Review of Holy Hell (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 12 Jul 2016

Review of Equals (2015)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 12 Jul 2016

The result is an increasingly humourless bit of time travel that doesn't take enough interest, let alone pleasure, in its own reality…

Review of Tickled (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 09 Jul 2016

Tickled is so weird, so unpredictable, it's hard to know how to categorize it…

Review of Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2016

Review of Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2016

Consisting entirely of Frank Zappa interviews and performances culled from three decades of footage, Eat That Question has an almost symphonic flow…

Review of Unlocking the Cage (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 06 Jul 2016

What's most interesting here, on the dramatic front, is the genuine engagement [Wise and company] achieve with judges and state's attorneys…

Review of Wiener-Dog (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 05 Jul 2016

There are surprising shards of tenderness here, and a fake intermission you won't soon forget…

Review of Last Cab to Darwin (2015)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 05 Jul 2016

The actors never let artifice get in the way of the movie's deep well of human feeling…

Review of The Daughter (2015)

Review of De Palma (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 28 Jun 2016

De Palma, based on the life of Brian, is an instant film-school classic, distilling a whole career into a tidy 107 minutes and offering a crash…

Review of The Amazing Nina Simone (2015)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 28 Jun 2016

As with Simone herself, there's more here to celebrate than regret…

Review of The Fits (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 23 Jun 2016

The tale is overly aestheticized, with ponderously aggressive sound editing and self-consciously discordant music constantly reminding viewers…

Review of Finding Dory (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 21 Jun 2016

If Dory lacks the imagination and surprise of its Nemosis, it still makes for a pleasant family outing, especially when paired with the gentle…

Review of Genius (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 14 Jun 2016

Is it ironic or merely inevitable that a film about the challenges of editing great writers should emerge still needing more passes in the…

Review of The World's End (2013)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 13 Jun 2016

Until it bogs down in multiple endings that could have been trimmed or even dropped, it operates as a surprisingly piercing metaphor for everyone's…

Review of Inglourious Basterds (2009)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 13 Jun 2016

Tarantino's tight script is playfully sharp in all languages…

Review of Maggie's Plan (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 09 Jun 2016

Review of Now You See Me 2 (2016)

By Ken Eisner (445) for Georgia Straight (1,078) on 09 Jun 2016
