Review of The Pretty One (2014)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 04 Feb 2014

All in all, The Pretty One is too lightweight to justify such a disturbing act of reinvention…

Review of 24 Exposures (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 03 Feb 2014

24 Exposures is a transparent auto-critique (or self-justification, depending on how you look at it) in the form of a rather vague thriller,…

Review of Freezer (2014)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 30 Jan 2014

For all the scary refrigeration on view, this is a concept that’s long since gone stale…

Review of Brightest Star (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Jan 2014

So terminally bland is Brightest Star’s protagonist (played by Chris Lowell) that screenwriters Maggie Kiley (who also directed) and Matthew…

Review of Run & Jump (2014)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 23 Jan 2014

Whether it’s possible to go on loving somebody who’s no longer himself is a momentous question that this movie largely ducks, ultimately…

Review of Gloria (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for AV Club (2,778) on 23 Jan 2014

Movies about middle-aged women are so rare that it’s tempting to praise them on that basis alone…

Review of Gloria (1980)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 22 Jan 2014

Movies about middle-aged women are so rare that it’s tempting to praise them on that basis alone…

Review of Gloria (2014)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 22 Jan 2014

Movies about middle-aged women are so rare that it’s tempting to praise them on that basis alone…

Review of Devil's Due (2014)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 17 Jan 2014

While it’s generally above-average for this sorry genre, it’s so derivative, in both style and narrative, that there’s still an overwhelming…

Review of Jamesy Boy (2014)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 14 Jan 2014

Jamesy Boy has its heart in the right place, and first-time director Trevor White shows some skill with actors, but the film lacks a compelling…

Review of Cold Comes the Night (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 10 Jan 2014

As Walter White, Cranston proved he possesses more menacing charisma than anyone would have previously imagined, but that doesn’t mean he…

Review of In Bloom (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for AV Club (2,778) on 09 Jan 2014

Keenly observed, geographically specific portraits of adolescence are always welcome, but there’s definitely something to be said for charging…

Review of The Best Offer (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 08 Jan 2014

Rush has a lot of fun with Oldman’s gradual thaw, and the questions the movie raises about authenticity and deception, while not remotely…

Review of Open Grave (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 02 Jan 2014

The real problem with Open Grave is that screenwriters Eddie and Chris Borey have no game plan for getting from their mysterious premise to…

Review of The Invisible Woman (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 24 Dec 2013

Handsome and intelligent, it’s nonetheless a tepid portrait of a relationship that would be unremarkable were the gentleman not Dickens…

Review of Wrong Cops (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 19 Dec 2013

Dupieux might have done better to construct an entire movie around his best idea…

Review of The Past (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 18 Dec 2013

The result demonstrates that Farhadi, who is cinema’s heir to the likes of Henrik Ibsen and Anton Chekhov, is so deft at ingenious narrative…

Review of The Selfish Giant (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 18 Dec 2013

That The Selfish Giant feels familiar rather than groundbreaking makes it seem to some degree a step back for its talented director, but she’s…

Review of The Unknown Known (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for AV Club (2,778) on 12 Dec 2013

Tackling another secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, in The Unknown Known, Morris has finally met his match…

Review of Some Velvet Morning (2013)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 11 Dec 2013
