'NAZA' Review: 'No Other Land' Directors Return With an Even Bleaker Indictment of the IDF (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Perched on a Tel Aviv rooftop, his face eclipsed by city lights, an unnamed military systems operator gives “NAZA” its mission statement: “We have to describe things as they really are.” That he speaks under a shroud of darkness, his identity concealed for fear of legal reprisal, reflects both the danger of doing so in the current climate and the grim solemnity directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor bring to the task. That task doesn’t take the shape of an investigative doc or an exposé. Much o
Robert Pattinson Says He Was 'Genuinely Throwing Up' Before 'Primetime' Premiere (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Primetime” received a hero’s welcome at the Venice Film Festival — but in the hours before Saturday’s world premiere, Robert Pattinson was a wreck. “I was genuinely throwing up, thinking, this is a huge mistake,” he said, laughing. “But that’s also part of the fun.” Pattinson clearly had a blast playing “To Catch a Predator” host Chris Hansen, crafting a media monster driven in equal parts by envy and ambition — and taking even greater pleasure in shading the character with eccentric flourishes
'Bunker' Review: Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz's Stylish Marital Thriller Is Trapped Between Satire and Suspense (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Through Spanish stars and Hollywood gloss, “Bunker,” above all else, channels the sensibility of a French playwright. Recognizing that is key to unlocking this tonally idiosyncratic marital drama, which swings between bourgeois farce and psychological thriller, tackling a raft of topical concerns by bringing them into the house. Of course, it’s useful context that writer-director Florian Zeller previously won an Oscar for “The Father” — this is, after all, a film about another prizewinning Europ
'Musk' Review: Alex Gibney's Punishing Elon Musk Doc Is the Stuff of Nightmares (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Among its other qualities, Alex Gibney’s “Musk” might be the only take on this material that gets you thinking about Mao Zedong — or, more specifically, thinking about an apocryphal quote attributed to Chen Yun: “Had Mao died in 1956, his achievements would have been immortal…” Had Gibney ended his film at the 90-minute mark, his subject’s achievements would have seemed immortal. Had it run three hours, he’d still be a “great” man, if flawed. But Gibney takes it to four hours. Alas, what can one
'Primetime' Review: Robert Pattinson Is Delightfully Gonzo in Searing Exploitation Screed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A primal scream set to queasy colors and power chords, “Primetime” will no doubt prove divisive. Railing and wailing against Bush-era hypocrisies with a virtuosic, operatic aggression, it’s the kind of film that either gets you on your feet, howling along, or leaves you flattened and faintly aloof. I’m in that second camp, though I won’t pretend this riff on “To Catch a Predator” and Chris Hansen lacks craft or conviction. Much of that craft involves amplifying and distorting a recognizable feel
