Review of The Glass Castle (2017)

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

Review of Wind River (2017)

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

A genial 93-minute dash through the history, process and contemporary practice of film composition…

Review of Landline (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Jul 2017

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

Throughout Lady Macbeth we see Pugh's eyes, full of possibility and optimism at the outset, gradually darken. Even her breathing changes…

Review of Lions for Lambs (2007)

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

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

With a bare minimum of dialogue, and a brutal maximum of scenes depicting near-drowning situations in and around Dunkirk, France, in late May…

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 Jul 2017

Review of The Little Hours (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Jul 2017
