Review of The Dance of Reality (2013)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 21 May 2014

Review of Cold in July (2014)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 21 May 2014

Review of The Immigrant (2013)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 14 May 2014

The visual and thematic palette immediately brings to mind Michael Cimino’s once-maligned Heaven’s Gate — except that The Immigrant accomplishes…

Review of Million Dollar Arm (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 14 May 2014

Million Dollar Arm is the kind of sports movie that crams everything subject-specific into quick-cut montages to make room for maudlin drama…

Review of A Night in Old Mexico (2013)

By David Ehrlich (1,229) for AV Club (2,778) on 14 May 2014

Here’s a film that knowingly and transparently exists for little reason other than to let the 83-year-old actor bow out in a blaze of glory…

Review of Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case (2013)

By David Ehrlich (1,229) for AV Club (2,778) on 14 May 2014

Review of Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return (2014)

By Kevin Mcfarland (13) for AV Club (2,778) on 13 May 2014

Review of Belle (2013)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 07 May 2014

This effectively turns a story about race into a story about rank…

Review of Fed Up (2014)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for AV Club (2,778) on 07 May 2014

Like most mediocre documentaries these days, Fed Up alternates between regurgitated facts (often presented in snazzy animated interludes),…

Review of Devil's Knot (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for AV Club (2,778) on 07 May 2014

Devil’s Knot is an inert exercise, visually and dramatically on par with Drew Peterson: Untouchable…

Review of Neighbors (2014)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 07 May 2014

Review of NOW: In the Wings on a World Stage (2014)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for AV Club (2,778) on 30 Apr 2014

It’s a thoroughly upbeat paean to the magic (and the hard work) of theater, with not so much of a hint of discord—of mild interest to aficionados…

Review of Decoding Annie Parker (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 30 Apr 2014

As hackneyed as the movie’s portrayal of Parker’s life might be, it seems subtly shaded in comparison to the King narrative, which mostly…

Review of Beneath the Harvest Sky (2013)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 30 Apr 2014

Like Winter’s Bone and Frozen River, the movie attempts to re-mystify a handful of old tropes—the tragic snitch, crime as a family business—by…

Review of The Other Woman (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 23 Apr 2014

Somewhere around the 60-minute mark, director Nick Cassavetes — whose career makes one wish that John Cassavetes had been a better father…

Review of Brick Mansions (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 23 Apr 2014

Review of The German Doctor (2013)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 23 Apr 2014

Review of A Haunted House 2 (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for AV Club (2,778) on 17 Apr 2014
