Grandma (2015)

Publish Date: August 19, 2015
"It more closely resembles Nebraska or About Schmidt, in which a crotchety elder road-trips to self-examination.(...) Weitz knows his muse. But he's smartly made room for Tomlin to explore her own wisdom"

Time
The Counselor (2013)

Publish Date: October 23, 2013
"Emotionally vacant film (...) Plays like a parody of a Cormac McCarthy adaptation...It's derivative nonsense."

Time
Wreck-It Ralph (2012)

Publish Date: October 31, 2012
"The most inventive and entertaining family movie I’ve seen this year, packed with wickedly smart humor and joyful animation"

Time
Trust (2010)

Publish Date: March 30, 2011
"David Schwimmer's grim story of Internet-based pedophilia is hard to watch but impossible to ignore. (...) Liberato (...) is flat-out terrific."

Time
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011)

"Child star Thomas Horn is so good, Stephen Daldry's weepfest nearly overcomes its Unbearable Cuteness. (...) Horn breaks through the movie's manipulative scrim simply through the sheer force of his emotions."

Time
Bernie (2011)

"Instead of exploring something bigger, like the origins of Bernie's need for the company of elderly ladies (...), Linklater limits the story and mood to black comedy"

Time
Quartet (2012)

"Terribly cloying and cutesy"

Time
Warm Bodies (2013)

"It’s an inventive charmer that visits all the typical movie scenarios of young love amid chaos and disaster, but with a new dimension: one of the romantic leads is a zombie"

Time
Room 237 (2012)

"Maybe they’re all right. Or wrong. It can’t be settled. What matters is that people are still crazy about the beauty of a beautiful movie about going crazy"
