Review of 20th Century Women (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 04 Jan 2017

Review of Paterson (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 04 Jan 2017

Paterson' is a film extraordinary in its ordinariness, in its willingness to show us people like these, and to suggest that these will be…

Review of Hidden Figures (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 04 Jan 2017

It's both a vital and important piece of our history and a strikingly slapdash movie, clumsily executed and filled with scenes that are barely…

Review of Fences (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 04 Jan 2017

Washington's direction can't match his acting - 'Fences' is great filmed theater but not exactly great cinema…

Review of The Ref (1994)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 04 Jan 2017

It's not just a Denis Leary vehicle. It's a real movie, with drama and grace and intelligence (and slapstick and drunk Santa gags and crude laughs)…

Review of Live by Night (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 04 Jan 2017

The beats of the gangster movie have become so familiar that you almost have to rebuild the thing to make an impression…

Review of Passengers (2016)

By Lara Zarum (23) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Dec 2016

It's a tidy message, if not exactly the one 'Passengers' intends to send home: Man is bored, so man ruins woman's life…

Review of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 10 Dec 2016

There's no warmth to the movie, no good cheer or happiness, and (at risk of bathing in bathos), ne'er a hint of what makes the season special…

Review of I Am Not Your Negro (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 10 Dec 2016

The most urgent movie of 2016, which seems a strange thing to say about a movie written in the 1980s, predominately about the 1960s. But here we are…

Review of I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 03 Dec 2016

A film about the joy of being young and a little bit crazy, ruled by the organizing principle of all Zemeckis and Gale's early work: barely…

Review of The Edge of Seventeen (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Nov 2016

Kelly Fremon Craig's characters aren't dumb, and neither is her movie; it's fast, and sly, and funny, and so keenly observed it hurts…

Review of Rules Don't Apply (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 20 Nov 2016

After waiting this long for new Beatty, it gives me no pleasure to report 'Rules Don't Apply' is not terribly good…

Review of My Blind Brother (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 Nov 2016

This is a funny movie, with just enough edge to keep you off-balance…

Review of Thank You, Del: The Story of the Del Close Marathon (2015)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 Nov 2016

There's still a lot to like here, particularly for comedy nerds: great footage (new and old), insightful interviews, and a genuine love for…

Review of Rainbow Time (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 18 Nov 2016

Phillips - as both director and actor - has trouble with the film's key character; he's so insufferable, he upsets the delicate balance they…

Review of Black (2015)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 17 Nov 2016

The filmmaking is aesthetically sublime, but that's about all it's got going, and by its climax, you're just waiting for them to check the…

Review of The Arbalest (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 17 Nov 2016
