Skyscraper Sure Has a Lot of Mass Shootings for a Family-Time Adventure Movie

By Alan ScherstuhlJuly 11, 2018

Rob Reiner’s Shock and Awe Takes on Bush’s War and the New York Times — and Wins

By Alan ScherstuhlJuly 10, 2018

Shock and Awe is a 90-minute liberal told-you-so, a polemic that, like a long Rachel Maddow segment, is more cheery than thunderous, even as it names the names that must be named

<i>Sorry to Bother You</i> Smashes Corporate America and the Rules of Movie Storytelling

Sorry to Bother You Smashes Corporate America and the Rules of Movie Storytelling

By April WolfeJuly 9, 2018

Purge Series’ New Prequel Makes Previous Episodes Look Subtle

By Bilge EbiriJuly 6, 2018

Gillian Flynn and HBO’s Sharp Objects Cut to the American Bone

By Lara ZarumJuly 5, 2018

The writers, who include Flynn as well as series creator Marti Noxon (Mad Men, UnREAL, Dietland), don’t exactly hit viewers over the head with the retrograde gender politics of small-town America, but those dynamics are firmly on display

Ant-Man and the Wasp Doesn’t Quite Stomp Out Ant-Man‘s Pleasures

By Bilge EbiriJuly 4, 2018

Whitney Soars When It Lets Its Subject Speak and Sing for Herself

By Lara ZarumJuly 4, 2018

At first, Whitney gives off the unpleasant whiff of dirty laundry being aired, as the members of Houston’s inner circle, speaking alone in front of the camera, dish on the family’s secrets

Brainstorming the Revolution with <i>Sorry to Bother You</i> Director Boots Riley

Brainstorming the Revolution with Sorry to Bother You Director Boots Riley

By Lara ZarumJuly 4, 2018

Debra Granik’s Edge-of-Society Thriller Leave No Trace Quietly Blows Minds

<i>Eating Animals</i> Demands We Face the Truth About Factory Farming

Eating Animals Demands We Face the Truth About Factory Farming

By Alan ScherstuhlJuly 2, 2018

… Eating Animals proves persuasive mostly in its diagnosis of what has gone wrong, and in its account of how it went wrong on such a massive scale (through thumbnail histories of KFC, Tyson, and Chicken McNuggets)

Daughter-Father Comedy <i>Boundaries</i> Won’t Let Vera Farmiga Catch a Break

Daughter-Father Comedy Boundaries Won’t Let Vera Farmiga Catch a Break

The New Sicario Is Violent, Moving and Implausible, But Less So Than Real Life

By April WolfeJune 27, 2018

This ultra-violent crime thriller, satirizing some of Americans’ most despicable, imperialist impulses, somehow seems as though it is from a quieter, more decent time — and that’s depressing

Netflix’s Set It Up Makes a Compelling Case for Romantic-Comedy Formula

By Monica CastilloJune 27, 2018

Harper and Charlie’s flirty dialogue rushes by at screwball comedy speeds, a funny affectation that’s no less effective now than it was in movies like It Happened One Night or The Lady Eve

Mary Shelley Desperately Needs the Spark of Life

TNT’s Pulpy, Bloody Claws Tears Into an America Gone Mad

By Lara ZarumJune 20, 2018

Hannah Gadsby, Cameron Esposito Seize Comedy’s New Normal
