Review: Chef

Jon Favreau’s film comes off as flippant in its view of independent labor as a universally liberating experience for an artist and businessman.

Review: Lovelace

Lost in the music, mustaches, and furniture of the early ’70s, this docudrama of a porn star’s exploitation isn’t nearly painful enough.

Review: Blue Jasmine

Whether intentional or not, the lives of the secondary characters are underdeveloped, often siphoned away by Jasmine’s all-encompassing presence.

Review: Roadie

Like so much of Roadie, the main character’s emotional circumstances are obvious and uncomplicated.

Review: Win Win

The film just barely balances its everyone-learns-something uplift with ragged emotional dynamics and unexpected humor.

Review: Cupid

Rarely do the gods of network television grant second chances, but ABC’s heart seemed somewhat struck by its 1998 series Cupid.

Review: The Ten

David Wain and Ken Marino’s The Ten is as tonally divergent as possible from Krzysztof Kieślowski’s The Dekalog.
