Review of Hotel Artemis (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 Jun 2018

It’s essentially the Hotel Earle from “Barton Fink,” augmented by the latest in robotic surgical techniques for bullet extraction…

Review of Ocean's Eight (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Jun 2018

It’s smooth, and far from inept. But it isn’t much fun. That’s all you want from a certain kind of heist picture, isn’t it? Fun…

Review of Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Jun 2018

Without undue fawning, Neville’s moving portrait does a lovely job of presenting Rogers as two people, the public figure and the private…

Review of Hereditary (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Jun 2018

Above all, there’s Collette, who sometimes can overdeliver a dramatic moment or an aghast reaction, but in this storytelling context she’s…

Review of Filmworker (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Jun 2018

Filmworker is a first-rate account of the ongoing creative process some call dysfunctional. Well, anyone would call it that, actually…

Review of Upgrade (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 May 2018

Whannell is learning how forward motion can allow a filmmaker to get away with some pretty outlandish brutality…

Review of Adrift (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 May 2018

They never quite got the script right, but director Kormakur toggles well enough. And Woodley sees it through…

Review of First Reformed (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 May 2018

An act of spiritual inquiry, a coolly assured example of cinematic scholarship in subtly deployed motion and one of the strongest pictures of 2018…

Review of On Chesil Beach (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 May 2018

The ending is very different from the novella, and I was surprised at its shameless, ruthless emotional effectiveness…

Review of The Seagull (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 May 2018

When it works it’s enjoyable; when it doesn’t, it falls into a generic sort of bustle, missing the darker, more troubling layers underneath…

Review of The Seagull (2018)

Review of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 May 2018

Alden Ehrenreich resembles a young, somewhat graver Robert Wagner, though he’s a better actor than the young Robert Wagner was…

Review of Deadpool 2 (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 May 2018

Deadpool 2 is just like “Deadpool” only more so…

Review of Life of the Party (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 May 2018

The movie’s not as slapstick-dependent as advertised…

Review of Black Sheep (2006)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 May 2018

I did like seeing the (fakey-looking) sheep take flying neck-high leaps at various human throats, in scenes recalling the killer rabbit in…

Review of Disobedience (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 May 2018

Disobedience sometimes wants for rougher edges, and a fuller characterization for Weisz to play…

Review of Claire's Camera (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 May 2018

Strange is a word that pops up frequently in Claire’s Camera, a lovely doodle and the latest from South Korean writer-director Hong Sang-soo…

Review of Tully (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 May 2018

At its spiky, intermittent best, Tully is the best work Cody has done in the conventional feature format since “Juno.” And yet I’m all…

Review of The Rider (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Apr 2018
