Review of Goat (2016)

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

There's a numbing aspect to Goat…

Review of La Chienne (1931)

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

The women's roles lack dimension and the bittersweet depth Renoir's later films explored so memorably…

Review of Queen of Katwe (2016)

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

Nair's film, her best in a long time, is hardly the first to use a chessboard as a symbol of one life's struggles. It is, however, one of the best…

Review of Snowden (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Sep 2016

It's fairly absorbing though, increasingly, a bit of an eye-roller, and it's designed, photographed and edited to make you itchy with paranoia…

Review of Little Men (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 31 Aug 2016

Any film with Jennifer Ehle, perfect as the tightly wound but loving therapist, tends to be worth seeing in the first place…

Review of The Bank Job (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 Aug 2016

Slick, ice-cold and enjoyable, The Bank Job is a bit of all right…

Review of Don't Breathe (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 Aug 2016

The film is a clever if increasingly mechanical suspense contraption, yanking our sympathies this way and that, before turning into a different…

Review of Southside with You (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 Aug 2016

Southside with You is best taken as a reminder of the value of the slow relational build, of taking your time and actually talking, and actually…

Review of Hands of Stone (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 Aug 2016

With Hands of Stone, Robert De Niro officially enters his Burgess Meredith-in-Rocky phase, bringing the ringside grizzle and rumpled gravitas…

Review of The Promotion (2008)

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

Then there's screenwriter Steve Conrad. He's interesting…

Review of Extract (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Aug 2016

The funniest American comedy of the summer…

Review of Ben-Hur (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 Aug 2016

The leading actors labor valiantly and to little effect…

Review of War Dogs (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Aug 2016

The movie coasts on a blase, easygoing highway of cynicism regarding how America conducts its business of war…

Review of America: Freedom to Fascism (2006)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Aug 2016

Aaron Russo's America: Freedom to Fascism can't even think straight, it's so mad…

Review of Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny (2006)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Aug 2016

A large amount of dope is smoked in The Pick of Destiny, perhaps the most since the salad days of Cheech & Chong. This may be the problem…

Review of Hell or High Water (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 Aug 2016

What the movie has, above all, is a dramatic line, clean and straight…

Review of Sausage Party (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 Aug 2016

I laughed a lot in the first half, before the movie's repetitive jackhammer pacing, which isn't ideal for any kind of comedy, began working…

Review of Pete's Dragon (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 Aug 2016

[Lowery] has made a larger, very different movie without losing his instincts, his directorial stealth or his ability to finesse his actors…

Review of Perfect Stranger (2007)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Aug 2016

It lacks the rutting nuttiness of Basic Instinct, even as it recycles much of that film's kiss-or-kill premise…

Review of Indignation (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 Aug 2016

Lerman's excellent as Marcus, capturing his principles as well as his bullheadedness. Sarah Gadon's Olivia is no less fine…
