Review of The Power of the Dog (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 02 Sep 2021

While the core narrative is plenty compelling in all its creeping dread and curiosity, The Power of the Dog is not too concerned with being…

Review of Candyman (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 25 Aug 2021

The film is so busy working through what it’s trying to say that it loses its specific pacing and texture, tumbling toward a finale that…

Review of Reminiscence (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 18 Aug 2021

The film doesn’t do much to distinguish itself, or to retain audience interest…

Review of Beckett (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 17 Aug 2021

Beckett moves through the film not as an invincible badass, but as a man who is tired and in a great deal of pain…

Review of Free Guy (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 11 Aug 2021

Free Guy has moments of dizzying action and offers up some intriguing sci-fi speculation, but it is decidedly not a cool movie…

Review of Annette (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 06 Aug 2021

It’s a lot of nervy construction built around very little substance…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 05 Aug 2021

The Suicide Squad walks about as far up to the line of the indecent as is perhaps possible for a film of this size right now, which makes portions…

Review of Jungle Cruise (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 29 Jul 2021

Jungle Cruise is a two-hour movie that has far less consequence than a ride that’s a small fraction of that length…

Review of The Green Knight (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 29 Jul 2021

It’s an elusive film, in its plotting and allusions, but is still potent and immediate, as resonant as any of our own late-night quests toward…

Review of Red Rocket (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 14 Jul 2021

The film is best viewed as a tricky character study, one about the undulations and relentless demands of self-worth—and, of course, of money,…

Review of The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 13 Jul 2021

The film—structured as an issue of a New Yorker-esque magazine—is fussy and ornately detailed and difficult to grasp…

Review of Benedetta (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 13 Jul 2021

Benedetta is full of surprising tones shrewdly introduced by Verhoeven, who keeps us leaning forward to suss out just what his film is trying…

Review of Stillwater (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 09 Jul 2021

From one vantage point, Stillwater may just be a sentimental and lurid riff on the infamous Amanda Knox case…

Review of Black Widow (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 29 Jun 2021

Black Widow is a prequel of sorts, and an origin story, a robust and satisfying glimpse into a defining interlude in Black Widow’s life that…

Review of F9 (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 23 Jun 2021

F9’s attempts at classical drama, all its reckoning with dynastic sin, do weigh the thing down quite a bit…

Review of Luca (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 16 Jun 2021

Luca does, despite its vagueness, successfully pull off some of the usual Pixar tricks, provoking warm tears and weary sighs as one considers…

Review of A Quiet Place Part II (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 27 May 2021

The film’s self-seriousness bogs down what should be a mad and skittering thing, jangling us with all its agonizing silence…

Review of Cruella (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 26 May 2021

Cruella is yet another act of co-opting by the biggest entertainment company in the world, an attempt to graft a cheap rebel spirit onto a…

Review of Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 25 May 2021

Those Who Wish Me Dead is missing an act, maybe, some of kind bridge between its drawn-out beginning and its hurried climax…

Review of In the Heights (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 21 May 2021

Basking in the film’s ceaseless swirl is as intoxicating a moviegoing experience as one could want these days, a burst of communal joy (and…
