Review of Sundown (2022)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 27 Jan 2022

In one sense, Sundown is a bleak window into the corrosive effect wealth and privilege have on relationships and the psyche, and even with…

Review of Call Jane (2022)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 24 Jan 2022

At its richest and most riveting, when it’s seizing your breath or making you laugh or opening your eyes, Call Jane is about what it takes…

Review of Munich - The Edge of War (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 20 Jan 2022

It wants to be a high-toned nail-biter, an important history lesson and a roiling friendship drama…

Review of Marx Can Wait (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 29 Dec 2021

Even at its most emotionally awkward or loose, it signals a filmmaking sensibility where Bellocchio — whose nearly 60-year career has been…

Review of Jockey (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 29 Dec 2021

It’s disappointing that the story machinations get in the way, because the lived-in heft of Collins’ turn is better suited to the atmospheric…

Review of Revolution of Our Times (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 22 Dec 2021

With specificity, sweep and urgency, occasionally terrifying and bloody when capturing violent police tactics, Chow’s movie is a true epic…

Review of Beijing Spring (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 22 Dec 2021

Though modestly assembled, Beijing Spring benefits from its historical richness as a portrait of artistic dissent…

Review of The Velvet Queen (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 21 Dec 2021

Gorgeous, humbling, looking out-, up- and inward, the documentary The Velvet Queen is the rare nature film about not only beauty and beasts…

Review of The Tender Bar (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 16 Dec 2021

It’s surprising that this effort from Clooney is as flavorless and unrooted as it is, because his better directorial turns are the ones grounded…

Review of Being the Ricardos (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 07 Dec 2021

A Wikipedia entry fed into what can only be called The Sorkinator, but missing the wit module, Being the Ricardos is cultural-television-marital…

Review of Try Harder! (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 02 Dec 2021

As snapshots go of bright kids facing the next step, Try Harder…

Review of The Hand of God (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 01 Dec 2021

The first hour’s parade of oddballs and exaggerated vignettes under the bright Neapolitan pop of Daria D’Antonio’s cinematography can…

Review of Procession (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 19 Nov 2021

Observational documentaries are by nature intrusive, but Procession, miraculously, never feels that way — you sense humane engagement, not…

Review of Boiling Point (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 18 Nov 2021

Graham, Robinson, and Barantini’s thematic concerns about how restaurants work are strong enough ingredients…

Review of Compartment No. 6 (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 18 Nov 2021

In stripping genre ornamentation away to get to what brings people together in stark, lonely, and in this case, mighty cold circumstances,…

Review of Prayers for the Stolen (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 16 Nov 2021

The result is a film made of loosely connected scenes, the best ones floating between observation and storytelling, not unlike a dream…

Review of Julia (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 11 Nov 2021

As breezy primers go in a life that’s as full as it gets, this collection of the archival and the anecdotal, with the occasional preparing…

Review of Gaza Mon Amour (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 11 Nov 2021

Low-key and likable, the Nassers’ Gaza Mon Amour is a movie with no use for sentimentality but in which the timing of a simple kindness,…

Review of Paper & Glue (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 11 Nov 2021

In its swirl of ingenuity, purity, and achievement, Paper & Glue can’t help but feel self-serving for its traveling, ever-creative dynamo,…

Review of Hive (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 11 Nov 2021

Hive is occasionally bumpy, but it’s the rough terrain of a raw narrative — the out-of-place music cue or awkward dream snippet doesn’t…
