‘Verity’ Review: Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway Drift Through Another Listless Colleen Hoover Adaptation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Director Michael Showalter shows no feel whatsoever for the erotic thriller genre in this unintentionally funny tale of a ghost writer haunted by the author she's emulating. Whenever Hollywood latches obsessively onto the oeuvre of a pop novelist du jour, the law of averages dictates that the ensuing spate of films can’t be all bad: More than a couple of those ’90s John Grisham-based potboilers were solid, while in “The Notebook,” we actually got one Nicholas Sparks movie that people remember tw
‘Ghost Song’ Review: Fatih Akin Doesn’t Find Top Form in This Supernatural Romance, but at Least It Has Beautiful Ghosts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Separated by tragedy on the night they meet, two young graduates continue their relationship anyway in this thin but radiantly shot 'Wings of Desire' riff. Since hitting an artistic peak with the back-to-back festival triumphs “Head-On” and “Edge of Heaven” in the mid-2000s, German-Turkish auteur Fatih Akin has darted all over the map in genre, style and form — occasionally striking commercially, as with the Diane Kruger thriller “In the Fade” and the local hip-hop biopic “Rhinegold,” without ev
‘Charlie Harper’ Review: Emilia Jones and Nick Robinson Come Apart, in Fits and Starts, in a Fuzzy, Non-Linear Breakup Drama (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The stars are appealing enough in Mac Eldridge and Tom Dean's directorial debut, but can't quite make us care about the ill-starred couple they play. The first thing to know about “Charlie Harper” is that it’s not, in fact, about someone called Charlie Harper. Charlie (Nick Robinson) and Harper (Emilia Jones) are a couple, meeting and parting at various stages across a five-year timeline; the title of this earnestly melancholy first feature by directing duo Mac Eldridge and Tom Dean implies that
‘Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom’ Review: The Ovine Adventurer Returns for a Perfectly Silly Halloween Treat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The third feature-length entry in Aardman's spinoff franchise maintains all the virtues of the previous two — energetic, ingenuous slapstick that doesn't outstay its welcome. It’s a good year for sheep at the movies, which makes it a good year for pretty much anyone at the movies: Months after “The Sheep Detectives” proved one of the surprise delights of the spring, Aardman’s reliably lovable Shaun the Sheep returns to ensure we haven’t forgotten who’s the ovine OG. The third feature-length outi
‘Evil Genius’ Review: Courteney Cox Fashions the Pizza Bomber Case Into a Broad, Shrilly Played Farce (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sharing its title with Netflix’s hit 2018 documentary series, this slipshod vehicle for Patricia Arquette and David Harbour embellishes the facts with comedy, but not much humanity. If you were glued to “Evil Genius,” Netflix’s 2018 documentary series about the bizarre “pizza bomber” killing of 2003, but wished its true-crime study rang just a little less true, then Courteney Cox’s new film of the same title has you covered. Dramatizing that sad, sordid story of weaponized criminal incompetence
