Review of Her (2013)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of The Imitation Game (1980)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of Wild (2014)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Review of The Stanford Prison Experiment (2015)

Review of The Theory of Everything (2014)

By Molly Templeton (111) for Eugene Weekly (OR) (121) on 27 Aug 2018

Redmayne and Jones are fantastic, and it's wonderful to see a biopic that includes the woman next to the famous man, but there's no there to…
