Review of Bad Trip (2021)

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

I hate hidden-camera gags on principle and have since “Candid Camera.” It takes something at least as funny as the first “Borat” (and,…

Review of Nobody (2021)

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Mar 2021

Review of Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

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

Review of The Courier (2020)

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 Mar 2021

Review of Long Weekend (2021)

Review of Moxie (2021)

By Nina Metz (31) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 Mar 2021

Review of The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Feb 2021

The movie — certainly Daniels’s best since “Precious” — is as turbulent and zigzaggy as Holiday’s life no doubt felt like to the…

Review of Night of the Kings (2021)

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 Feb 2021

What happens in Night of the Kings is a piece of traditional oration and impermanent art, significantly marked by both its temporal and improvisational…

Review of I Care a Lot (2021)

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

The acting’s uniformly strong, and the script is distressingly weak…

Review of Test Pattern (2021)

By Nina Metz (31) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 Feb 2021

Review of Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Feb 2021

Wiig and Mumolo work so easily and smoothly together, you feel like an ingrate for not enjoying their efforts more in these script circumstances…

Review of Bliss (2021)

Review of Little Fish (2021)

By Katie Walsh (1,279) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Feb 2021
