Twitter Review: An Education

September 13, 2021May 12, 2010 by Culture Snob

Based on a memoir, the facile, impatient ‘An Education’ is incredible, and glosses over its most compelling element: the facilitating family

Twitter Review: Fantastic Mr. Fox

September 13, 2021April 27, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ balances Dahl’s aggressive oddity with Anderson’s preciousness; given Wes’ recent missteps, animation is a promising path

Twitter Review: Dead Snow

September 13, 2021April 22, 2010 by Culture Snob

Movie-loving ‘Dead Snow’ deals engagingly with undying evil and pointless greed, but the Nazi-zombie trifle is mostly large with intestines.

Twitter Review: Sugar

September 13, 2021April 22, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Sugar’ too broadly sketches Iowa and cuts corners with baseball, but its subversion of sports-movie expectations is refreshingly authentic.

Twitter Review: Where the Wild Things Are

September 13, 2021April 22, 2010 by Culture Snob

Saddled with too much emotional baggage, the great-looking ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ is nearly joyless but in its goodbyes finds resonance

Twitter Review: Masters of Horror: Imprint

September 13, 2021April 15, 2010 by Culture Snob

Blocked in the U.S., Miike’s ‘Masters of Horror’ episode is primal and fascinatingly transgressive, but the acting might be most horrifying.

Twitter Review: The House of the Devil

September 13, 2021April 7, 2010 by Culture Snob

Retro horror ‘House of the Devil’ is so patient and sublimely creepy that it’s easy to forgive its ultimate silliness. An assured throwback.

Twitter Review: Up in the Air

September 13, 2021April 3, 2010 by Culture Snob

The nimble, expert ‘Up in the Air’ only seems to endorse its protagonist’s self-satisfied nihilism, but it fails to deeply pierce his armor.

Twitter Review: The Informant!

September 13, 2021April 3, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘The Informant!’ imposes a screwball score and exclamation point on a story that’s absurd but rarely funny. Only Damon’s investment engages.

Twitter Review: The Invention of Lying

September 13, 2021March 16, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Invention of Lying’ has a simple, resonant premise but is made without rigor. Only intermittent ingenuity saves it from offensive laziness.
