Review of The Desperate Hour (2022)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 14 Sep 2021

A crisis scenario striving for issue-driven importance that should have paid more attention to its dull suspense mechanics, slapdash style,…

Review of The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 12 Sep 2021

That blend of tones is not always smoothly handled, but there’s enough heart in its express train of ambition, flaws and fallout to allow…

Review of Fauci (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 09 Sep 2021

Where the filmmakers’ approach sets itself apart in these days of image-massaged biographies is in juxtaposing the bookending health catastrophes…

Review of Worth (2021)

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

What we’re left with is, thankfully, sharp exchanges about loss and conscience, a director’s sincere approach to potentially melodramatic…

Review of No Man of God (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 27 Aug 2021

No Man of God may have been written by a man, but you can’t help feeling the reason this umpteenth examination of a modern devil works as…

Review of Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 25 Aug 2021

Part biopic, part mystery, part exposé, Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed is ultimately a cooled celebration, one eager to acknowledge…

Review of Together (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 24 Aug 2021

In all too many ways, it’s a predictable, tiring wade as both a domestic tale and a pandemic yarn…

Review of Flag Day (2021)

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

As it stretches out, it also thins, its Malick-meets-Cassavetes ambitions never rising above clichés of technique and melodrama…

Review of Ailey (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 06 Aug 2021

It’s also worth remembering that someone as complex as Alvin Ailey isn’t going to be captured in any one film…

Review of Enemies of the State (2021)

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

Kennebeck’s handling of the labyrinthine narrative is commendable, particularly since the realigning she needs to do in the final act requires…

Review of Val (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 23 Jul 2021

That dance of performance and being — mindsets committed artists don’t always manage smoothly — is what makes Val an appealing, at times…

Review of Val (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 23 Jul 2021

That dance of performance and being — mindsets committed artists don’t always manage smoothly — is what makes Val an appealing, at times…

Review of The Witches of the Orient (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 15 Jul 2021

Fusing exquisitely shot color 16mm footage from 1964 of the team’s training sessions, drone-like music and splices of animation, we get a…

Review of Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 14 Jul 2021

It’s more of an action gallery, not a blood-pumping story accelerated by its flights of fury…

Review of Swimming Out Till the Sea Turns Blue (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for TheWrap (3,203) on 25 May 2021

If Swimming Out Till the Sea Turns Blue and its intimate tapestry of peasant fortitude and artistic endeavor won’t be as immediately resonant…

Review of 8 Billion Angels (2021)

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

It’s off-putting the way Velle bombards us with statistics and warnings and ominous music before settling in to his (mostly white) brain…

Review of The Man Who Sold His Skin (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 08 Apr 2021

Between the forced artistry and the confused tones, it leaves this well-intentioned tale of transgressive imagination and transactional humanity…

Review of TINA (2021)

By Robert Abele (1,309) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 26 Mar 2021

Part tribute, part reconciliation, Tina makes a beautiful case for why survival sometimes means saying goodbye…

Review of Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal (2021)

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

The best nuggets come from the interviews, as when a lawyer remarks that when it comes to white-collar criminals, they historically have no…

Review of Erēmīta (Anthologies) (2021)

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

As far as shutdown-inspired projects go, Erēmīta (Anthologies) has a certain felicitous intimacy, proof that when called to action, artists…
