    The Year’s Best Film Is This All-Time Great Mind-Melter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    From Nathan for You to The Curse to The Rehearsal, Nathan Fielder has evolved his comedy of inquisitive weirdness into something wholly and electrically new—a blending of awkward humor, social and psychological analysis, and structural inventiveness that melds fiction and non-fiction, wit and gravity, in ways that are often head-spinningly difficult to parse. Yet even his prior mind-melting works can’t fully prepare viewers for You Can See Everything (screening at the New York Film Festival

    Oscar Nominee’s New Netflix Epic Is Great—With One Exception (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    East of Eden is excellent in every respect but one, which makes its sole failing all the more frustrating. I’m speaking about lighting, or rather the lack thereof, which has plagued countless previous original Netflix productions and which mires Zoe Kazan’s take on John Steinbeck’s classic 1952 novel in visual murkiness. It’s baffling that the streamer still embraces the unnecessary, ugly gloom that besets its offerings. Nonetheless, that dimness is a persistent aggravation throughout th

    Timeless Horror Classic Gets a Stunning Modern Update (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Mike Flanagan has made a name for himself with a trio of Stephen King adaptations (Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep, and The Life of Chuck) as well as a collection of television miniseries (The Haunting of Hill House, The Fall of the House of Usher, Midnight Mass) that, no matter their source material, are heavily indebted—in tone, structure, and style—to the master of horror. Nonetheless, the acclaimed filmmaker sets the bar high with his latest stab at bringing the best-selling author’s wor

    Oscar Winner’s Triumphant Movie Year Ends in Utter Disaster (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Anne Hathaway has done just about everything this year: agonized as a pop star (Mother Mary); returned to, and rescued, journalism (The Devil Wears Prada 2); regally fought off suitors (The Odyssey); and battled dinosaurs (The End of Oak Street). Now, with Verity—an adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s 2018 novel—she’s headlined one of the goofiest films of her career. An old-school melodrama of hidden secrets, seductive passions, and murder most foul, the Oscar-winner’s latest (Oct. 2, in t

    Tom Cruise Loses the Plot in Desperate Bid for Oscar Glory (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In 1999, Tom Cruise earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his work in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnola while simultaneously headlining (alongside then-wife Nicole Kidman) Stanley Kubrick’s final film, Eyes Wide Shut. It was a titanic auteur-driven twofer for the Hollywood icon, and yet within a few years, he’d largely abandon serious drama in favor of solidifying his status as the industry’s reigning action superstar. That he was good-to-great in most of those sl
