Review of Mona Lisa (1986)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 05 Jul 2011

The bracing peaks of image, acting, and narrative architecture handily win the day over a scenario that always feels more like a willfully…

Review of Fool for Love (1985)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 30 Jun 2011

The basic friction between Altman's lightness and Shepard's portentousness serves the movie in rich and ever-expanding ways, and not just because…

Review of Scream of the Ants (2006)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 03 Apr 2011

This side of Makhmalbaf is exhilarating at its best but still feels essential at its petulant and shapeless worst…

Review of Lourdes (2009)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 04 Mar 2011

The withholding of judgment persists across Lourdes, which is comic, haunting, sweet, pious, unsettling, agnostic, and wholly deadpan at various…

Review of Black Swan (2010)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 12 Oct 2010

Why tell this story in such elaborate terms…

Review of Valhalla Rising (2010)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 03 Sep 2010

I appreciate Refn for pushing against conventions of rhythm, photography, subject, color, and form, and I don't mind that Valhalla Rising lacks…

Review of Animal Kingdom (2010)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 18 Aug 2010

Almost every scene in Animal Kingdom includes some shot, some edit or avoidance of edit, some lighting effect, some performance gesture, or…

Review of Greenberg (2010)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 14 Aug 2010

Greenberg is inevitably, productively divisive in tone and topical focus-and this in itself strikes me as a good thing-but you cannot say the…

Review of Cropsey (2010)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 28 Jul 2010

The conceptual, even poetic inquiry that percolates in the opening scenes gives way to flat-footed and unresolvable detective work that makes…

Review of Cremaster 4 (1995)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 18 May 2010

Barney's outlandish mise-en-scène, forever emphasizing the organic, the amorphous, the massive, the adhesive, and the fluorescent in quite…

Review of Cremaster 5 (1997)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 18 May 2010

Barney's outlandish mise-en-scène, forever emphasizing the organic, the amorphous, the massive, the adhesive, and the fluorescent in quite…

Review of Cremaster 1 (1996)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 18 May 2010

Barney's outlandish mise-en-scène, forever emphasizing the organic, the amorphous, the massive, the adhesive, and the fluorescent in quite…

Review of Cremaster 2 (1999)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 18 May 2010

Barney's outlandish mise-en-scène, forever emphasizing the organic, the amorphous, the massive, the adhesive, and the fluorescent in quite…

Review of Shutter Island (2010)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 22 Feb 2010

Sadly, a horrible case of reverse-proportion mandates that the actors with the largest parts give the weakest performances, including yet another…

Review of XXY (2007)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 10 Feb 2010

Even when the film overdoses on its own downcastness or on dubious similes and symbolisms, you can feel why the characters as well as the filmmakers…

Review of The Curse of the Cat People (1944)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 25 Jan 2010

One of those movies that coheres more interestingly because of its own odd heterogeneities, largely because the brio and friskiness of the…

Review of Mrs. Parkington (1944)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 08 Jan 2010

Proof that the Academy has always a reserved a certain quota of its major nominations for films for which I doubt even their makers wished…

Review of The Hairy Ape (1944)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 03 Jan 2010

One of those films that profits in some tiny but intriguing way from being such a bastardization of the source material…

Review of Sherlock Holmes (2009)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 01 Jan 2010

One of the sourest experiences of my movie year, not a mindless sequel, but...the needless dumbing-down, almost gleeful sacralizing, and generic…

Review of Sherlock Holmes (2011)

By Nick Davis (360) for Nick's Flick Picks (358) on 01 Jan 2010

One of the sourest experiences of my movie year, not a mindless sequel, but...the needless dumbing-down, almost gleeful sacralizing, and generic…
