Fading Gigolo (2013) 54% EDIT “Fading Gigolo, John Turturro's fifth directorial effort, is a wonderful film.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Noah (2014) 75% EDIT “Really, Noah works so well because it is such a personal take on this biblical story.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Divergent (2014) 41% EDIT “[Divergent] is faithful enough to the book -- but doesn't work well unto itself.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Hateship Loveship (2013) 52% EDIT “The film Hateship Loveship is a study in earnestness. To some degree that is a function of our times.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review God's Pocket (2014) 36% EDIT “So long as Slattery trains his lens on the bars and back rooms of this salty-dog slum, this film is great fun, if an acquired taste.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Palo Alto (2013) 70% EDIT “The real headline is Coppola herself, though. I may not love Palo Alto but its substance and style are singular enough that I am keen to see what she does next.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Maleficent (2014) 54% EDIT “As Maleficent dawdles along, it not only veers from Disney's traditional values but also - alas, alack - from the studio's recent foray into girl power.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review The Fault in Our Stars (2014) 81% EDIT “It's safe to declare the adaptation of the popular young adult novel a wild success.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Snowpiercer (2013) 94% EDIT “Snowpiercer is a fantastic dumb movie for smart people.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Venus in Fur (2013) 88% EDIT “The ideological messages may continue to shift beneath our feet long after we leave the theater but the solidity of the impact of Venus in Fur will be what sticks.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review The Congress (2013) 71% EDIT “In these hyper-dissociative times, [The Congress] may be just what the doctor ordered.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger (2014) 83% EDIT “For those interested in crime procedurals, Whitey offers a compelling - and admirably comprehensive - look at the fraught dynamics within and between federal agencies.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Life Itself (2014) 98% EDIT “This is an extraordinary biopic not just because it is about an extraordinary life but because it advocates living - and dying - with candor and grace.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Mood Indigo (2013) 62% EDIT “These surfaces, however splendid, are just surfaces, and we fuse no emotional connection to these characters or this story, not even as an allegory.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review If I Stay (2014) 36% EDIT “For long stretches, [If I Stay] seems like a TV pilot for a WB show that, rightfully, did not get picked up.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Magic in the Moonlight (2014) 52% EDIT “Even ignoring the elephant on the screen that is male privilege, the ever-widening age gap between men and their female costars makes for less interesting films.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review The Giver (2014) 34% EDIT “This movie adaption does not live up to the book.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Love Is Strange (2014) 93% EDIT “Love Is Strange is an extraordinary achievement in the purest sense of the word extraordinary, for it transcends the ordinary by luxuriating in it with wonderfully oddball rhythms.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review The Notebook (2013) 66% EDIT “Notebook frames the evil revealed by the region's Nazi Occupation as the most treacherous of fairy tales: one that realizes our childhood fear that there really are no trustworthy grownups.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review The Two Faces of January (2014) 80% EDIT “Still, there's no shortage of visual pleasures to distract us from the existential boredom of a sinking ship.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review Wetlands (2013) 91% EDIT “This story is entirely Helen's, and there has never been a character like her in the history of film or literature.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review The Drop (2014) 88% EDIT “Happily, The Drop packs an emotional wallop.” – Signature Aug 4, 2017 Full Review This Is Where I Leave You (2014) 45% EDIT “Somewhere in its two hours, This Is Where I Leave You morphs into the well-considered, emotionally resonant fare that we should still expect from our multiplexes.” – Signature Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Tracks (2013) 83% EDIT “Tracks is an invitation rarely proffered by a modern film: one that asks us to consider what we really need.” – Signature Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Hiroshima, Mon Amour (1959) 96% EDIT “Gorgeous and yearning, Hiroshima Mon Amour offers a still-modern thesis: Memory, like love, is a commodity that no one fully possesses.” – Signature Aug 3, 2017 Full Review
