Review of Revolutionary Road (2008)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 24 Jun 2013

A sad experience, but the sadness has no emotional heft because its people have none. This movie hasn't earned its funk…

Review of Femme Fatale (2002)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 21 Jun 2013

It's a pure (guilty) pleasure trip. That's pleasure, De Palma–style -- twisted, dirty, voyeuristic, a vast glissando of amorality…

Review of World War Z (2013)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 20 Jun 2013

Director Marc Forster is very good at amping up the terror, but after a while, we reach zombie overload and we might as well be watching an…

Review of A Hijacking (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 20 Jun 2013

His (Lindholm) steadfast, unvarying gaze has its own authenticity. He’s made a thriller that thrills while also respecting our intelligence…

Review of Monsters University (2013)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 20 Jun 2013

Keep your ears tuned for Helen Mirren as the imperious Dean Hardscrabble. Hogwarts would have loved her…

Review of Up in the Air (2009)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 20 Jun 2013

This is a movie about, among other things, pain, and it's made by someone who understands its expression…

Review of Away We Go (2009)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 18 Jun 2013

The film's one extraordinary aspect, which makes it well worth seeing despite its carefully coiffed shagginess, is Maya Rudolph's performance…

Review of Murderous Maids (2000)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 16 Jun 2013

Sylvie Testud gives such a ferociously controlled performance that the messy murder seems like a necessary release…

Review of Cold Mountain (2003)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 16 Jun 2013

Cold Mountain has some marvelous, intimate moments and a real feeling, at times, for the loss that war engenders, but it also has more than…

Review of Irreversible (2002)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 16 Jun 2013

Noé shoots his sequences in long, unbroken takes, and the unblinking horror that results is, I think, the opposite of exploitation…

Review of The Bling Ring (2013)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 13 Jun 2013

This is a movie that cries out for more than the too-cool-for-school Coppola’s trademark hipster anomie…

Review of 20 Feet from Stardom (2013)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 13 Jun 2013

I have rarely seen a movie that better expressed the revivifying nature of music…

Review of Man of Steel (2013)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 12 Jun 2013

Taking a cue from the “Batman” series, the film is dark and thudding and overlong…

Review of Going the Distance (2010)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 12 Jun 2013

Once around the block with these folks is more than enough…

Review of The Express (2008)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 10 Jun 2013

The Express may prove valuable to movie historians since it's a compendium of virtually every sports movie cliché ever contrived…

Review of Winter's Bone (2010)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 10 Jun 2013

Granik filmed in actual locations and enlisted many locals as actors. They blend unobtrusively with the professionals in the cast…

Review of The Shape of Things (2003)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 08 Jun 2013

LaBute is attacking our society’s obsession with the surface of things, whether it be a painter’s canvas or a human one, but his…

Review of Jonah Hex (2010)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 07 Jun 2013

Actually, it's hard to have any thoughts while watching Jonah Hex – the cranium-crushing soundtrack takes care of that…

Review of The Internship (2013)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 06 Jun 2013

Google, the corporate entity, is so lovingly portrayed that the film itself resembles nothing so much as a massive product tie-in…

Review of Much Ado About Nothing (1993)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 06 Jun 2013

I enjoyed Whedon’s film both as a species of stunt and also as a legitimately entertaining entry in the voluminous Shakespeare adaptation…
