Review of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 17 Apr 2014

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 16 Apr 2014

Review of Divergent (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 16 Apr 2014

Review of Being Ginger (2013)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 14 Apr 2014

Review of The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 10 Apr 2014

A teeth-grindingly, blood-boilingly infuriating cinematic trial that's like an art school film project gone horribly awry…

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 08 Apr 2014

Culture clash amplifies the array of life options open for all women, and lends this quietly compelling film an extra layer of difficulty for…

Review of Too Sane for This World (2011)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 07 Apr 2014

An enlightening portrait of 12 adults from across the autistic spectrum that sheds some much needed light on a subculture that could do with…

Review of Grand Piano (2013)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 07 Apr 2014

Builds up a good momentum of suspense only to throw it away on a rushed and powerfully unsatisfying ending, rendering all its preposterousness…

Review of The Double (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 03 Apr 2014

A painfully funny odyssey of personal ineffectualness that is bitterly wonderful in how it revels in the decrepit horror of the everyday world…

Review of Visitors (2013)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 03 Apr 2014

A weirdly beautiful film, eerie in its complicated simplicity, and open to seven billion interpretations, all of them valid…

Review of Tom at the Farm (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 03 Apr 2014

Review of Rio 2 (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 02 Apr 2014

This is what passes for a children's movie these days: a 1950s sitcom drawn in pretty tropical CGI colors with a few mostly forgettable songs…

Review of Noah (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 30 Mar 2014
