…

Review of Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 31 Mar 2016

Though an undoubtedly fascinating journey into the artistic mind (and the 1970s and 80s New York City), Look at the Pictures never quite breaks…

Review of Remember (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 16 Mar 2016

Review of Misconduct (2016)

By Joe Mcgovern (126) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 10 Feb 2016

The movie’s silly-arty aesthetic is regurgitated Polanski, and there’s a shameless script steal from Presumed Innocent…
