Review of The Cleaners (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 21 Nov 2018

Eighty-eight minutes is not nearly enough time to give full attention to every thread of critique here, but The Cleaners does a respectable…

Review of Say Her Name: The Life and Death of Sandra Bland (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 18 Nov 2018

What the film does best is bear witness to what happened on the day of the arrest and place it in the context of Bland's political life…

Review of Speed Kills (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 15 Nov 2018

Scurfield's directing debut is marred by all manner of clunkiness, from the embarrassing performance of Kellan Lutz (playing Lansky's chip-on-shoulder…

Review of Under the Wire (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 15 Nov 2018

Suffice to say there are twists, physical perils and moments of self-sacrifice…

Review of Amazing Grace (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 13 Nov 2018

Amazing Grace will not enter the pantheon of concert films — it's somewhat shapeless as a movie, and gives little sense of emotional insight…

Review of Fail State (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 12 Nov 2018

It gives the feature doc treatment to a topic TV journalists (and news-comedy hero John Oliver) have looked at over the decades — showing…

Review of In Search of Greatness (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 09 Nov 2018

Though some of its insights might sound like common sense from the outside, the doc sees many places where they go against the grain; it's…

Review of In a Relationship (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 08 Nov 2018

Though its tone is amiable and its performances are (mostly) professional, it's hard to care if these four people live happily ever after or…

Review of Weightless (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 08 Nov 2018

Though hardly a failure, the serious-minded work is less affecting than it might've been, relying sometimes on hints that are needlessly ambiguous…

Review of Narcissister Organ Player (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 08 Nov 2018

Certain niche audiences will find it fascinating and/or emotionally powerful, but — among those who are unfazed by the sight of a masked…

Review of Chef Flynn (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 05 Nov 2018

The Food Network crowd will go nuts for the doc, but beyond the shots of luscious dishes, there's a pretty interesting character study here as well…

Review of Nobody's Fool (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 02 Nov 2018

Few mainstream romantic comedies are so brazen or as unconvincing in their third acts…

Review of Unlovable (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 01 Nov 2018

A lack of psychological depth probably isn't fatal for a lite get-your-act-together dramedy, but it might've made this hard-to-love protagonist…

Review of Indivisible (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 26 Oct 2018

Has clear appeal for heartland Christians who are more concerned with uncomplicated edification than with storytelling…

Review of Silencio (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 25 Oct 2018

Deeply felt if not always convincing, the sophomore feature (the director's first, Las Lloronas, was in 2004) has the otherworldly flavor that…

Review of Silêncio (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 25 Oct 2018

Deeply felt if not always convincing, the sophomore feature (the director's first, Las Lloronas, was in 2004) has the otherworldly flavor that…

Review of Silencio (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 24 Oct 2018

Deeply felt if not always convincing, the sophomore feature (the director's first, Las Lloronas, was in 2004) has the otherworldly flavor that…

Review of Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 24 Oct 2018

Having invested a bit of time early on to the dawn of the internet, Trust Machine has shown us how beautiful inventions can be twisted by entrenched…

Review of The Bill Murray Stories: Life Lessons Learned from a Mythical Man (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 24 Oct 2018

At some point, all the analysis drains the Bill Murray-ness out of these delightful encounters, whose inexplicability is presumably key to…

Review of Brewmaster (2018)

By John Defore (1,351) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 19 Oct 2018

Moderately informative but almost as disappointing as his Hey Bartender, the doc may ride the coattails of its subject's surging popularity,…
