    ‘Rolling Loud: The Movie’ Review: Owen Wilson Plays a Very Bad Dad in a Tone-Deaf Would-Be Comedy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    An underage teenager gets snuck into a hip-hop music festival headlined by Travis Scott and soon goes missing, his desperate father frantically attempting to find him before it’s too late. No, it’s not a harrowing drama based on the tragic 2021 real-life events at Scott’s Astroworld concert in Texas, where 10 concertgoers were killed in a fatal crowd crush. Instead, Rolling Loud: The Movie is…a comedy. Discuss among yourselves. To say that this effort written and directed by Jeremy Garelick (The

    ‘Heart of the Beast’ Review: Brad Pitt and His Canine Co-Star Earn Your Tears in David Ayer’s Tense, Tender Survival Thriller (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    If you’ve seen the trailer for Brad Pitt’s new movie, you probably think that it’s a harrowing tale of survival in a dangerous wilderness. Don’t be fooled. Heart of the Beast is actually a love story, and one of the most moving to come along in a long time. That it’s a love story between a man and his dog doesn’t at all detract from its emotional impact. Indeed, Pitt displays an engagement with his co-star that may be his most resonant yet. Although to be fair, that isn’t really saying much sinc

    ‘Murderous’ Review: Neil LaBute’s New Film Is Undone by Its Overly Familiar Premise and Obvious Plot Machinations (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Best-selling novels like Jean Hanff Korelitz’s The Plot and stage thrillers like Ira Levin’s Deathtrap, among many other works, have demonstrated that stealing another writer’s work can have fateful if not deadly consequences. Neil LaBute (In the Company of Men, Nurse Betty) delivers another variation on the familiar theme with his latest effort, receiving its world premiere at the Oldenburg Film Festival. Taking place in a single location and featuring but three lead performers, Murderous carri

    ‘Strange Neighbors’ Review: A Pretty but Familiar-Feeling Environmental Doc Portrays Natural Beauty Jostled by Man-Made Ugliness (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There are certain words in film descriptions that can produce hives in reviewers. A prime example is “meditative,” an often-used adjective that’s particularly susceptible to abuse. But there’s no denying it’s the word to describe Mi Steinbach’s nature documentary Strange Neighbors, which chronicles the abundant wildlife on a man-made island in the Elbe River near Hamburg that’s closely adjacent not only to giant container ships passing by but also huge factories and refineries near its shores. S

    ‘Tiny Fugitives’ Review: Alternately Tiresome and Amusing, Johnny Knoxville’s Chaotic Jewish Camp Comedy Is Essentially What You’d Expect (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In his latest movie, Johnny Knoxville nearly gets electrocuted on a fence and pees himself, clings to the hood of a speeding jeep, and suffers numerous other physical abuses. No, it’s not the latest Jackass flick, but rather Michael Lewen’s scatological new comedy about kids at summer camp. The sort of determinedly outrageous R-rated comedy that thinks that 12-year kids cursing like drunken sailors is inherently uproarious, Tiny Fugitives would probably attract an enthusiastic audience of adoles
