Review of The Salesman (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 Feb 2017

Review of The Founder (2016)

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

Certain things get fudged in The Founder, among them Kroc's middle marriage, and director Hancock can't completely resolve the warring strains…

Review of Mifune: The Last Samurai (2016)

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

Nobody in cinema can rival the unique, electric combination of scowling power and exuberant physicality of Mifune…

Review of Live by Night (2016)

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

The damper here is Affleck, who appears to have been too concerned with placing himself just so, and then posing, so that nothing drew attention…

Review of Timecrimes (2007)

Review of Silence (2016)

The easiest thing you can say about Silence is that it's a labor of love, made by a valiant soldier for his chosen storytelling medium…

Review of Silence (2017)

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

Scorsese has lived with his love of this material for a long time. Maybe too long…

Review of 20th Century Women (2016)

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

Review of Nacho Libre (2006)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Dec 2016

Review of 13th (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 Dec 2016

It's a crazy amount of ground to cover, but only rarely does 13th sacrifice clarity for cinematic energy…

Review of Inside Man (2006)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Dec 2016

The best scene in Inside Man is one of the simplest, a cat-and-mouser, wherein the hostage negotiator played by Washington pays a visit to…

Review of Assassin's Creed (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Dec 2016
