Review of Good Boys (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 12 Aug 2019

Review of Luce (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 07 Aug 2019

Luce spends too much time presenting a puzzle for viewers to solve and, in doing so, neglects the human drama underneath…

Review of Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 02 Aug 2019

This is a film with genuinely compelling leads, each of whom could support a solo movie, and yet they all seem on autopilot here, dispensing…

Review of Honeyland (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 25 Jul 2019

A sensitivity to both petty human concerns and striking natural beauty is what makes Honeyland a particularly enthralling documentary…

Review of Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 24 Jul 2019

The result is a surprisingly funny and extremely melancholy hangout film, an elegy for a bygone era that reflects on how all art eventually…

Review of The Art of Self-Defense (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 19 Jul 2019

Eisenberg, Nivola, and a hilariously brusque Imogen Poots (as Sensei’s only female student) are more than up to the task of finding the comedy…

Review of Stuber (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 14 Jul 2019

If you’re looking for a throwback to simpler, sillier times (with a dash of self-awareness about the state of toxic masculinity in 2019),…

Review of The Farewell (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 11 Jul 2019

Review of Midsommar (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 02 Jul 2019

Whether Midsommar works for you depends on whether Dani’s arc lands with the emotional heft Aster desires; certainly do not go into the film…

Review of Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 27 Jun 2019

Spider-Man: Far From Home is a bouncy addition to a bulging franchise, with just enough fringe zaniness to help it stand out from the pack…

Review of Yesterday (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 26 Jun 2019

This is a film that could have been triumphantly weird, or soaringly corny; it tries to split the difference and ends up merely forgettable…

Review of Them That Follow (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 20 Jun 2019

Review of Wild Rose (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 19 Jun 2019

That Rose-Lynn is an onstage force is easy to tell from the second she picks up a microphone, but Taylor makes this film less about her gift…

Review of The Dead Don't Die (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 13 Jun 2019

The Dead Don’t Die is the first horror film I’ve seen that seemed as likely to lull me to sleep as to give me nightmares…

I’m all for the studio exploring new concepts and original characters going forward, and setting aside the endless anthologizing of its biggest…

Review of Men in Black: International (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 11 Jun 2019

Review of The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 11 Jun 2019

The Last Black Man in San Francisco works best as a mood piece, and as its final act swung back toward heavy plotting, it mostly lost me, getting…

Review of Dark Phoenix (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 05 Jun 2019

The overqualified cast do their best to inject some passion into the proceedings—Fassbender, in particular, is incapable of phoning it in—but…
