Review of Cake (2014)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 16 Oct 2017

Review of The Homesman (2014)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 16 Oct 2017

Review of Beloved Sisters (2014)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 16 Oct 2017

It's a respectable, luxurious production that moves quickly for its length, but never quite brings to life a time in history of enormous social…

Review of Taken 3 (2014)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 16 Oct 2017

Review of The Wedding Ringer (2015)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 16 Oct 2017

Review of Rosewater (2014)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 16 Oct 2017

Competently crafted but seldom more than that, Rosewater shows that Stewart could probably make a living as a filmmaker if he so chose…

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 16 Oct 2017

Review of Roar (2014)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 10 Oct 2017

Review of While We're Young (2015)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 10 Oct 2017

Review of Amy (2015)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 10 Oct 2017

Review of Woman in Gold (2015)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 10 Oct 2017

Sad to say that may be the script's greatest problem: the real story involves a lot of legal wrangling that isn't terribly cinematic…
