Review of Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return (2014)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 08 May 2014

Review of Moms' Night Out (2014)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 08 May 2014

It’s a passable knock-off of less-godly but more inspired secular fare, which may not sound like high praise, but is clearly all the filmmakers…

Review of Breastmilk (2014)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 06 May 2014

Review of The Double (2014)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 06 May 2014

Review of The Sacrament (2014)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 04 May 2014

Review of Chances Are (1989)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 04 May 2014

As a featherweight trifle rooted in young death, an endless mourning process, and quasi-incestuous stirrings, the film suffers from jarring…

Review of Walk of Shame (2014)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 02 May 2014

Brill’s point that there should be no such thing as a “walk of shame” is a good one, but he lacks the conviction to see it through honestly—or…

Review of NOW: In the Wings on a World Stage (2014)

By Chris Klimek (121) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 30 Apr 2014

Review of Belle (2013)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 30 Apr 2014

Review of Filth (2013)

By Andrew Lapin (196) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 30 Apr 2014

Filth is bolstered by a gonzo performance from McAvoy, who seems determined to out-Bad Lieutenant the American Bad Lieutenants…

Review of Decoding Annie Parker (2014)

By David Ehrlich (1,229) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 30 Apr 2014

Cross-cutting the story of a cancer victim who’s struggling to maintain her agency with the story of the woman who’s trying to cure her…

Review of Mr. Jones (1993)

By Noel Murray (1,901) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 29 Apr 2014

The surrealism that dominates so much of Mr. Jones’ final stretch is admirably unusual, but it’s also confusing, and quickly becomes tedious…

Review of Bad Johnson (2014)

By Adam Nayman (350) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 29 Apr 2014

Instead of trying for something truly outrageous or surreal—qualities that should flow naturally from the script’s insane premise—writer…

Review of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

Review of 16 Acres (2012)

By Jen Chaney (126) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 28 Apr 2014
