Review of All Saints (2017)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 30 Aug 2017

Acting at the top saves the day-by Corbett, old pro Barry Corbin as the town curmudgeon, and (especially) Nelson Lee as the leader of the refugees…

Review of Menashe (2017)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 24 Aug 2017

The Yiddish-language Menashe wants to highlight the universality of thorny family dynamics, but it's better at highlighting the universality…

Review of Good Time (2017)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 24 Aug 2017

Good Time matches the do-anything relentlessness of its lead character, making for one of the most visceral and exciting movie experiences…

Review of The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 24 Aug 2017

Tom O'Connor's script doesn't know when to quit (half an hour earlier would have been smart); Jake Roberts' editing is sloppy; and director…

Review of Brigsby Bear (2017)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 24 Aug 2017

The movie's rewards are many, and its unforced sweetness disarms all misgivings…

Review of Leap (2017)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 24 Aug 2017

The result is a sort of Flashdance for the Teletubbies set, not as obnoxiously atrocious as The Nut Job 2 (let's hope that record stands for…

Review of Wind River (2017)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 24 Aug 2017

Wind River builds slowly, and a little of Sheridan's klutzy predator-prey symbolism goes a long way, but he also shows a genuine knack for…

Review of Step (2017)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 16 Aug 2017

The strength of these girls is inspiring…

Review of The Glass Castle (2017)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 16 Aug 2017

It's an unusual story unusually well-told, and performances are first-rate…

Review of The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature (2017)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 16 Aug 2017

It has all the traits that made The Nut Job so completely pointless-complicated non-story, dull characters, lame sight gags, lamer puns-then…

Review of Detroit (2017)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 10 Aug 2017

The final movement of Detroit feels more like the work of an awards-grubber, and exposes [Bigelow's] general awkwardness with warmth…

Review of Kidnap (2017)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 10 Aug 2017

It's efficient but unsubtle; Lee and Prieto don't know the difference between real suspense and mere tension…

Review of The Dark Tower (2017)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 10 Aug 2017

At 95 minutes it's just a messy sci-fi-horror-fantasy salad; King's elements become mere clichés. The actors and special effects crew do their best…

Review of The Emoji Movie (2017)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Aug 2017

The animation is candy-colorful, the pop-music soundtrack is catchy and the dopey puns almost pass for wit…

Review of Landline (2017)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Aug 2017

It's impossible for me to dislike a film that relies so heavily on 1990s alternative rock to set the mood, but it's also impossible to deny…

Review of Lady Macbeth (2016)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Aug 2017

The result is cold and unconvincing, by turns dull and repellent…

Review of Atomic Blonde (2017)

By Daniel Barnes (335) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Aug 2017

Theron makes for an extremely compelling kung fu cipher, and there is one extended action scene set in an apartment building that almost justifies…

Review of A Ghost Story (2017)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Aug 2017

The movie is an utterly unique masterpiece, freighted with inchoate meaning and glimpses of eternity…

Review of Maudie (2016)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 27 Jul 2017

Hawkins is the best reason to see this sluggish, pinched, claustrophobic little biopic; whenever it threatens to grow dreary, which it does…
