2/5
Going in Style (2017) Daniel Gelb Perhaps required a handshake agreement with Warner Bros. that [Braff] would be barred from including a Shins song on the soundtrack.

CHIPS (2017) Violet LeVoit [Dax Shepard] needs to take on better characters than the ones he's written for himself.

3.5/5
Wilson (2017) Violet LeVoit Wilson is a bitter, infuriating, and utterly unsympathetic character in Daniel Clowes' original graphic novel, but at some point [screenwriter Clowes] found a way to turn Wilson's vinegar back into wine.

3.5/5
The Boss Baby (2017) Violet LeVoit The smug, petulant, manipulative, entitled, and easily enraged boss-from-hell Baby is the best part of this movie.

1.5/5
Saban's Power Rangers (2017) Daniel Gelb A hollow, two-hour blast of stifling backstory, product placement, and big-budget nonsense.

2.5/5
T2 Trainspotting (2017) Violet LeVoit At 20 [their] behavior is Rimbaud romantic; at 40 it's a nuisance. Why won't filmmakers shrug off their "sequel-itis" and just let their iconic characters live their destinies without us anymore?

Beauty and the Beast (2017) Violet LeVoit This Beauty and the Beast is no Cocteau twin . . .

Raw (2016) Daniel Gelb A nimbly crafted bit of subversive horror.

Rock Dog (2016) Violet LeVoit There's nothing offensive or repellent about this admittedly acceptable film for kids, [but] there's also nothing enthralling in it . . .

2.5/5
Before I Fall (2017) Daniel Gelb It's refreshing, at least, to see a YA film that doesn't feel the need to hide behind a postapocalyptic conceit.

The Great Wall (2016) Daniel Gelb It's hard not to be cynical about this film.

Fifty Shades Darker (2017) Violet LeVoit . . . a Harlequin paperback with NSFW accessories . . .

The Red Turtle (2016) Violet LeVoit ... a work of poignant and exquisitely understated storytelling.

Rings (2017) Daniel Gelb Gutiérrez and his team of writers tried to deepen the mythology of the Ring universe, but it's ultimately an exercise in futility.

Toni Erdmann (2016) Violet LeVoit .... a Teutonic Ferris Büeller...

3/5
The Founder (2016) Violet LeVoit At any moment, The Founder can be correctly read as a celebration of American corporate ambition, or as an equally passionate indictment of it.
Posted Jan 20, 2017  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Live by Night (2016) Daniel Gelb An overstuffed, paint-by-numbers gangster drama that does little to distinguish itself from the crowded mediocrity of its contemporaries.
Posted Jan 13, 2017  Edit critic review
1.5/5
The Bye Bye Man (2017) Daniel Gelb A sloppy, derivative collage of the worst studio-sanctioned genre trappings.

3.5/5
Monster Trucks (2016) Violet LeVoit "If all of this sounds as stupid as Snakes on a Plane, then the joke's on you, because Monster Trucks is actually great fun . . ."

4.5/5
A Monster Calls (2016) Violet LeVoit . . . equal parts The Iron Giant and Pan's Labyrinth . . .

4.5/5
20th Century Women (2016) Violet LeVoit There is not a single misstep in this poignant, true, and ingenious character drama, an extraordinary film that is one of 2016's best.

Underworld: Blood Wars (2016) Violet LeVoit I VANT to VATCH an-AH-ther FEELM.

3/5
Fences (2016) Daniel Gelb It's a testament to the movie's soaring performances that they are able to elicit interest and evoke strong emotions despite Fences' aesthetic deficiencies.

Paterson (2016) Daniel Gelb A beautiful little paean to the trivialities and triumphs of everyday life.

Assassin's Creed (2016) Violet LeVoit This is how a geek movie should be done.

1.5/5
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) Violet LeVoit ...an attempt to squeeze one more movie out of a used MacGuffin.
Posted Dec 16, 2016  Edit critic review
1/5
Collateral Beauty (2016) Daniel Gelb Director David Frankel and his dishonorable scribe Allan Loeb have crafted this interminable, manipulative weepie under the guise of doling out some greater truth or beauty.
Posted Dec 15, 2016  Edit critic review
2/5
Office Christmas Party (2016) Daniel Gelb The directors get so wrapped up in their underwritten characters and slipshod finale that you'll almost forget this is supposed to be a Christmas movie.
Posted Dec 09, 2016  Edit critic review
4/5
The Love Witch (2016) Violet LeVoit . . . unabashedly satisf[ies] female cravings for self-validity, glamour, and, yes, love.
Posted Dec 08, 2016  Edit critic review
2/5
Rules Don't Apply (2016) Violet LeVoit . . . a screwball romance whirling around [Howard Hughes'] decline . . . veers toward the jaw-droppingly tasteless territory of Jerry Lewis' Holocaust comedy The Day the Clown Cried.

4.5/5
Jackie (2016) Daniel Gelb Larraín pieces together the fabric of Jackie's character with striking command and unmistakable purpose.

1.5/5
Bad Santa 2 (2016) Daniel Gelb Plays out like a seventh-grader's mimicking of the original: chock-full of sex, booze, and four-letter insults, but stripped of any originality or subversive pluck.
Posted Nov 22, 2016  Edit critic review
4/5
Manchester by the Sea (2016) Violet LeVoit . . . a rare melodrama set in the world of men.
Posted Nov 18, 2016  Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Edge of Seventeen (2016) Daniel Gelb By not belittling the melancholies of adolescence, and staying away from the twee trappings of the genre, Kelly Fremon Craig's debut rings true with authenticity.
Posted Nov 17, 2016  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Arrival (2016) Daniel Gelb A strikingly human film, one that's concerned much more with the feebleness of language and the fragility of time than with its mysterious extraterrestrial visitors.

2.5/5
Hacksaw Ridge (2016) Daniel Gelb While [Gibson's] portrayal of Doss' heroism on the battlefield is moving and honorable, neither the tedious setup nor the ham-fisted delivery should get a free pass.
Posted Nov 02, 2016  Edit critic review
2/5
Tyler Perry's Boo! A Madea Halloween (2016) Violet LeVoit . . . some viewers will be more disturbed by the ghosts of Mantan Moreland . . . and so many others who shuffled through an entire grotesque cinematic "tradition" of black characters going bug-eyed and frantic after encountering ghosts.

Moonlight (2016) Daniel Gelb Jenkins' emotionally resonant and ambitious approach to filmmaking allows the picture to outshine its shortcomings.

Keeping Up With the Joneses (2016) Daniel Gelb Harmlessly funny, albeit immediately forgettable.

Kevin Hart: What Now? (2016) Daniel Gelb The gregarious Hart's presence is more than enough to fill the cavernous football stadium.

3/5
The Accountant (2016) Violet LeVoit It's fashionable to pile on Ben Affleck, an activity that has been film criticism's favorite all-season sport for more than two decades, but [here] he reminds us once again that he is a genuine talent.
Posted Oct 13, 2016  Edit critic review
4/5
Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life (2016) Violet LeVoit . . . a nectarous confection of anarchic wish fulfillment clothed in the trickster skin of an afterschool special.

4/5
American Honey (2016) Daniel Gelb Alive with the splendor of youth and the wandering sense of freedom that so many other road movies have tried and failed to harness.
Posted Sep 28, 2016  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Hands of Stone (2016) Violet LeVoit Writer/director Jonathan Jakubowicz threads a second, personal battle beneath Durn's flurry of punches . . This personal touch raises the lively athletic melodrama out of maudlin telenovela territory.
Posted Sep 26, 2016  Edit critic review
1.5/5
The Disappointments Room (2016) Daniel Gelb Caruso's completely unremarkable attempt at a psychological-horror flick is a mixed bag of clichs and loose ends.
Posted Sep 09, 2016  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Light Between Oceans (2016) Daniel Gelb Its depictions of searing guilt amount to little more than tight close-ups of teary-eyed actors.
Posted Sep 01, 2016  Edit critic review
4/5
Florence Foster Jenkins (2016) Violet LeVoit " . . . the triumph of director Stephen Frears' portrait of the performer, who sadly hit the wall of her own talent long before her passion ran dry, is that it never chooses . . . one pat answer to sum up the ultimate meaning of her career."

Sausage Party (2016) Daniel Gelb Unquestionably dumb and distasteful, but stakes its claim as the funniest film of the season.
Posted Aug 11, 2016  Edit critic review
1/5
Nine Lives (2016) Daniel Gelb Sadistic cinematic punishment. The folks at the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation have just been handed a masterpiece.

2/5
Nerve (2016) Daniel Gelb Eventually sunk by its cobbled-together premise and the filmmakers' inability to deliver an appropriate payoff.
