SOMM: Into the Bottle (2015) 3/4 EDIT “We may never get the chance to taste a 1969 Hermitage, but watching Wise's film may be the next best thing.” – Miami Herald Sep 7, 2016 Full Review Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (2016) 57% 2.5/4 EDIT “Revisiting Edina and Patsy wasn't a bad idea - especially not since there's even more celebrity nonsense to poke fun at these days - but another short TV season might have been a better format.” – Miami Herald Jun 29, 2016 Full Review Maggie's Plan (2015) 86% 2.5/4 EDIT “Gerwig and Hawke are outstanding reasons to see this movie, but your patience - just like Maggie's - will be tested before it's over.” – Miami Herald Jun 8, 2016 Full Review Me Before You (2016) 55% 3/4 EDIT “Me Before You is a juicy, ripe red apple of a romance with a razor blade embedded under its skin.” – Miami Herald May 31, 2016 Full Review Love & Friendship (2016) 96% 3/4 EDIT “The love part of Love & Friendship is played for laughs; love in this era among such people is a business arrangement, not a romantic match.” – Miami Herald May 26, 2016 Full Review The Meddler (2015) 85% 3/4 EDIT “The beauty of The Meddler is in its insistence that grief passes - even if you can't buy your way to happiness.” – Miami Herald May 12, 2016 Full Review Sing Street (2016) 95% 3/4 EDIT “Sing Street feels personal, as well as universal, and it captures the warring factions of youthful euphoria and despair.” – Miami Herald Apr 28, 2016 Full Review I Saw the Light (2015) 19% 2/4 EDIT “The movie falls victim to the usual biopic malaise: It doesn't have anything interesting to say about a life that was far from ordinary.” – Miami Herald Mar 31, 2016 Full Review The Divergent Series: Allegiant (2016) 11% 2/4 EDIT “The film moves jerkily, in fits and starts, squandering its promising setup and bogging down in explanation.” – Miami Herald Mar 17, 2016 Full Review Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016) 68% 2.5/4 EDIT “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is entertaining sometimes, but if you're looking for any real insight, you're looking in the wrong place.” – Miami Herald Mar 3, 2016 Full Review Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016) 47% 1.5/4 EDIT “The skirmishes and eventual full-blown battle is garden-variety PG-13 violence - clanking swords and grunting - so the action won't past muster for a generation weaned on The Walking Dead.” – Miami Herald Feb 4, 2016 Full Review Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) 81% 2.5/4 EDIT “There's plenty to like here, but the movie focuses on the least interesting person on the screen, a curious choice considering we're talking life and death.” – Miami Herald Dec 31, 2015 Full Review Concussion (2015) 58% 3/4 EDIT “The NFL is a moneymaking monster, America's game. What Concussion effectively asks us to consider is this: How many ruined lives will it take to make a change?” – Miami Herald Dec 24, 2015 Full Review Joy (2015) 61% 2.5/4 EDIT “Russell draws his characters as broadly as those soap opera stick figures he's so eager to mock, and though Joy at least tries to break the standard biopic formula, it's only partially successful at reconstructing an interesting life.” – Miami Herald Dec 23, 2015 Full Review Brooklyn (2015) 97% 4/4 EDIT “With compassion, a touch of melancholy and a sense of wonder, Brooklyn reveals the profound truths in a simple, familiar story, ending on a note that's achingly bittersweet, no matter where you're from.” – Miami Herald Nov 24, 2015 Full Review Suffragette (2015) 73% 3/4 EDIT “Suffragette occasionally turns hard truths into platitudes. But the story is inspiring, buoyed by a fine cast, a pointed, important examination of the price paid for a shot at equality.” – Miami Herald Nov 5, 2015 Full Review Room (2015) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “Room isn't merely a thriller; like our lives, it winds onward past immediate trauma, because Donoghue knows that freedom is only half the battle.” – Miami Herald Oct 29, 2015 Full Review Mistress America (2015) 82% 3.5/4 EDIT “Mistress America isn't a deep psychological examination of women's friendships. First and foremost, it's a comedy, and it's simply hilarious.” – Miami Herald Sep 3, 2015 Full Review A Walk in the Woods (2015) 46% 2/4 EDIT “Too much of the breezy humor that made the book a delight is stripped away, replaced with predictable jokes and broad slapstick, sitcom-quality encounters with women and bears and a pushy, grating sentimentality.” – Miami Herald Sep 3, 2015 Full Review Testament of Youth (2014) 84% 3/4 EDIT “Testament of Youth isn't a typical biopic; it's a heartfelt manual on forging ahead.” – Miami Herald Jul 2, 2015 Full Review Magic Mike XXL (2015) 66% 2/4 EDIT “When you use "XXL" in the title of a movie about male strippers, certain promises are made. But if Magic Mike XXL is bulging with anything, it's inane conversation.” – Miami Herald Jun 30, 2015 Full Review Far From the Madding Crowd (2015) 85% 3/4 EDIT “A thoughtful literary adaptation that lives up to expectations, Far From the Madding Crowd breathes exciting new life into a classic story.” – Miami Herald May 8, 2015 Full Review The Longest Ride (2015) 31% 1.5/4 EDIT “Merely adding an older generation of lovers to a love story does not make your romance one for the ages.” – Miami Herald Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Effie Gray (2014) 43% 2/4 EDIT “This period piece, directed by Richard Laxton, is shot in such a grim and grainy fashion you long to turn on the lights - which is fitting, because you also wish the filmmakers had illuminated the characters a bit more clearly.” – Miami Herald Apr 2, 2015 Full Review The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015) 29% 2/4 EDIT “Even if you're curious about it, the movie is often plodding and frequently nonsensical, with action that never feels novel or exciting.” – Miami Herald Mar 19, 2015 Full Review
