We Live in Time (2024) Richard Crouse Part rom com and part essay on what lingers after we’re gone, We Live in Time is a five-hankie tear-jerker fueled by the intimate and charismatic performances of its leads Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.

Rumours (2024) Richard Crouse Poking fun at self-serving politicians could be low hanging fruit, but Rumours doesn’t just pick the fruit, it picks it and hurls it at it subjects with great, gleeful comic force.

Woman of the Hour (2023) Richard Crouse Anna Kendrick makes a sensational, but never sensationalized directorial debut with the taut true crime thriller Woman of the Hour, which looks at institutional misogyny through the lens of a true crime story.

Piece By Piece (2024) Richard Crouse Rendered completely in colorful Lego bricks, Piece By Piece has uplift, great music and doesn’t look like any other music documentary, but story wise, it is a rather straightforward music biography.

Posted Oct 10, 2024

White Bird (2023) Richard Crouse White Bird is an earnest testament to the power of imagination and kindness to overcome wickedness that is occasionally touching but doesn’t hit hard enough.

Saturday Night (2024) Richard Crouse Saturday Night captures the anxiety, the humour and the sheer nerve it took to get the show off the ground. A great ensemble cast brings this love letter to show business, tenacity and Lorne Michaels to vivid life.

Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) Richard Crouse For better and for worse, Joker: Folie à Deux mixes romance and show tunes with law and order in what may be the bleakest jukebox musical ever. It is ambitious and bold, like All That Jazz filtered through a funhouse mirror, but it’s also frustrating.

Lee (2023) Richard Crouse Kate Winslet is terrific as the fiercely committed photographer, but is let down by a conventional set-up.

Posted Sep 26, 2024

My Old Ass (2024) Richard Crouse Despite a title that suggests a 1990s teen comedy, My Old Ass is a surreal coming-of-age story that stays anchored to reality with natural, heartfelt performances and a great deal of humor.

Megalopolis (2024) Richard Crouse As idiosyncratic a movie as we’re likely to see this year.

Posted Sep 26, 2024

A Different Man (2024) Richard Crouse A Different Man is a singular movie. Schimberg digs deep to examine the skin-deep notions of attractiveness, and the effect of beauty on the eye of the beholder.

Posted Sep 26, 2024

The Wild Robot (2024) Richard Crouse The animated The Wild Robot will put you in the mind of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and WALL-E, but carves out its own, unique, rewarding space andhas the makings of a classic.

Posted Sep 26, 2024

The Invisibles (2024) Richard Crouse The Invisibles is thoughtful, provocative filmmaking that asks fundamental questions about life, love and trauma is an entertaining, and often funny, way.

Posted Sep 19, 2024

Wolfs (2024) Richard Crouse By the time the end credits roll Wolfs has revealed itself to not be about men immersed in a world of murder and mayhem, but as a study in loneliness.

Posted Sep 19, 2024

Transformers One (2024) Richard Crouse Transformers One is a standalone movie, one that offers up copious Easter Eggs for longtime fans, and a top-notch, entertaining entryway, with great characters and slick animation, for new fans.

Posted Sep 19, 2024

The Substance (2024) Richard Crouse The Substance goes on a bit too long, but director Coralie Fargeat's gruesome vision, and the finale’s ankle-deep bloodbath, is a thing of terrible beauty.

Posted Sep 19, 2024

The Critic (2023) Richard Crouse Handsomely mounted, with sumptuous period details, The Critic and its topflight performances detail mostly despicable people who hide their nefarious motivations behind an upper-class veneer.

Posted Sep 12, 2024

His Three Daughters (2023) Richard Crouse His Three Daughters is infused with tension, heartfelt emotion and bittersweet humor, to create a powerful statement on the healing power of love.

Posted Sep 12, 2024

Speak No Evil (2024) Richard Crouse A violent comedy of manners, Speak No Evil explores where civility ends, and survival begins. A simple, character-based thriller with a slow build to an explosive finale, it’s a crowd-pleasing good time.

Posted Sep 12, 2024

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) Richard Crouse You may not have the time of your afterlife at “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” It is longer, louder and unrulier than the 1988 original, but it does deliver enough laughs, fan service and new ideas to cast its spell.

Posted Sep 05, 2024

Deaner '89 (2024) Richard Crouse Loud and proud, Deaner ‘89 is an outlandish comedy, with, what must be one of the highest f-bomb to lines of dialogue ratios in film history, and yet it succeeds because of its heart, not just its humor.

Posted Sep 05, 2024

The Front Room (2024) Richard Crouse Kathryn Hunter is The Front Room’s withered heart. Without her wicked performance, and the game of figuring out exactly what she is up to, you’d be left with a disappointing horror riff on Monster-In-Law.

Posted Sep 05, 2024

Out Come the Wolves (2024) Richard Crouse When Out Come the Wolves moves away from the human nature of its characters to the survival story, it becomes more visceral, but less interesting.

Posted Aug 30, 2024

Reagan (2024) Richard Crouse A cradle-to-almost-grave look at the 40th President of the United States, Reagan covers a lot of ground and does so respectfully but at a gallop that doesn’t allow for deep exploration or any new information.

Posted Aug 30, 2024

1992 (2024) Richard Crouse The robbery, and resulting complications, are straight out of the Heist 101 Handbook for Screenwriters, but the family drama and contrasting parenting skills freshen up what otherwise may have been a standard b-movie.

Posted Aug 29, 2024

The Crow (2024) Richard Crouse The Crow is back, but, unfortunately, never really takes flight. For a movie about soulmates, and with a villain who dooms souls to hell, the new film feels soulless.

Posted Aug 23, 2024

Blink Twice (2024) Richard Crouse A confident, if scattered, directorial debut from Zoë Kravitz, Blink Twice, doesn’t entirely work, but as a story about the nature of memory, it is memorable enough to earn a recommendation.

Posted Aug 22, 2024

Strange Darling (2023) Richard Crouse Clever and subversive, Strange Darling is an expertly made exercise in nihilism. What begins as a standard serial killer flick soon widens and deepens to become a thought provoking, provocative rethink of the whole genre.

Posted Aug 22, 2024

My Penguin Friend (2024) Richard Crouse Gently paced—read: S-L-O-O-O-O-O-O-W—My Penguin Friend sometimes feels like an episode of “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom” with a heartwarming story attached to the nature photography.

Posted Aug 16, 2024

Close to You (2023) Richard Crouse Led by strong performances, Close to You is emotional, therapeutic and just a little bit messy.

Posted Aug 15, 2024

Alien: Romulus (2024) Richard Crouse A horror film set in space, Alien: Romulus is a back-to-basics movie that finds a way to use our nostalgia for the original films as a springboard for some scary new ideas.

Posted Aug 15, 2024

Good One (2024) Richard Crouse “Good One is a coming-of-age film that defies expectations. It can sometimes feel like nothing is happening, but somehow, it delicately ramps up the tension, one crossed boundary at a time.

Posted Aug 15, 2024

It Ends With Us (2024) Richard Crouse Abuse is a thorny, ugly subject, and nobody wants to see explicit representations of it on screen, but It Ends with Us, while well-meaning, simplifies the issue to the point of melodrama. Sincere melodrama, but melodrama none the less.

Posted Aug 09, 2024

The Instigators (2024) Richard Crouse “The Instigators cleverly and humorously breathes new life into the failed-criminals-on-the-run genre, through interesting characters, some high-powered action and genuinely funny situations.

Posted Aug 09, 2024

Cuckoo (2024) Richard Crouse It’s not the end of the year yet, but I’m willing to bet the aptly named Cuckoo will be the strangest arthouse horror film of the year. Its sheer willingness to embrace its incomprehensibility is part of its eccentric charm.

Posted Aug 09, 2024

Borderlands (2024) Richard Crouse “Borderlands shares the bright and bold aesthetic from the video games that inspired it but smooths down the rough edges of the game, leaving behind a PG13 rated movie that is neither fan service or anything new.

Posted Aug 09, 2024

Trap (2024) Richard Crouse Josh Hartnett ensures that Trap is a bit of over-the-top fun, but the conventional ending sucks much of the devious playfulness that came before it away.

Posted Aug 02, 2024

Sing Sing (2023) Richard Crouse Because the uplift and empathy on display is such a departure for a prison movie, it would be easy to be cynical about a movie like Sing Sing. But it is impossible to deny the crowd-pleasing universal story of the redemptive power of art and community.

Posted Aug 01, 2024

Starve Acre (2023) Richard Crouse The folk horror in Starve Acre comes slowly, building gradually before climaxing in a disturbing third act with its powerful depiction of grief and the manifestation of the uncanny.

The Fabulous Four (2024) Richard Crouse The Fabulous Four means well but is a less than fabulous film that doesn’t deliver the goods.

Posted Jul 26, 2024

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) Richard Crouse “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a World War II movie via breezy comic book storytelling, so don’t expect a history lesson, expect the kind of charismatic antiheroes director Guy Ritchie has made a career of documenting,

Posted Jul 25, 2024

(2024) Richard Crouse If the word bombastic took steroids it might come close to describing the R-rated Deadpool & Wolverine. Filled with fan service, it’s a good time, even if the experience of watching it sometimes feels like being on the inside of a blender set to puree.

Posted Jul 25, 2024

Young Woman and the Sea (2024) Richard Crouse Dusted lightly with schmaltz, Young Woman and the Sea is predictable, but its sheer pluckiness and eagerness to uplift earns it a recommendation.

Posted Jul 18, 2024

Widow Clicquot (2023) Richard Crouse Handsomely photographed, with fine period details, excepting the English accents favored by the actors playing French roles, Widow Clicquot is a toast-worthy testament to the Grand Dame and her legacy.

Posted Jul 18, 2024

The Dead Don't Hurt (2023) Richard Crouse An old-fashioned Western with a modern twist, Viggo Mortensen’s The Dead Don’t Hurt, looks like a classic horse opera, but places its focus on the immigrant experience and its heroine's indomitable spirit, rather than on the cliches of the genre.

Posted Jul 18, 2024

Twisters (2024) Richard Crouse Twisters is the rare action/disaster flick, that values brains over brawn. The storm chasing scenes are intense, but that intensity is matched only by the passionate tornado talk and that meteorologicalese tends to slow down the film’s forward momentum.
