Review of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (2016)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 22 Mar 2016

There is genuine if exasperated warmth here, but it is far less satisfyingly bound up into a cohesive story in this halfhearted retread of…

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 18 Mar 2016

Review of 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 17 Mar 2016

A marvelous little movie: compact, efficient, almost unbearably intense, smartly (perhaps accidentally) feminist. A glorious treat of pulp genre fun…

Review of Grandma (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 15 Mar 2016

Wonderfully, aggressively feminist, a rare crossgenerational portrait of two women getting to know each other amidst a crisis…

Review of The D Train (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 14 Mar 2016

Woefully bad feint at a dramedy in which everyone agrees the 'hero' is a terrible excuse for a man…

Review of Dope (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 14 Mar 2016

Not without its problems, but mostly a smart, engaging, bigotry-busting escapade with a hugely appealing young cast and an unflaggingly cheerful…

Review of Allegiant (2016)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 10 Mar 2016

A disappointing downfall from the previous films, the appealing metaphor for nonconformity giving way to dull good-vs-evil battle and dumb…

Review of Aloha (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 10 Mar 2016

A mess of a romantic dramedy full of colonialistic offensiveness, forced quirkiness, implausible emotion, and oblivious masculine self-centeredness…

Review of Little Boy (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 09 Mar 2016

A shamefully miscalculated tale of whimsy and come-to-Jesus inspiration with a bizarrely inappropriate haze of Norman Rockwell-esque nostalgia…

Review of Hail, Caesar! (2016)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 04 Mar 2016

Full of the Coen Brothers' usual exuberant joie de cinema, and a helluva lot of fun, but too scattershot to ever settle on saying the things…

Review of Grimsby (2016)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 04 Mar 2016

A soul-crushing experience: lazy, cheap, lurid, and stupid. Painfully unfunny and pointless…

Review of Emelie (2016)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 03 Mar 2016

A slow-burn twist on the home-invasion story with a creepily classy atmosphere of dread and menace, but where it ends up is the stuff of hoary…

Review of The Boy and the Beast (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 03 Mar 2016

A few instances of gorgeous and magical imagery cannot make up for the lack of genuine emotion or a fresh story. Strictly for devoted anime fans…

Review of London Has Fallen (2016)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 02 Mar 2016

A Nuremberg rally for 21st-century America. Pure terror porn: racist, jingoistic, thoroughly obnoxious. Donald Trump voters will love it. sob…

Review of Youth (2015)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 28 Feb 2016

Overwrought nine-tenth-life crisis drama; not even a great cast can create sympathy for the artistic and existential turning points on arty display…

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 28 Feb 2016
