Movie reviews of Hope Madden

All of it’s empty, of course: lurid and stylish, pseudo-feminist and pretend-woke. Review

There is utterly forgettable fun here, mainly thanks to Black and Blanchett, but the intended audience is a little tough to gauge. Review

A fresh and believable take on a very old, oft-told story, so that counts for something. Review

There’s a lot of coasting going on in The Predator. A lot of boxes being checked—sometimes checked with flair, but they’re still the same old boxes. Review

It’s too bad, because as a showcase for performances, White Boy Rick excels. It just can’t entirely decide what it wants to accomplish with its story. Review

What you’ll remember is Close, delivering, as is her way, a tour de force performance that may finally land Close her own glittering acknowledgment. Review

With a slight, sometimes silly storyline and an awful lot of atmosphere, Hardy manages an entertaining if forgettable 90 minutes. Review

The film is much more than that. And also much less. Review

It’s unfortunate because there is an awful lot of talent and aesthetic going to waste here. Review

The film is raunchy. It amounts to 90 minutes of profane, DNA-spewing nastiness with very little story to redeem it. I’m pretty sure that’s the point. Review

More than anything, Slender Man is just boring. And he shouldn’t be. Review

Yes, there are laugh out loud moments in this film, but there are far more rallying cries. Review

Is nowhere near as awful as the trailer made it out to be. Review

Burnham’s as keen to the strangulating social anxieties of middle school as he is to the shape-shifting effects of technology. Review

There are laughs—some of them tossed with a surprisingly flippant sense of the morbid—and energy galore, but it’s all a kind of sugar rush. Review

So much of the film goes very, very right—thanks in large part to another award-worthy performance by Phoenix. Review

Several of the twists in the storyline are a bit stale. Rarely is a zombie film this introspective or a horror hero this thoughtful. Review

Your best bet is to abandon yourself to the sheer ridiculousness of it. There is literally no other way to enjoy it. Review

Bursting with thoughts, images and ideas, the film never feels like it wanders into tangents. Review

Constantly revealing a new piece of information, a new source and more complications, the investigation itself becomes as much a character in the film as the triplets. Review

Started out with promise, but like so many lapsed Catholics, it lost its way. Review

The film’s deceptively whimsical comedy offers a biting criticism of traditional, romantically-masculine storytelling. Review

DeMonaco pulls nightmares from reality and pastes them together in a world that’s almost more comforting in that it’s supposed to be fantasy. Review

It’s tough to make it through the film’s 94 minutes without tearing up... Review
