Review of The Goldfinch (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 08 Sep 2019

I wish all of Tartt’s tender and moving allegory—the way she pours the density of growth and regret into a solid thing that can pass hands—had…

Review of Just Mercy (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 08 Sep 2019

It’s a rousing and moving enough film that one is compelled to excuse the limits of its artistry…

Review of The King (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 03 Sep 2019

Without the Shakespearean language, this is just an ahistorical story about a king and a battle…

Review of The Laundromat (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 01 Sep 2019

The movie goes all over the place, attempting to map the world of this thing but really just chasing its idea into abstraction…

Review of Joker (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 31 Aug 2019

The movie is, for a good stretch, a troubling and arresting character study, one done with nervy conviction…

Review of Ad Astra (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 29 Aug 2019

While visually and aurally stunning, James Gray’s latest film doesn’t explore anything new…

Review of Marriage Story (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 29 Aug 2019

For all its strife and sorrow, Marriage Story is a generous film…

Review of The Kitchen (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 07 Aug 2019

It’s a mess of a movie, choppy and incoherent, a mishmash of tone that veers wildly from comedy to bloody drama, a gangster epic with no…

Review of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 31 Jul 2019

Though some zesty flair has been added—particularly a new heroine—this hyper-aggro spin-off of a beloved franchise over does it while…

Review of The Farewell (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 20 Jul 2019

Its universality, if you want to call it that, can only be so headily conjured because The Farewell is about exactly what it’s about: this…

Review of Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 27 Jun 2019

If yet another Marvel movie is a little self-conscious about being yet another Marvel movie, does that excuse it from being, well, yet another…

Review of Midsommar (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 19 Jun 2019

Midsommar is a shocking piece of filmmaking—unnervingly competent even when the film yaws into silliness, even when it risks tedium…

Review of Murder Mystery (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 14 Jun 2019

The movie proves a cheery enough diversion, during a summer movie season leaden with underwhelming blockbuster offerings…

Review of Toy Story 4 (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 13 Jun 2019

Toy Story 4 not only delivers plenty of gonzo-funny moments and genuine thrills, but also interrogates and complicates the series’s core themes…

Review of Men in Black: International (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 13 Jun 2019

Sure, it provides some summer work for talented people—director F…

Review of Dark Phoenix (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 03 Jun 2019

The movie feels too late and too little, a minor work that’s perhaps too streamlined to be really messy, but nonetheless has an air of shambling…

Review of Rocketman (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 23 May 2019

Egerton tears into the material with an intensity that elevates Rocketman’s standard-issue tortured-artist drama…

Review of Parasite (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 23 May 2019

There’s an anger at work in the film, but what’s more effective is its ruefulness—its ribbons of abiding hope, frayed and tattered but…

Review of The Dead Don't Die (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 23 May 2019

By its muddled and probably intentionally frustrating conclusion, I’d lost the thread of Jarmusch’s argument (or arguments)…

Review of Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 23 May 2019
