Review of Tammy (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 30 Jun 2014

[Susan] Sarandon doesn't tend to have fun in movies, yet her devil-may-care turn here gives 'Tammy' an alert, unpredictable energy…

Review of Life Itself (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 30 Jun 2014

You observe as a materialist - who fully expected to return to the nothing from which he came - grapples with the very real notion that his…

Review of Earth to Echo (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 30 Jun 2014

[Their break-up by a big move] sits in the back of the mind, hovering over the proceedings, which increasingly seem like a big distraction…

Review of Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 26 Jun 2014

At times 'Whitey' plays like David Fincher's 'Zodiac': a mass of dead ends and bureaucratic incompetence that makes you wonder how justice…

Review of They Came Together (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 25 Jun 2014

It's still pretty nuts; it's just never transcendent and sometimes downright familiar. But, as we said, funny's funny…

Review of Snowpiercer (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 25 Jun 2014

[Bong Joon-ho] lays out class sideways, one section at a time, so that by the time you get to the people lounging in Jacuzzis or clubbing,…

Review of Think Like a Man Too (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 19 Jun 2014

Hart's shtick - he talks smack, his challenger reacts, he tries to hide - is already beginning to show signs of almost being tired, or at least…

Review of Third Person (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 18 Jun 2014

a big stew of the things Haggis does well and the things neither he nor anyone should ever do…

Review of Venus in Fur (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 18 Jun 2014

While [Emmanuelle Seigner has] never been this commanding, she's always had a cool intelligence, even in the delightfully disreputable 'Bitter Moon…

Review of The Signal (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 10 Jun 2014

There's more going on in the sci-fi mystery thriller 'The Signal' than shocking surprises - just not a lot more…

Review of 22 Jump Street (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 07 Jun 2014

The meta jokes aren't there because the film is being hip; they're all borne out of anguish. It doesn't want to be another dumb sequel…

Review of The Case Against 8 (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 06 Jun 2014

This is best when it's about the nitty gritty, not when it's going for the tear ducts…

Review of Obvious Child (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 06 Jun 2014

It seems less like a film about characters using humor to mask misery than a film not ready to deal with the misery it's brought up…

Review of Borgman (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 06 Jun 2014

That it never adds up to anything is a liability - it plays like 'Dogtooth' without the drive - and the secret to its unique success…

Review of The Sacrament (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 06 Jun 2014

[Ti West's] skills are underutilized and the found footage aspect is as sloppy as in a 'Paranormal Activity' number…

Review of The Fault in Our Stars (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 03 Jun 2014

It's ultimately more afraid of death than it lets on, but it goes farther into the brink than most films like it…

Review of Night Moves (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 28 May 2014

One over-the-top sequence late in is something that someone Reichardt, a plain minimalist, should never have forced herself to stage…

Review of A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 27 May 2014
