Review of Lady and the Tramp (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 04 Nov 2019

The story gets a bit more involving as it goes, though some elements that might've been memorable (a musical number from a dog played by Janelle…

Review of Bloody Marie (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 31 Oct 2019

Susanne Wolff, who impressed critics last year in Wolfgang Fischer's Styx, makes another strong turn here, grounding what could have become…

Review of Countdown (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 24 Oct 2019

A pedestrian thriller whose personal-tech gimmick is even more thinly imagined than one might guess, it's a jumble of cheap jump scares made…

Review of Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 22 Oct 2019

It suffers greatly from obeying the imperative the first sequel established: Trying to blow minds and up the ante the way that FX-pioneering…

Review of Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 16 Oct 2019

Rounding up all the original's stars and throwing several more surviving human characters into the mix, the pic is plenty entertaining for…

Review of Jexi (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 11 Oct 2019

Nearly everything misfires here — bizarrely so, since we can see where the laughs should come, how they would work, and how a more competent…

Review of The Addams Family (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 10 Oct 2019

A movie so bland and forgettable it hardly merits a groan from the Frankenstein-like butler called Lurch, The Addams Family strongly suggests…

Review of Fantastic Fungi (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 09 Oct 2019

If they don't know going in, most viewers will be surprised in the credits to learn this is the voice of Brie Larson…

Review of Harpoon (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 04 Oct 2019

It's also — for better and worse — never quite as grim as its grisly, sometimes gag-inducing action might suggest…

Review of Wrinkles the Clown (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 04 Oct 2019

While it hardly sells Wrinkles as a culture-shaking phenomenon, this modest documentary will play best to those who enjoy being creeped out…

Review of Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 29 Sep 2019

The documentary — a polished directing debut for veteran sound editor Costin — will leave many geekier audience members wishing it were…

Review of Running with the Devil (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 19 Sep 2019

Though not quite as devoid of personality as those names and its boilerplate dialogue, the film nevertheless plays like a flowchart in search…

Review of Guns Akimbo (2020)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 14 Sep 2019

The ingredients for an engagingly ridiculous action pic are here, but the pacing's all wrong…

Review of American Son (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 14 Sep 2019

Any failure to expand into cinema's possibilities is overshadowed by the uniformly strong performances in a four-person cast led by an excellent…

Review of Human Capital (2020)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 14 Sep 2019

Engrossing on a moment-to-moment scale thanks so some very fine performances, the film doesn't click together in the transformative way such…

Review of Moonlight Sonata: Deafness in Three Movements (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 13 Sep 2019

The documentary plays like a home movie that snowballed, causing its maker to overestimate her subject's relevance to the outside world…

Review of Sound of Metal (2020)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 12 Sep 2019

A film about the sudden onset of deafness that is too attentive to specifics of character and setting to ever feel like a rote disability drama…

Review of Tattoo Uprising (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 12 Sep 2019

Govenar is not what you'd call a natural filmmaker…

Review of Depraved (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 12 Sep 2019

The film captures the cost of Henry's well-intentioned sin, following this pained new creature out into the world and, very briefly, giving…
