Movie Reviews

Usually, I either like or dislike a movie, but with Beautiful Minds, I kept going back and forth, finding it alternately charming and cloying.

It’s an ambitious movie, told mainly through two long scenes, the party and investigation, and it won Alexandru Belc the directing prize in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival.

The title of the film really ought to be Is Valeria Getting Married? because Christina knows that this kind of mail-order partnership is not a done deal.

While the movie is often predictable, it is nevertheless enjoyable, and belongs squarely in the ever-growing genre of movies about middle-aged women making a major life transformation.

"More Than I Deserve" tells an intersecting story of two communities in Israel, new immigrants from the former Soviet Union and the ultra-Orthodox

James Gray’s Armageddon Time will be like taking a journey in a time machine that will transport you back to New York in the 1980s.
