Twitter Review: Stay

September 13, 2021November 29, 2010 by Culture Snob

2005’s ‘Stay’ is too aggressively off, fostering sensitivity to its head game rather than engagement in the story. Gosling holds it together

Twitter Review: The Square

September 13, 2021October 6, 2010 by Culture Snob

Aussie crime thriller ‘The Square’ is poised to explore guilt in a handful of characters but instead becomes a ridiculous, contrived tragedy

Twitter Review: Let Me in

September 13, 2021October 1, 2010 by Culture Snob

Against its Swede forebear, ‘Let Me In’ accumulates minor changes that make it too insistent. Fidelity is a pleasant surprise but not enough

Twitter Review: F for Fake

September 13, 2021August 4, 2010 by Culture Snob

Dizzyingly fragmented, Welles’ ‘F for Fake’ builds layers of credible story exploring authenticity. ‘This is true, you know.’ No, you don’t.

Twitter Review: Watchmen

September 13, 2021July 8, 2010 by Culture Snob

I found Snyder’s ‘Watchmen’ merely highly competent (and far too fetishistic), but given that the comic was ‘unfilmable,’ he did damned good

Twitter Review: [Rec]

September 13, 2021July 7, 2010 by Culture Snob

Unlike most monster movies, ‘[Rec]’ builds horror along with chaos. Near the end, it tells when it should hint, but it’s invisibly skillful.

Twitter Review: Treme Season 1

September 15, 2021June 24, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Treme’ S1 starts slowly, has some tedious characters, and is too proudly authentic, but Simon’s team remains expert at resonant microcosms.

Twitter Review: Adoration

September 13, 2021June 21, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Adoration’ is a dispiriting Egoyan misfire, a too-blunt but intriguingly indirect meditation on terrorism that then excavates dull motives.

Twitter Review: Justified Season 1

September 13, 2021June 10, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Justified’ S1: Sly performances, character ambiguity, sharply natural dialogue, and propulsive violence elevate this backwoods pulp fiction

Twitter Review: The Messenger

September 13, 2021June 8, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘The Messenger’ is unerring on its own dramatic terms but misses an opportunity by offering character over punishing war-death notifications
