Movie reviews of George Wolf

There is, something that’s often deliciously dark, twisted and satisfying. Review

It’s a nice story. Helping thy neighbor is a lovely message. Why does it have to be delivered this way? Review

Often powerfully gripping and thrilling to watch, Only the Brave is a fitting salute to real people that deserve one. Review

Keeps its head above some gaps in logic to remain interesting. Review

Boasts excellent performances and a refreshing, if a bit idealized worldview. Review

Serves up some majestic scenery and a nifty crash sequence, but settles for Sparks meets Castaway. Review

A film that certainly could have dug for a deeper message, but delivers plenty of fun while it romps in the shallow end. Review

Wins by serving up both a crowd-pleasing spectacle and the human drama than ultimately made it so much more. Review

Weinstein tenderly probes faith, family, and the sacrifices necessary to hold on to what’s most important to you. Review

Settles for a well-assembled summary of gut-wrenching events. Review

Still succeeds in its mission: elevating the status of a talent that has long deserved elevating. Review

These boys are still good fun, and so is The Trip to Spain. Review

Goon was an underdog winner. Last of the Enforcers earns the penalty box. Review

What Patti Cake$ lacks in originality is made up in creative spirit, because like Patti, Jasper is a talent dreaming big. Review

Finds a delicate balance in its travels, one that understands the allure of a volatile facade. Review

As deeply as it cuts on a blunt, visceral level, Whose Streets? also benefits from a powerfully subtle context. Review

Has smarts, charm and some downright weirdness. Review

Mooney delivers a surprisingly touching performance... Review

The result will be appreciated only by the youngest viewers who just like watching the silly animals. Review

Not a pleasant film, but it is necessary. Review

The sermon is damned persuasive and the man has earned it. Review

It’s rarely more than amusing, the visuals can’t rise above average, and the “be true to yourself” mantra is entirely generic. Review

A poetic, moving testament to the certainty of time, the inevitability of death and the timeless search for connection. Review

Some of it is screamingly funny, and other times the film falls flat. Review
