Review of Lemon (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

This is not a conventional comedy; in fact, it barely qualifies as a comedy at all, staking out a claim in its own, strange territory…

Review of Marjorie Prime (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

It's not an easy movie to engage with - the antiseptic settings and anthropological approach can keep the viewer at a distance…

Review of Mudbound (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

Rees's first film, 'Pariah,' was a small, bracing character study; here, she makes a sweeping period drama, and in one film has catapulted…

Review of Trophy (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

It's an emotional issue that requires nuanced discussion and solutions, and kudos to'Trophy' for giving them their proper weight…

Review of Person to Person (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

The writing and playing is so shambling and affable (there's a real 'They All Laughed' flavor to it), we don't mind how scattershot it seems…

Review of Quest (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

Quest' is a film with a bit of surface flash - the family's patriarch Christopher is an aspiring music producer/promoter - but that element…

Review of The Incredible Jessica James (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

Jessica James' isn't much of a movie - it's slight and underwritten, and even at 85 minutes, a lot of it feels like padding…

Review of Wilson (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

Wilson's dialogue is peppered with colorful vulgarity and provocative pronouncements, but the movie is trying so hard to be outrageous, it…

Review of Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

A call to arms, a reminder that, after all, a free press is part of the bedrock of democracy. It's an upsetting movie…

Review of Manifesto (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

This could've been an unbearably pretentious and self-important work…

Review of The Polka King (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

A frisky and energetic comedy with a snappy, screwball spirit, which isn't exactly a given, considering the subject matter…

Review of Ingrid Goes West (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

It's a troubling character, but she manages to invoke sympathy, without shying away from the real darkness at the center of the story…

Review of Gold (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

The director is Stephen Gaghan, helming his first theatrical feature since 2005's 'Syriana,' and I have no idea what the wait was for if he…

Review of The Little Hours (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

It's juvenile and bawdy and stupid and crude, but reader, I'm sorry, I laughed. Frequently…

Review of An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

It's not that 'Sequel' isn't valuable - it's full of startling footage and important information. It's just... not much of a movie…

Review of Before I Fall (2017)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 30 Jan 2017

It's almost as if this were the result of one of those asinine pitch meetings at the beginning of 'The Player': Okay, it's 'Groundhog Day…

Review of Deepwater Horizon (2016)

By Jason Bailey (832) for Flavorwire (598) on 17 Jan 2017
