Review of Us (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 08 Mar 2019

Clearly the work of an ambitious writer/director who can see himself inheriting the mantle of Rod Serling…

Review of I'm Not Here (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 06 Mar 2019

Following a few years after 3 Geezers, Schumacher's reviled feature directing debut starring Simmons and Tim Allen, I'm Not Here represents…

Review of Joseph Pulitzer: Voice of the People (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 28 Feb 2019

Summarizing the great strides he made for journalism without ignoring his colorful flaws, Oren Rudavsky's Joseph Pulitzer: Voice of the People…

Review of The Aftermath (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 18 Feb 2019

Where it might have been an old-fashioned melodrama with credible historical appeal, instead it suggests an old-school celluloid epic whose…

Review of Midnight Family (2019)

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

Though its micro view limits its usefulness in big discussions of public policy — it's easy to imagine American partisans using it as evidence…

Review of Happy Death Day 2U (2019)

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

Along the way, though, 2U throws enough wrinkles into the first film's action — if you don't remember it well, rewatch it before seeing this…

Review of Untogether (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 07 Feb 2019

The film's emotional intelligence gets it past the occasional false note, and the strength of its central performances keeps us engaged even…

Review of The Mustang (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 07 Feb 2019

De Clermont-Tonnerre shows admirable restraint, knowing that, in her carefully constructed frames, it can be enough just to get Roman's newly…

Review of The Death of Dick Long (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 07 Feb 2019

It will entertain many, and deserves credit for its generosity to characters who, for all their bad decisions, are more complex than the stereotypes…

Review of Beneath the Leaves (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 06 Feb 2019

A by-the-book script and stiff direction fail to milk any suspense from this scenario, and in the absence of thrills, the picture's heavy focus…

Review of To Dust (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 05 Feb 2019

With matter-of-fact Jewish wit, it accepts these beliefs as the story's ground rules, understanding that Shmuel won't make peace with his wife's…

Review of Corporate Animals (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 02 Feb 2019

Veteran comic actors make the most of the not very original (though well-timed) one-liners the script gives them…

Review of The Sunlit Night (2020)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 02 Feb 2019

Slate and Sharp (a Tony winner for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) can't be blamed for their lack of chemistry, and if sparks…

Review of Luce (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 01 Feb 2019

Teasing the viewer with ambiguous evidence is one thing, but the film doesn't seem to know what truth is behind the curtain…

Review of The Brink (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 01 Feb 2019

This Bannon is a snooze, occasionally making a wry aside but nearly never saying anything unusually smart or new…

Review of Cold Pursuit (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 30 Jan 2019

The action never stops being fun, and it eventually does make excellent use of the heavy machinery Nels' job requires…

Review of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 30 Jan 2019

Made with the intelligence and good taste one expects from Ejiofor, the involving film cares about much more than the sweeping images of triumph…

Review of Blinded by the Light (2019)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 30 Jan 2019

Light is just as faithful to formula as Bend It Like Beckham and just as reliant on its lead's likability; here, newcomer Viveik Kalra radiates…

Review of Big Time Adolescence (2020)

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