Review of The Irishman (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Oct 2019

So, yes, it’s an epic of sorts…

Review of Burning Cane (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Oct 2019

The film favors more subtly melancholy strains and, at its best, a poetic touch…

Review of Parasite (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 Oct 2019

Like Jordan Peele’s “Get Out,” Bong’s Parasite expresses consequential ideas that matter to the filmmaker about the way we live today,…

Review of The Lighthouse (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Oct 2019

On its own terms, thanks to two fine, committed performances and a coastline made for this tall tale, The Lighthouse works its own stubborn…

Review of Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Oct 2019

Everyone on screen is good enough to do this sort of thing in their sleep, which isn’t to say Harrelson, Eisenberg, Stone, Breslin and Deutch…

Review of Gemini Man (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 Oct 2019

Gemini Man isn’t bad, but two Will Smiths — when one of them’s computer-animated — somehow feels like 66-75 percent of a real movie…

Review of Dolemite Is My Name (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 Oct 2019

At its best, director Brewer’s film lounges alongside such movies about moviemaking as “Ed Wood” (written by Scott Alexander and Larry…

Review of Joker (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 Oct 2019

In a year of mass culture that gave us HBO’s excellent “Chernobyl,” Joker can claim the grimmest depiction of a meltdown…

Review of The Laundromat (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Oct 2019

Soderbergh and Burns remain exceptionally well-matched collaborators…

Review of National Theatre Live: Fleabag (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Oct 2019

The stage version, the one recorded for posterity here, succeeds primarily as a performance showcase for Waller-Bridge…

Review of The Day Shall Come (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Sep 2019

The jokes, mostly bitter, deadpan asides in a depiction of U.S…

Review of Judy (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Sep 2019

Zellweger’s film — and it is hers — creates an intimate illusion that feels authentic, witty and affecting…

Review of The Visitor (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Sep 2019

Jenkins and The Visitor”make lovely music together…

Review of Ad Astra (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 Sep 2019

At heart, though, odd as it sounds, Gray has created a pocket-sized version of “Apocalypse Now.” Ad Astra bends the Francis Ford Coppola…

Review of Downton Abbey (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Sep 2019

It’s not a movie, really. It’s a commemorative “Downton Abbey” throw pillow…

Review of Hustlers (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 Sep 2019

The film’s half-real, half-fantasy treatment of a fact-based story is almost really good…

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Aug 2019

It’s a pretty interesting nature documentary as far as it goes…

Review of Brittany Runs a Marathon (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Aug 2019
