Review of The Shape of Water (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 Dec 2017

A sexy, violent, preposterous, beautiful fantasy, co-writer and director Guillermo del Toro’s most vivid and fully formed achievement since…

Review of Darkest Hour (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 Dec 2017

Darkest Hour pulls from both extremes of Oldman’s prodigious but often unexploited skill set, the subtlety as well as the flamboyance…

Review of It's Complicated (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Dec 2017

It's Complicated isn’t: It’s pretty simple. It’s simply a good time…

Review of The Disaster Artist (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 Nov 2017

Fans of “The Room” — they’re everywhere — will get something out of it, though I’d argue not enough; director Franco’s camera…

Review of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Nov 2017

Nothing elegant about Adams here, but she's terrific -- a sparkling screen presence. Her Earhart hoists this big-budget sequel above the routine…

Review of Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Nov 2017

Even when the movie loses its way narratively, Washington’s in there, slugging, building a living, breathing character out of Gilroy’s…

Review of Coco (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Nov 2017

Too often Coco mistakes chaos and calamity for comedy, and it’s a little perverse to prevent this particular story from becoming a full-on…

Review of The Heartbreak Kid (1972)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 19 Nov 2017

Monaghan’s comic timing saves this go-nowhere affair from 100 percent lousiness…

Review of Mudbound (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Nov 2017

A vividly acted, dramatically rich depiction, harsh and beautiful, of life and death in 1940s Mississippi, following two families of intertwined…

Review of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Nov 2017

For a while it’s engaging but pretty thin. Then it gets more interesting, especially for the actors…

Review of The Bounty Hunter (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 Nov 2017

We have to take the sexual tension on faith, as with everything in this formulaic glob of a script…

Review of Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 Nov 2017

Midway through a middling film adaptation, like this one, you realize it’s the same old clue-delivery mechanism, in a darker mood but also…

Review of Lady Bird (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Nov 2017

Watching Lady Bird is like flipping through a high school yearbook with an old friend, with each page leading to another anecdote, another…

Review of Takers (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 Nov 2017

Noisy, unsubtle, but it gets the job done…

Review of Princess Cyd (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 Nov 2017

The performances by Pinnick and Spence are clean, vivid and honestly felt, with a lot of the best work emerging nonverbally in the spaces between…

Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 Nov 2017

So it’s uneven, but the good stuff’s unusually lively and buoyant…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 Nov 2017

It wouldn’t raise questions about Harrelson’s prostheses and makeup, for starters, if the drama carried more urgency…

Review of A Bad Moms Christmas (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Nov 2017

A movie can be unreasonably formulaic and still be reasonably diverting, and A Bad Moms Christmas is the proof…

Review of Faces Places (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Oct 2017

This movie, a diary of a freewheeling, far-flung installation art project, combines chance and intuition and a humane eye…

Review of Wonderstruck (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Oct 2017

The performances, including a sweetly sincere and easygoing turn from the deaf actress Simmonds, become the audience’s way into Wonderstruck…
