![]() The Old Man & the Gun(2018)find me fun, give me hope, take me back, thrill me · From Kenneth Turan at Los Angeles Times: It’s a puckish film with a wistful quality, a gently comic end-of-the-line adventure about doing what you love, the passage of time and the things that might have been. |
![]() The Rider(2018)stretch my mind, thrill me, tug my heartstrings · From Peter Keough at Boston Globe: Chloe Zhao’s The Rider achieves what cinema is capable of at its best: It reproduces a world with such acuteness, fidelity, and empathy that it transcends the mundane and touches on the universal. |
![]() The Rise of Phoenixes(2018)enlighten me, give me hope, take me back, transport me · From Joel Keller at Decider: If you’re interested in the political intrigue and family dynamics involved in ancient Chinese dynasties, then The Rise of Phoenixes will be time well-spent. |
![]() The Sisters Brothers(2018)grip me, take me back, transport me · From Todd McCarthy at The Hollywood Reporter: This first English-language outing by the ever-adventurous French director Jacques Audiard (A Prophet, Rust and Bone) is a connoisseur’s delight, as it’s boisterously acted and detailed down to its last bit of shirt stitching. |
![]() The Spy Who Dumped Me(2018)find me fun, give me hope, make me laugh, romance me, up my adrenaline · From A.O. Scott at The New York Times: Ms. McKinnon is too inventive to make the character a standard, zany rom-com sidekick. There is no real precedent for her highly disciplined comic anarchy, but Ms. McKinnon reminds me a little of Peter Sellers in her command of voice, face and body and her ability to turn every scene into a popcorn popper of verbal and physical surprise. |
