Review of Respect (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 Aug 2021

Respect runs into trouble when its own respect toward Aretha Franklin, the woman who gave us the voice of a century, settles for garden-variety…

Review of Nine Days (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Aug 2021

The movie proceeds in quiet, reflective tones, subtly energized by a fully realized visual environment and a clever variety of editing rhythms…

Review of Annette (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Aug 2021

Yes, the Frenchman Carax’s first film in English isn’t life-affirming so much as it is art-affirming…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Aug 2021

This one’s good! Also supergory, merrily heartless in its body count and its methods of slaughter. And funny…

Review of Jungle Cruise (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Jul 2021

Blunt’s derring-do has its stray moments, and her comic wiles are most welcome…

Review of Flowers of Shanghai (1998)

By Michael Wilmington (1,474) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 Jul 2021

Flowers Of Shanghai is concerned with the commodification of sex and its hurtful consequences, but Hou leaves the perversion and beatings off-screen…

Review of Stillwater (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 Jul 2021

Stillwater feels like a movie filmed in a slightly blurry state of mind, then reshaped in the editing stage into a whole new blur…

Review of The Green Knight (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Jul 2021

Lowery creates a spiritual cousin to Shakespeare’s Prince Hal, torn between taverns and common folk and his highborn destiny…

Review of Joe Bell (2020)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Jul 2021

There’s a good movie in the story of Joe Bell and Jadin Bell. The good one struggles to emerge from the good try we have here…

Review of Old (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Jul 2021

Is the central hook in “Old” enough? For many, I suspect, the answer will be not quite…

Review of Summertime (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Jul 2021

Director Carlos López Estrada’s Summertime creates a mosaic of pre-COVID Los Angeles (it was filmed in 2019) through words, action, dance…

Review of Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Jul 2021

On the whole, I’d go with the 2018 basketball comedy “Uncle Drew” over either “Jams.” One-joke movies, all three…

Review of Black Widow (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 Jul 2021

On the whole I’d rather watch a few more episodes of “Loki.” But Black Widow is pretty good Marvel, with an excellent cast, the usual…

Review of Untamed Heart (1993)

By Gene Siskel (446) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Jul 2021

The movie is kind of sweet and kind of goofy, and works because its heart is in the right place…

Review of F9 (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 Jun 2021

While I wish the story and the banter had some snap (Groot had better dialogue, speaking of Vin Diesel movies), and while I wish the electromagnet-derived…

Review of Luca (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 18 Jun 2021

There is, however, just enough atmospheric detail and, in the final lap, enough genuine feeling in the thorny friendships to make it worth seeing…

Review of Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021)

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Jun 2021

Some may enjoy the cacophonous, raunchy, lowest-common-denominator dreck that The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard has to offer…

Review of Censor (2021)

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Jun 2021

Censor is a bold artistic statement, inspired by the history of its own genre, though it’s not an uncritical assertion, posing complicated…

Review of In the Heights (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 Jun 2021

Like the modest but wholly winning precursor to “Hamilton” it is, In the Heights works as an essentially apolitical embrace of the American…

Review of Infinite (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 Jun 2021

The film doesn’t begin to know what to do with the reincarnation idea beyond a few sharply edited micro-flashbacks…
