Movie Reviews

A mix of dramatization and recorded interviews with Jews who managed to hide in plain sight in Berlin despite the Nazi dragnet, this hybrid film fights against itself.

Jean-Luc Godard's digressive film grapples with societal collapse through footage that has been distorted and reshuffled, hypersaturated or bleached of all color, until it is just barely recognizable.

A perpetually sodden Matthew McConaughey plays a fishing-charter captain drawn into a murder plot in this soapy, dopey tale that turns into an unconvincing fish story.

This British heist film, based on a true story, assembles Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent and other venerable actors but lacks the stylistic flourish that great caper movies demand.

Alex, played by Louis Ashbourne Serkis, is a spirited 12-year-old with a love for Arthurian lore. The movie has an affectionately retro vibe, but it's also very much in tune with its moment.

The debut feature from Melissa B. Miller strains to endear itself to viewers — and some performances succeed. But the characters lack personality and the drama any conflict.

Netflix and Hulu both have documentaries about the fiasco of Fyre Festival available this week. Both are serviceable, but there are some differences, and some ethical questions about both.
