Review of Listen Up Philip (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Oct 2014

Writer-director Perry has made a bracing and very Roth-y study of ambition and itchy literary yearning…

Review of Stonehearst Asylum (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Oct 2014

Like Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, Stonehearst Asylum starts with the hysteria knob set at 11 and goes up from there…

Review of Birdman (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Oct 2014

Birdman proves that a movie - the grabbiest, most kinetic film ever made about putting on a play - can soar on the wings of its own technical…

Review of Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Oct 2014

Birdman proves that a movie — the grabbiest, most kinetic film ever made about putting on a play — can soar on the wings of its own technical…

Review of Dear White People (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Oct 2014

Dear White People isn't perfect. And yet the flaws really don't matter…

Review of Pride and Glory (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Oct 2014

Full of interesting little grace notes, and the cast is excellent, yet it grows more and more frustrating…

Review of St. Vincent (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 15 Oct 2014

For all the boozed and abusive amusement provided by the great Bill Murray in the good-enough St…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 15 Oct 2014

Whiplash is true to its title…

Review of Fury (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 15 Oct 2014

A handful of revisions, tweaks and adjustments, along with a musical score less bombastically grandiose, might've made this a film to remember…

Review of I Am Ali (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 Oct 2014

The film itself, fond and intriguing, is by no means a hard-charging confrontation…

Review of The Judge (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 Oct 2014

Of the 141 minutes in The Judge, roughly 70 work well, hold the screen and allow a ripe ensemble cast the chance to do its thing, i.e., act…

Review of Pride (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 Oct 2014

Parts of Pride are shamelessly escapist, as when party-mad Jonathan (Dominic West) busts loose with a disco routine, surely the most outre…

Review of Farewell (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Oct 2014

This complicated but absorbing tale is not told through primarily American eyes ( Willem Dafoe plays a CIA…

Review of Left Behind (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Oct 2014

Cage is going for manly, if conflicted, family-guy confidence in this role, but somehow it comes off as nuttier than the events surrounding him…

Review of Annabelle (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Oct 2014

Each time a character gets tossed in the air by some manifestation or another, the effect is cheesy. Still, I've seen worse…

Review of Last Days in Vietnam (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Oct 2014

We need films such as Kennedy's as a corrective…

Review of Men, Women & Children (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Oct 2014

All of it is plausible, if one were to break the narrative into its component parts; together, though, those parts resemble Babel or Crash…

Review of Gone Girl (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 Sep 2014

David Fincher's film version of the Gillian Flynn bestseller Gone Girl is a stealthy, snake-like achievement…

Review of Redbelt (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 Sep 2014

Not everyone can act his material with ease. But Ejiofor, who brings a serene gravity to every exchange, was born to do Mamet…

Review of Tracks (2013)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Sep 2014
