Review of The Company You Keep (2012)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 02 Apr 2013

Far from engaged, the film practically surrenders in an arthritic faint…

Review of American Desi (2001)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 31 Mar 2013

Clubfooted but earnest, Pandya's movie never forgets about its second-gen issues, but never quite plumbs them, either…

Review of Somebody Up There Likes Me (2013)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Time Out (7,510) on 26 Mar 2013

The time-killing universe Byington has created makes sure we never forget how absurd he thinks the whole movie is. Fun for him, perhaps…

Review of Hilary and Jackie (1998)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Mar 2013

Hilary and Jackie tries far too hard to dictate emotional involvement right out of the gate, and you're left counting off the doom-laden cues…

Review of The Constant Gardener (2005)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 16 Mar 2013

Although le Carré's story may seem predictable and unduly focused on the plight of a pale, wealthy Old Worlder adrift in a sea of needy East…

Review of Reality (2015)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 Mar 2013

Garrone's film grows in your head afterward, making royal hash out of a cultural paradigm we'll be loath to remember years from now—if, by…

Review of Reality (2012)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 Mar 2013

Garrone's film grows in your head afterward, making royal hash out of a cultural paradigm we'll be loath to remember years from now—if, by…

Review of Far from Afghanistan (2012)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Boston Phoenix (1,372) on 07 Mar 2013

It remains something of a definitive statement on a runaway global disaster…

Review of The Monk (2011)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Time Out (7,510) on 05 Mar 2013

The sense of old-school piety as lust under inhuman pressure is juicy and polished, if a little earnest about spiritual conflict and too entranced…

Review of The Libertine (2004)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 27 Feb 2013

The Libertine's trouble lies precisely in its efforts at conjuring the historical past: No one in the film seems much more convinced than I…

Review of The End of Love (2013)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 26 Feb 2013

It's the kind of indie in which shrugging naturalism means nobody has a distinctive personality or energy, and the claustrophobic sense of…

Review of The Condemned (2013)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Time Out (7,510) on 26 Feb 2013

The filmmaker throws in a strangely irrelevant twist before he’s through, but despite a lavish dose of gothic style, The Condemned’s trek…

Review of Phantom (2013)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Time Out (7,510) on 26 Feb 2013

Manly, sharp-edged submarine B movies don’t come along often anymore — so consider this Cold War off-white-knuckler a welcome blast of…

Review of Hangmen Also Die! (1943)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 Feb 2013

The two-and-a-quarter-hour film has the iconic thrust of a silent; the pro-sacrifice resistance cant has an oddly jihadist tenor today…

Review of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Feb 2013

Confessions keeps its cards close, and Kaufman is perfectly capable of starving his screenplay to save it, and perfectly happy with being…

Review of Shrek (2001)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 10 Feb 2013

Desperately avoiding the risk of even a half-second of boredom, the movie is wall-to-window-to-door noise, babbling, and jokes…

Review of The Promise (2005)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 Jan 2013

You can't help wondering how the same Fifth Gen filmmaker who made Yellow Earth and Life on a String could've fallen on such hard times, or…

Review of Happy People: A Year in the Taiga (2010)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Time Out (7,510) on 23 Jan 2013

This Siberian jaunt, free from cultural weirdness and ethical barbed wire, is even more of a vacation for Werner Herzog than it first appears…

Review of Deep Blue Sea (1999)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Jan 2013

One of those hellishly predictable digital-monster gauntlets that makes you pity the actors…

Review of Nothing But a Man (1964)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Boston Phoenix (1,372) on 08 Jan 2013
