Review of This Is 40 (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 21 Dec 2012

The performers are so likable that you stay with them even when, as is often the case, the material is hit-or-miss…

Review of Amour (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 21 Dec 2012

Because of its subject matter, and because of the actors, it's impossible to watch this film without being moved. But a martinet is running the show…

Review of On The Road (2010)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 21 Dec 2012

It's all rather exhausting, as opposed to exhilarating…

Review of The Last Station (2009)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 16 Dec 2012

The Last Station isn’t all that it should be, but whenever these two actors are onscreen, it’s like a great night at the theater…

Review of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 14 Dec 2012

My first thought in watching The Hobbit was: Do we really need this movie? It was my last thought, too…

Review of Zero Dark Thirty (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 14 Dec 2012

By showing scenes of torture without taking any kind of moral (as opposed to tactical) stand on what we are seeing, Bigelow has made an amoral…

Review of Inland Empire (2006)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 08 Dec 2012

Over time, though, with films such as Lost Highway and, to a lesser extent, Mulholland Drive, Lynch's movies became less personal and more…

Review of Proof (2005)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 07 Dec 2012

But at its highest level of ambition, Proof fails to deliver…

Review of Hyde Park on Hudson (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 07 Dec 2012

It's never altogether clear why this visually blah and dramatically bland movie needed to be made at all (or why it wasn't made for television…

Review of Rust and Bone (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 07 Dec 2012

Rust and Bone is made by filmmakers and actors who are capable of much more – and they know it…

Review of Killing Them Softly (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 30 Nov 2012

The dialogue is sharp and so are the performances…

Review of The Central Park Five (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 30 Nov 2012

What we do see, among much else that is damning, are archival NYPD videotapes of the boys being interrogated by detectives who press them to…

Review of Venus (2006)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 28 Nov 2012

The screenplay is by Hanif Kureishi, who wrote The Mother for Michell and also scripted the classic My Beautiful Laundrette…

Review of Hitchcock (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 23 Nov 2012

Hopkins has been fitted out prosthetically to resemble Hitchcock and he does a reasonably good job of impersonating him, but it's a foredoomed effort…

Review of Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 21 Nov 2012

It's slick stuff, but Lawrence, in her most high-low, sad-comic turn yet, is remarkable…

Review of Rise of the Guardians (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 21 Nov 2012

Too much of this movie, directed by Peter Ramsey, is more clamorous than inspired, and little kids might find parts of it too scarily intense…

Review of Life of Pi (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 21 Nov 2012

Lee may, in the end, be too balanced a filmmaker to give Life of Pi the extra spin of lyric delirium it sorely needs…

Review of Holy Motors (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 18 Nov 2012

This is the kind of it-can-mean-whatever-you-want-it-to-mean art film that I usually run from, but Carax is such a prodigiously gifted mesmerist…

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 16 Nov 2012

One of the many, many things wrong with Joe Wright's Anna Karenina, starring Keira Knightley as literature's most famous adulteress – take…

Review of Interview (2007)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 13 Nov 2012

The back-and-forth between the performers is tensely choreographed, and Buscemi does a good job opening up the action, which mostly takes place…
