By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 23 May 2015

Review of The Assassin (2015)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 23 May 2015

Review of Macbeth (2015)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 22 May 2015

Review of Sicario (2015)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 22 May 2015

Review of Poltergeist (2015)

By Kate Erbland (681) for The Playlist (3,871) on 21 May 2015

Review of Green Room (2016)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 19 May 2015

An exciting, splattery, funny genre movie that somehow never once feels disposable…

Review of Tomorrowland (2015)

By Rodrigo Perez (382) for The Playlist (3,871) on 18 May 2015

Review of Inside Out (2015)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 17 May 2015

Review of The D Train (2015)

By Zach Hollwedel (108) for The Playlist (3,871) on 15 May 2015

The D Train goes off the rails (weak, unfinished, poorly constructed rails), and wrecks somewhere between mediocre and unfortunately disappointing…

Review of Carol (2015)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 15 May 2015

Made of crystal and suppressed tears, shot eternally through windows and mirrors and half-closed doors, Todd Haynes' Carol is a love story…

Review of Love and Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere (2014)

By Nicholas Laskin (10) for The Playlist (3,871) on 15 May 2015

Love and Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere is a kooky, uneven, mostly entertaining case of real-life weirdness, a gumbo of disparate…

Review of The Last Reel (2014)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 15 May 2015

More about story than style, The Last Reel relates a personal, cross-generational tale of love and hate to the loss of cultural heritage and…

Review of Son of Saul (2015)

By Oliver Lyttelton (141) for The Playlist (3,871) on 15 May 2015

Review of An Open Secret (2014)

By Rodrigo Perez (382) for The Playlist (3,871) on 15 May 2015

Meticulously crafted and investigated (and no doubt heavily vetted by lawyers), Berg brings a sobering solemnity to a very grave matter, but…

Review of Pound of Flesh (2015)

By Ken Guidry (4) for The Playlist (3,871) on 15 May 2015

Review of Cub (2014)

By Kevin Jagernauth (311) for The Playlist (3,871) on 15 May 2015

Perhaps Cub would have worked as a 30-minute episode on TV, but as far as theatrical features go, Cub is a puppy with no bite…

Review of Irrational Man (2015)

By Jessica Kiang (522) for The Playlist (3,871) on 15 May 2015
