Review of That Awkward Moment (2014)

By Lewis Beale (134) for News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) (43) on 30 Sep 2014

An extremely attractive cast fails to overcome the clichés in writer/director Tim Gormican's film…

Review of A Royal Affair (2012)

By Lewis Beale (134) for News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) (43) on 30 Sep 2014

The volatile mix of sex and politics is at the core of the sumptuously produced Danish film A Royal Affair, which, by underplaying its combustible…

Review of The One I Love (2014)

By Lewis Beale (134) for News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) (43) on 09 Sep 2014

It's a shame these two compelling actors do not appear in a better film. The One I Love certainly has its good points, but they are only fleeting…

Review of A Most Wanted Man (2014)

By Lewis Beale (134) for News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) (43) on 24 Jul 2014

Intelligent filmmaking is rare enough these days, and intelligent films taking an ethically probing approach to the war on terror even rarer…

Review of Life Itself (2014)

By Lewis Beale (134) for News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) (43) on 23 Jul 2014

Life Itself makes a good case for a larger-than-life human who left us all a little richer for his presence…

Review of Chef (2014)

By Lewis Beale (134) for News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) (43) on 03 Jun 2014

Like all good foodie movies, Chef works not only because of the cooking scenes, but because it is a beautiful portrayal of the passion and…

Review of Fading Gigolo (2013)

By Lewis Beale (134) for News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) (43) on 13 May 2014

Despite the charm of the actors in this film, and Allen's frenetic, mostly unfunny attempts at comedy, there's not a single moment in Fading…

Review of The Lunchbox (2013)

By Lewis Beale (134) for News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) (43) on 17 Apr 2014

There are no big scenes or intense dramatic moments; it's filled with observational details about character and place, adding up to a subtle…

Review of Gloria (2013)

By Lewis Beale (134) for News & Observer (Raleigh, NC) (43) on 02 Apr 2014

Brilliantly brought to life by actress Paulina García, Gloria is not afraid to put herself out there at a Santiago dance club for over-50s,…

Review of The Little Traitor (2009)

By Lewis Beale (134) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 05 Dec 2013

Despite this promising subject matter, the film runs out of steam two-thirds of the way through and becomes a sort of Palestinian Porky's,…

Review of The English Surgeon (2007)

By Lewis Beale (134) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 22 Jul 2009

Stirring, heartwarming documentary about English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who donates his time bringing modern medicine to the Ukraine…

Review of Soul Power (2009)

By Lewis Beale (134) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 16 Jun 2009

Documentary about the three-day music festival preceding the famous Ali-Foreman fight has its moments, but plays too much like what it is…

Review of The Merry Gentleman (2008)

By Lewis Beale (134) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 28 Apr 2009

Interesting, downbeat directorial debut by Michael Keaton marred by a needlessly ambiguous ending…

Review of O'Horten (2007)

By Lewis Beale (134) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 16 Apr 2009

Well-intentioned piece of Norwegian whimsy may be too low-key for its own good…

Review of Sugar (2008)

By Lewis Beale (134) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 23 Mar 2009

Fictionalized tale of a Dominican baseball player trying to make it in the States is also a wonderfully observant film about acculturation…

Review of Sugar (2010)

By Lewis Beale (134) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 23 Mar 2009

Fictionalized tale of a Dominican baseball player trying to make it in the States is also a wonderfully observant film about acculturation…

Review of Tokyo Sonata (2008)

By Lewis Beale (134) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 13 Mar 2009

The effect of unemployment on a middle-class Japanese family makes for powerful storytelling until an awkward shift in tone about two-thirds…

Review of Sherman's Way (2008)

By Lewis Beale (134) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 06 Mar 2009

Cute fish-out-of-water comedy is a lightweight but inoffensive time-waster…

Review of Everlasting Moments (2008)

By Lewis Beale (134) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 23 Feb 2009
