The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Publish Date: November 27, 2024
"It's been 25 years since the movie's last theatrical run, which means that just about eveyone is overdue for seeing this marvelous spectacle the way it was meant to be seen"

Austin Chronicle
The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024)

Publish Date: September 24, 2024
"The knockout performances make the 'The Rule of Jenny Pen' worth seeing, but there is not much more substance propping up this endeavor."

Austin Chronicle
The Greatest Hits (2023)

Publish Date: March 17, 2024
"Perhaps it's asking too much for a time-travel romance to conform to rules of logic, but 'The Greatest Hits' never strikes the right chord"

Austin Chronicle
The Uninvited (2024)

Publish Date: March 11, 2024
"Conner’s dialog and images are succinct and well-crafted, and enough good things cannot be said of this spectacular cast who bring their characters to life with precision and intriguing fascination"

Austin Chronicle
We Were Dangerous (2024)

Publish Date: March 8, 2024
"Lovely performances by the actresses make 'We Were Dangerous' an engaging proposition despite its thunderous musical cues and shifting perspective"

Austin Chronicle
Joy Ride (2023)

Publish Date: March 19, 2023
"'Joy Ride' slides comfortably into the tradition of hard-R road-trip movies while also demonstrating that American culture still has many areas to open up in terms of representation"

Austin Chronicle
Infinity Pool (2023)

Publish Date: January 25, 2023
"Even if this is a film that does not always make perfect sense, 'Infinity Pool' is a film that does not shrink from its transgressions (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of 5)"

Austin Chronicle
Empire of Light (2022)

Publish Date: December 8, 2022
"Despite these narrative pitfalls, it has much to recommend it. Olivia Colman can do just about anything, and Toby Jones is perfect as the theatre’s projectionist (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Austin Chronicle
The Fabelmans (2022)

Publish Date: November 24, 2022
"A self-indulgent yet delightful origin story (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of 5)"

Austin Chronicle
Bones and All (2022)

Publish Date: November 17, 2022
"Dark and bloody, definitely; but also, at times, sweet and hopeful (...) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Austin Chronicle
TÁR (2022)

Publish Date: October 20, 2022
"As masterful as the character it portrays, 'TÁR' is a textured, finely calibrated, stunningly composed, and thoroughly contemporary study (...) Rating: ****1/2 (out of 5)"

Austin Chronicle
Triangle of Sadness (2022)

Publish Date: October 13, 2022
"Instead of skipping lightly over rough seas, 'Triangle of Sadness' bobs to shore like a floating sarcophagus (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of 5)"

Austin Chronicle
Carmen (2022)

Publish Date: September 22, 2022
"Buhagiar emphasizes the character’s transformative path rather than her pitiable starting point, and with some suspension of disbelief (...) she comes into her own (...) that rewards the viewer (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of 5)"

Austin Chronicle
The Silent Twins (2022)

Publish Date: September 14, 2022
"The twins' compelling story is one that touches on artistic impulses, racial division, female identity, idiopathic psychology, the inadequacies of our educational and psychiatric institutions, and so much more (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Austin Chronicle
Infinite Storm (2022)

Publish Date: March 23, 2022
"The imagery is stupendous, but the dialogue and plot by actor-turned-screenwriter Joshua Rollins are a bit too minimal. 'Infinite Storm' always shows the perils we face but never explains them (…) Rating: **½ (out of 5)"

Austin Chronicle
I Love My Dad (2022)

Publish Date: March 15, 2022
"The premise is so icky that the film's writer, director, and co-star James Morosini lets viewers know at the very outset that its plot is based on a true story, thus automatically rendering it more palatable"

Austin Chronicle
The Worst Person in the World (2021)

Publish Date: February 16, 2022
"In the end, we learn enough about Julie to see that she is much like us, yet never enough to be fully known. Life will always be a relentless process of becoming (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"

Austin Chronicle
Our Time Machine (2019)

Publish Date: September 10, 2020
"Maleonn somehow finds an anchor of optimism amidst the situation, despite his father’s steady memory decline. That, too, is part of this film’s gift (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

Austin Chronicle
High Fidelity (2000)

Publish Date: March 16, 2020
"A smart, funny and youth-savvy relationship film (...) . The direction by Stephen Frears is solid though unshowy, allowing the focus of the movie to reside in its wonderful characters and atmosphere."

The Hollywood Reporter
The Chaperone (2018)

Publish Date: April 10, 2019
"Because [the film's] second fiddle doesn't soak up the spotlight as readily as its star, the film leaves the viewer with an unsatisfied longing for more Brooks (…) Rating: **½ (out of 5)"
