Review of Life Itself (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 19 Sep 2018

If all you need from a love story are two people smiling at each other and a narrator saying they’re in love, then Life Itself is for you…

Review of I Think We're Alone Now (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 13 Sep 2018

With the indie two-hander I Think We’re Alone Now, starring Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning, this talented director is stuck in neutral with…

Review of Reversing Roe (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 12 Sep 2018

The takeaway of Reversing Roe is that Stern and Sundberg are issuing a warning, one backed by a grim timeline, forcefully presented, that makes…

Review of A Simple Favor (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 10 Sep 2018

Unlike “Spy,” which took great pains to make its cloak-and-dagger shenanigans as exciting, and thematically meaningful, as the raucous…

Review of Inventing Tomorrow (2019)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 05 Sep 2018

By the end, as you dry your eyes, it’s their futures you want them to win — as scientists, optimists and change agents — not just a science…

Review of Kusama: Infinity (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 04 Sep 2018

Mostly, Lenz is committed to showing as much of Kusama’s considerable output as possible, often lovingly panned over with an admiring camera…

Review of Hal (2019)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 04 Sep 2018

If there's still the sense that Ashby isn't as sanctified as American New Wave stalwarts Coppola or Scorsese, Amy Scott's breezy tribute of…

Review of Halloween II (2009)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 03 Sep 2018

What you won't feel is genuine horror, because unlike John Carpenter -- whose original 1978 film is a sly game of nerve-racking peekaboo --…

Review of They'll Love Me When I'm Dead (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 30 Aug 2018

The prime takeaway is of an irascibly charming, wounded and forceful genius both having the time of his life and sensing the gathering dusk…

Review of The Other Side of the Wind (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 30 Aug 2018

In its barbs and visuals, indie vibe and old-school ambition, inside jabs and outsider artistry, it feels both of its time — when Welles’…

Review of Active Measures (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 29 Aug 2018

Jack Bryan’s thorough, chilling rabbit-hole inquiry into our president’s connections to Russia — Active Measures — is as good a place…

Review of The Laws of Thermodynamics (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 29 Aug 2018

Though sleekly photogenic in its depiction of cosmopolitan Europeans in permanent romantic neurosis, The Laws of Thermodynamics is better in…

Review of Peppermint Soda (1977)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 29 Aug 2018

Kurys, at the time a disillusioned actress-writer who reportedly had never held any kind of camera before, showed a remarkable assurance visually…

Review of Papillon (2017)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 22 Aug 2018

This Papillon just lopes from place to place, and indignity to indignity, without any special style or verve…

Review of Mile 22 (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 15 Aug 2018

Peter Berg’s Mile 22 is an angry, hyperviolent downer of an action flick that is the August blowout-sale of its ilk: loud and desperate…

Review of Minding the Gap (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 15 Aug 2018

Minding the Gap, which is brilliantly edited by Liu and Joshua Altman, has a floating, grab-bag style that collapses the time frame into a…

Review of Cocote (2017)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 15 Aug 2018

Just when Alberto's situation begins to feel palpably fraught, the filmmaker's aesthetics pull you away when they should deepen the crisis…

Review of The Captain (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 09 Aug 2018

Schwentke’s grim history lesson carries an undeniable propulsiveness. But it’s ultimately too ugly a story to be truly resonant…

Review of Elizabeth Harvest (2018)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 08 Aug 2018

Gutierrez is ultimately too enamored of his quasi-feminist, visually convulsive upending of damsel myths to let his actors enjoy themselves…
