Review of 45 Years (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 22 Jan 2016

Understated to the point of being underwhelming…

Review of Carol (1970)

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 22 Jan 2016

Though some may be left cold by the remove at which Haynes keeps us from his superlative leads, others will be putty in his gifted hands…

Review of Brooklyn (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 22 Jan 2016

Just because you can never go home again doesn't mean you can't make a new one…

Review of Carol (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 22 Jan 2016

Though some may be left cold by the remove at which Haynes keeps us from his superlative leads, others will be putty in his gifted hands…

Review of Carol (1990)

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 22 Jan 2016

Though some may be left cold by the remove at which Haynes keeps us from his superlative leads, others will be putty in his gifted hands…

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 22 Jan 2016

Review of The Big Short (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 22 Jan 2016

McKay's comic sensibilities are suited to highlighting the many absurdities of this situation, but they don't gel with the film's eventual…

Review of Heart of a Dog (1976)

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 22 Jan 2016

This is cinematic free association, with one tangent leading to another and another until you've forgotten the original thread…

Review of The Forest (2016)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Jan 2016

These woods are intrinsically terrifying…

Review of The Forest (2016)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Jan 2016

Before devolving into the same series of demonic faces and jump-scares we've seen time and again, The Forest is a genuinely unnerving mood piece…

Review of The Revenant (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 06 Jan 2016

The Revenant isn't beautiful to look at because Iñárritu wants you take in the sights; it's beautiful because he wants you to know that there's…

Review of Anomalisa (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 06 Jan 2016

These are the most tired-looking puppets you've ever seen, their sagging bodies and droopy eyes betraying two lifetimes of disappointment and…

Review of The Hateful Eight (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 23 Dec 2015

These are wolves, and most of them don't even bother disguising themselves in sheep's clothing…

Review of The Suspect (2013)

By Michael Nordine (446) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 17 Dec 2015

Witnessing this play out is more exhausting than exciting…

Review of The Suspect (2013)

By Michael Nordine (446) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 17 Dec 2015

Witnessing this play out is more exhausting than exciting…

Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul (157) on 17 Dec 2015

There are echoes of the past in each of these characters, but they resonate in new ways…

Review of Karski & The Lords of Humanity (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 30 Nov 2015

In their abstraction, a number of striking animated sequences prove more effective in conveying these horrors than the talking-head segments…

Review of I Remember You (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 24 Nov 2015

[Sparrow] zigs where you expect her to zag (not always in the best of ways), and though I Remember You ends up exactly where you expect it…

Review of OzLand (2015)

By Michael Nordine (446) for Village Voice (8,525) on 19 Oct 2015
