‘Diary of a Mad Old Man’ Review: Wayne Wang and Fan Bingbing Unintentionally Find the Boredom in Sex and Death (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jun'ichirō Tanizaki’s classic Japanese novel about an elderly stroke victim lusting after his daughter-in-law gets a tepid update in Wayne Wang’s first feature since 2019. Given its premise — a post-stroke retiree derives sexual pleasure from his daughter-in-law — the perverse qualities of Jun’ichirō Tanizaki’s classic “Diary of a Mad Old Man” are plentiful. But by the standards of contemporary mores, the 1961 novel isn’t particularly explicit; in his first feature since 2019, Wayne Wang initial
‘The Stunt Driver’ Review: Jay Baruchel Takes a Leap into Tepid Biopic Territory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Baruchel takes the lead for a period comedy about a hapless stunt driver that isn’t as funny as the documentary it’s based on. In “The Stunt Driver,” Jay Baruchel reteams with his “Goon” director Michael Dowse and takes on a showy lead part as stunt driver Ken Carter, who’s best remembered for a jump he didn’t make: a proposed mile-long leap over the St. Lawrence River in a rocket-powered car. The five years spent on that ill-fated project were captured in the 1981 documentary “The Devil At Your
‘Le Faux Soir’ Review: Fake News Tells the Truth in an Earnest, Slow-Paced Period Piece (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Based on a true story, the latest from Belgian director Michaël R. Roskam adds conspicuous flourishes but no real zip to a wartime film staged like a lackluster crime caper. “Le Faux Soir” sources its high concept — hijacking state media propaganda’s fake news to tell the truth — from Second World War history. In 1943, disgruntled anarchist and poet Marc Aubrion (Arieh Worthalter) is recruited by the Belgian Resistance, which publishes its own underground newspaper. Marc’s brainwave is to reach
‘The Sun Never Sets’ Review: Dakota Fanning and Jake Johnson Split, Maybe, in Joe Swanberg’s Unsatisfying Romcom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A couple takes a relationship break in a movie that, like its characters, unsuccessfully tries to have it all. Long past his sexually explicit enfant terrible mumblecore origins, writer-director Joe Swanberg continues his ongoing experiments in honoring the romantic comedy’s conventional satisfactions while expanding its sexual parameters with “The Sun Never Sets.” Wendy (Dakota Fanning) has been dating sedate single dad Jack (Swanberg regular Jake Johnson) for two years. When he decides they sh
