    ‘Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie’ Review: Alex Gibney Profiles the Controversial Author During His Harrowing Hospitalization (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Rushdie, with the help of his wife Rachel Eliza Griffiths, bares his scars in the days and weeks after being violently attacked, in this standard but comprehensive portrait of the writer’s life under fire. There’s nothing more distressing in “Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie’ than the unflinching closeups of the author’s wounded body in the days and weeks after August 12, 2022, when he was repeatedly stabbed while on stage at a literary festival in upstate New York. The camera linge

    ‘Hombre al Agua’ Review: Gael García Bernal Directs and Stars in a Sputtering, Screwball-y Dramedy About One Man’s Identity Crisis (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Mexican star’s third feature as director fumbles its game of shifting roles and perspectives, delivering an awkwardly low-energy meditation on life-as-performance, complete with Ricky Martin cameo. Sifting through Gael García Bernal’s recent roles — from the namesake conquistador of Lav Diaz’s “Magellan,” the grieving wife-guy in Piero Messina’s droopy sci-fi “Another End,” and the fast-aging family man of M. Night Shyamalan’s “Old” — won’t give you much insight on “Hombre al Agua,” which tr

    ‘A Good Little Soldier’ Review: Alba Rohrwacher Goes Corporate Drone in Stéphane Brizé’s Lukewarm Workplace Drama (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The French filmmaker’s fourth film to compete in Venice follows a workaholic human resources manager as she undergoes an underwhelming moral and personal reckoning. There’s not a single moment in Stéphane Brizé’s lukewarm workplace drama “A Good Little Soldier” where Alba Rohrwacher’s Carla Moretti isn’t at work — or on her way to the office, or at a coffee shop around the corner where she could scurry right back. Bowing in Venice’s main competition, and Brizé’s fourth time on the Lido, the film

    ‘The Burning Giants’ Review: An Arcane, Multi-Pronged Mystery About Ethnic Cleansing in Thailand (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Almost a decade after his Orizzonti winner 'Manta Ray,' Phuttiphong Aroonpheng returns to the sidebar with an admirably elliptical but strangely single-note tale about the violent eviction and forced assimilation of an indigenous community. If it’s a bit too easy to group Thai director Phuttiphong Aroonpheng into a post-Apichatpong Weerasethakul wave of cryptic fablemakers, his latest only strengthens this association. His third feature “The Burning Giants” is a woozy dystopian mystery, with fog

    ‘Woman Unknown’ Review: Some More Problematic Sex — and Its Consequences — by Denmark’s May el-Toukhy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    With her follow-up to 'Queen of Hearts,' the only woman director in competition at Venice unfolds a provocative but predictable psychodrama about sexual shame in post-WWII Copenhagen, anchored by a magnetic Mathilde Arcel. Against the rubble gray and stiff mahogany with which director May el-Toukhy washes out her post-Second World War Copenhagen, the pops of crimson in “Woman Unknown” announce a stark symbolism that’s about as subtle as the red swastika eventually smeared on the front door of pr
