Contempt (1964)
This veiled criticism of dubbed sound in Italian movies, along with Lang's explanation of unity in Homer, mirrors the couple's break.

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
Edwards doesn't cut it into pieces. It's all easy, loping group shots following people from place to place.

The Woman in the Window (1944)
The dream ending is a negation that moves the film out the door and back into real life.

It's a Gift (1934)
There isn't a better illustration of unsparing W. C. Fields comedy than this portrait of Mr. Muckle, a hostile, uncontrollable blind man.

Scarface (1932)
Among other things, Ben Hecht was a Chicago newspaperman, a playwright, author of maybe the funniest American novel...Hecht defines the writer-producer relationship...

Marvel's The Avengers (2012)
It is no longer enough for one superhero to fight a single villain while dealing with his own personal problems, apocalypse must now enter into it.

The Proposal (2019)
Barragán's monumental, colorful, slab-like work, which photographs beautifully and is a pleasure to look at...

Jobe'z World (2019)
This feature film is a concise and action-packed sixty-seven minutes long, and I could have easily watched another half hour of it.

Diamantino (2019)
Surely big pharma, right-wing manipulation, and the endless greed of the already wealthy deserve something a little harsher than this ninety-seven-minute underwear ad.

Ash Is Purest White (2019)
Zhao is one of the greatest actresses in cinema, and her journey in Ash Is Purest White is hardboiled and subtly melodramatic.

Bi has established himself as a significant artist with just two films partially by being a synthesist of all previous auteur cinema.

The Hustle (2019)
The Hustle is very low stakes and I only saw it because I was stuck in a mall in New Jersey for two hours and it was the next thing playing.

Her Smell (2019)

The Souvenir (2019)
The Souvenir is a beautifully realized, painful movie that only hits the viewer in the hours and days after seeing it.

Non-Fiction (Doubles vies) (2019)
Non-Fiction is an immature French farce.

High Life (2019)
Hard to take, unclear in its intentions, it nonetheless delivers hard truths in a new way.

Domino (2019)
Politics for De Palma is a bizarre excuse for exploitation. This is one of his films in which he spares no one.

Captain Marvel (2019)
It's hard to remember Captain Marvel because it was boring.

The Dead Don't Die (2019)
In the end, it plays like a country version of Ivan Passer's bleak-funny 1974 movie Law and Disorder...what matters to Jarmusch is that there is a natural order in the universe.

Aquaman (2018)

The Mule (2018)
Dianne Wiest's performance as Earl's ex-wife is repetitive and "acted," in the typical male-female dichotomy of Eastwood movies.

Look away, look away, look away, Deutschland!

At Eternity's Gate (2018)
What's so odd about today is the way people love bad art with such boundless enthusiasm.

The Wife (2018)
The Wife is an aging fantasy of revenge. Close's character is the real talent in the family.

A Star Is Born (2018)
A Star Is Born is a movie about what happens at an awards show, designed to collect awards at other awards shows.

Cold War (Zimna wojna) (2018)
There have been a lot of films about singers this year. This one, a Red Star Is Born, counters them by rejecting notions of success from our side of the Iron Curtain.

Ross has his own peculiar, attentive approach.

Roma (2018)
To Roma's credit, Cleo is not a sidekick or played for laughs. She's in the foreground.

Shoplifters (Manbiki kazoku) (2018)
Lily Franky's performance is a grab bag of little quirks and maladies.

Capernaum (Capharnaüm) (2018)
Labaki's ability with these non-professional actors, including the baby, is remarkable.

The Favourite (2018)
Colman's performance as Queen Anne is worthy of Charles Laughton in its lack of vanity and its ever-building pathos.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018)
Can You Ever Forgive Me? is a movie for adults with a grown-up understanding of economic realities and the ways inner turmoil affects behavior.

Green Book (2018)
By the end it turns into a Hallmark Christmas movie with color-blind, non-homophobic hugs all around.

The Other Side of the Wind (2018)
Where Hannaford crashes and burns, Welles succeeds with brilliance, adding to the sense of tragedy surrounding the film. It should have come out in its time.

Support the Girls (2018)
Like the manager she plays, Hall is a team player to the end. I'm not sure the ensemble cast doesn't overshadow her.

Nekrasova's voice is the voice of a generation - in tone at least.
