Review of A Royal Affair (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 02 Jan 2013

Perhaps there's only so much to be done with a costume drama about illicit affairs and would-be coups…

Review of Amour (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 02 Jan 2013

On paper it's a welcome change of pace for Haneke, but his tendency to treat the couple as patients rather than characters -- at a cold remove…

Review of The Intouchables (2011)

By Michael Nordine (446) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 02 Jan 2013

Gives its subject too light a treatment for the life-affirming message to feel earned…

Review of My Brooklyn (2013)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 02 Jan 2013

As a paean to the sort of vibrant, quickly disappearing community that Brooklyn represents less now than it did in the past, her film works…

Review of A Dark Truth (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 30 Dec 2012

A Dark Truth is one of those unfortunate projects whose component parts are immediately at odds with one another…

Review of 28 Hotel Rooms (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Nov 2012

Not showing us every aspect of their lives is a fine, even novel, approach, but merely telling us about them instead feels like a fruitless…

Review of A Late Quartet (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Nov 2012

It's something of a relief that little is actually resolved in A Late Quartet; Zilberman is at his best when leaving narrative threads hanging…

Review of Just 45 Minutes from Broadway (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 09 Oct 2012

In an overlong sequence shot to resemble an actual play, the acting feels so forced, the staging so wooden, that it's impossible to be fully…

Review of Simon & the Oaks (2011)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Oct 2012

Lisa Ohlin's Simon and the Oaks has all the superficial elements of compelling drama but none of the interiority; it looks like a good movie…

Review of Smashed (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Oct 2012

Movies about drugs and alcohol might be a dime (bag) a dozen, but James Ponsoldt's Smashed is so beautifully shot and well acted as to transcend…

Review of The Prosecution of an American President (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Oct 2012

So unabashedly one-sided that the documentary is problematic even when the facts and figures check out…

Review of Decoding Deepak (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Oct 2012

Following the celebrity guru into Thailand for his ordainment as a Buddhist monk, the film is at its best when Gotham can't help but see through…

Review of The Iran Job (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 24 Sep 2012

Although it presents itself as merely the story of a professional basketball player named Kevin Sheppard, who, never quite making it to the…

Review of Harvest of Empire (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 24 Sep 2012

Harvest of Empire is never quite wrong, but it's effectiveness is inversely proportional to how hard it's trying…

Review of Backwards (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Sep 2012

Subplots are introduced only to be resolved within minutes, characters jettisoned at a moment's notice…

Review of Backwards (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Sep 2012

Subplots are introduced only to be resolved within minutes, characters jettisoned at a moment's notice…

Review of Head Games (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Sep 2012

While Head Games does feature a number of articulate and consistently intelligent talking-head interviews, it's ultimately not a satisfying…

Review of They Call It Myanmar: Lifting the Curtain (2012)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 17 Sep 2012

And yet it still works, so buoyed is the film by its open and honest take on a subject that would have been all too easy to turn into another…

Review of Hollywood to Dollywood (2011)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 Sep 2012

Even at a lean 81 minutes, though, Hollywood to Dollywood occasionally gets tiresome; what it does minute to minute is often less interesting…

Review of The Big Lebowski (1998)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 14 Aug 2012

There are few films that genuinely get better with each successive viewing. The Big Lebowski is one of them…
