Review of Celeste & Jesse Forever (2012)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

Review of The Future (2013)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

Miranda July is a divisive force and a rare, vital talent…

Review of Hysteria (2011)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

The movie, directed by Tanya Wexler, is a pretty conventional British run at something fun, like when Stephen Frears does a funny one…

Review of 2 Guns (2013)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

It doesn't work at all but it also works completely, you know? Perfect for a dumb August afternoon…

Review of The Way Way Back (2013)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

The Way Way Back has a terrific cast... but for whatever reason just never gels…

Review of Beautiful Boy (2011)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

The best scenes take place in a motel room, mostly hand-held, and Bello absolutely goes for it, and it's admirable that they hold themselves…

Review of The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

It is a masterclass of acting, directing, writing and cinematography, of tonality, of pacing and of emotion…

Review of Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

The movie is a mess, but a glorious, big-hearted, beautifully acted one…

Review of Somewhere (2010)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

More tone poem than film, Somewhere finds Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation) at her most untethered and experimental…

Review of Elysium (2013)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

Smart late summer action film? Try the next apocalypse…

Review of Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory (2012)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

Metallica aside - Berlinger also directed Some Kind of Monster - Purgatory is beautifully framed, critical but not judgmental of the law enforcement…

Review of You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

Allen has forgotten how to write like people talk, and the muted yellows of upper-class London are as boring as the script, which contains…

Review of Tamara Drewe (2010)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

It's fun but overlong, not a waste of regular time, but probably of festival time…

Review of Peace, Love & Misunderstanding (2011)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

This pleasant enough straight-to-DVD comedy stars Catherine Keener as an uptight lawyer who takes her kids (one is Elizabeth Olsen) to her…

Review of Frances Ha (2013)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

Shot in black and white, that and Gerwig's completely endearing, awkward and naturalistic acting style make it feel a bit My First Film, which…

Review of Public Speaking (2011)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

Nonetheless, this is high-brow entertainment of the wittiest order---a little cold, but so what…

Review of Mother and Child (2009)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

Review of Waiting for "Superman" (2010)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

Guggenheim's heartbreaking film, a Best Documentary contender that did not even get nominated---he won for An Inconvenient Truth---opens with…

Review of We're the Millers (2013)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

It's consistently LOL hilarious all the way through, and after this dreadfully straight-faced season, it's nice to finally crack a smile…

Review of Childstar (2004)

By Tara Thorne (211) for The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) (715) on 16 Nov 2018

Mike Goldbach wrote Childstar in 2004; this is his first feature as writer-director, and it's nimble and full of visual tricks, funny and sexy,…
