Review of Despicable Me 2 (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Carrell's almost better this way, with his mugging fully abstracted by animation, whereas we start to miss Wiig's actual face…

Review of The Punk Singer (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Anderson's movie, like Hanna's music, is raw and propulsive, anti-indifferent…

Review of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Of course Stiller takes many liberties with Thurber's old chestnut, but there is a sense that its theme of yearning really means something to him…

Review of G.B.F. (2014)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Politically gentle but winningly averse to any kind of piety…

Review of Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Mostly it's a flattering array of poses for the sinewy young stars, Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara, whose august company we're urged to view…

Review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

As usual, the dialogue includes certain important-seeming nouns which bushy beards and thick theatrical accents make difficult to discern…

Review of Muscle Shoals (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Camalier's tuneful if somewhat overlong anecdotal history does the most justice to the Muscle Shoals sound just by listening to it…

Review of We're the Millers (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

At one point Aniston does a strip tease to create a diversion, presumably from her own heart of gold…

Review of Gloria (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Lelio's non-restrictively comedic scenario, scripted by him and Gonzalo Maza, makes a great space for García's wholesale refusal of self-pity…

Review of Closed Circuit (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Even allowing that the shortcomings of tactfulness are partly what it's about, the film's own tactfulness feels vaguely unsatisfying…

Review of Wadjda (2012)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

It has a neat, sly way of folding complex pissed-off politics into crowd-pleasing narrative simplicity…

Review of Homefront (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Director Gary Fleder gets into the rubbishy mood with ease, and there's an appealing if undisciplined generosity about the inclusion of supporting…

Review of The Armstrong Lie (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

As for the historical record of [Armstrong's] legacy, Gibney's doc makes a good first draft…

Review of Enough Said (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

How it all plays out, even without the unexpected layer of wistful Gandolfini remembrance, is sad and funny at the same time…

Review of Bert Stern - Original Madman (2011)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

The latest in a long parade of limp couture-chronicle documentaries…

Review of Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

The Coens can be so good when they just get over themselves…

Review of The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

While DiCaprio lets loose portraying Belfort's plutocratic debauchery, Scorsese looks on with kid-in-candy-store glee…

Review of Don Jon (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Gordon-Levitt's confidence is appealing, even if the film itself mistakes redundancy for profundity…

Review of Gloria (2013)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Lelio's non-restrictively comedic scenario, scripted by him and Gonzalo Maza, makes a great space for García's wholesale refusal of self-pity…

Review of Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story (2012)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Feb 2014

Ungerer has a light touch with weighty absurdity…
