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: An Education

Lone Scherfig’s film is a vivacious, boldly elemental adaptation of journalist Lynn Barber’s unsparing memoir of her formative years.

Review: Elegy

Isabel Coixet tosses off her adaptation of Philip Roth’s novella The Dying Animal with an elegant, bemused fascination.

Review: Rendition

The film histrionically explores how government policy and our involvement in the Middle East affects people in America on a personal level.
