Cahill is one of the most talented filmmakers to emerge in the last decade…

Review of Lucy (2014)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 24 Jul 2014

When it comes to sheer comic-book fun, few summer movies deliver a more consistent, satisfying, thoroughly enjoyable shot of cinematic jouissance…

Review of Violette (2013)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 17 Jul 2014

It's a perfect approach to Leduc, whose work is so grounded in the messy, fleshy realities of life, it scandalized critics with its frank treatment…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 17 Jul 2014

Isn't a cheap knock-off but an equally effective, deliciously disturbing movie…

Review of Deliver Us from Evil (2014)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 01 Jul 2014

Like other entries of its pulpish ilk, the picture packs lots of violence, a fair bit of gore, and plenty of cheap scares…

Review of Snowpiercer (2013)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 01 Jul 2014

Swinton is delightful in a twisted turn as Wilford's enforcer, a Margaret Thatcherian dragon lady who adores watching her men torture miscreants…

Review of The Rover (2014)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 19 Jun 2014

An evocative, moody road movie through the Australian Outback that's as sparse and dry as the desolate landscape it traverses, its deliberate…

Review of How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 12 Jun 2014

One of this year's true surprises, the superior animated sequel not only is infused with the same independent spirit and off-kilter aesthetic…

Review of Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia (2013)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 05 Jun 2014

Remarkably enjoyable, even joyous, the film chronicles Vidal's life from his privileged beginnings, his years at some of the country's most…

Review of The Dance of Reality (2013)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 29 May 2014

Review of Cold in July (2014)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 29 May 2014

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 15 May 2014

Review of God's Pocket (2014)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 15 May 2014

A messy, shallow, muddled morass of a Philadelphia crime story set in 1978…

Review of Devil's Knot (2013)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 08 May 2014

The writer-director has the talent to dig deep and lay bare the assumptions behind our idea of justice and our notions of right and wrong…

Review of Brick Mansions (2014)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 24 Apr 2014

A tediously faithful remake of French filmmaker Luc Besson's terrific 2004 international hit District 13, the Besson-produced Brick Mansions…

Review of 13 Sins (2014)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 17 Apr 2014

Review of Jodorowsky's Dune (2013)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 17 Apr 2014

Review of Oculus (2014)

By Tirdad Derakhshani (358) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 10 Apr 2014
