Deepwater Horizon (Summit Entertainment, PG-13)
It pays remarkable tribute to the victims and survivors without feeling exploitative.
Movie Reviews
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (20th Century Fox, PG-13)
This adaptation succeeds most of the time.
Queen of Katwe (Walt Disney Studios, PG)
There’s so much that Mira Nair got right in Queen of Katwe that it’s a shame it’s not a total success.
The Magnificent Seven (MGM/Columbia Pictures, PG-13)
It’s a good thing for Antoine Fuqua that films cannot sue for defamation.
Snowden (Open Road Films, R)
While getting the facts straight is important, it’s not enough to make a film work.
Our Little Sister (Sony Classics, PG)
Our Little Sister encompasses several virtues that you seldom find in mainstream American films.
The Hollars (Sony Pictures Classics, R)
It’s too bad the film doesn’t work better.
Sully (Warner Brothers, PG-13)
Sully is not a great film, but it’s an entertaining one that moves briskly.
The 9th Life of Louis Drax (Summit Premiere, R)
The movie is an uneasy blend of the straightforwardly naturalistic and the whimsically fantastic, a combination that probably worked better on the page than it does on the screen.
The Light Between Oceans (DreamWorks, PG-13)
The onscreen chemistry between Vikander and Fassbinder result in something that’s absolutely electric to witness.
