Noah Baumbach’s Netflix-financed comedy-drama is exactly what you expect from a Noah Baumbach film. This time around, the heir to Woody Allen has two aces up his sleeve: Dustin Hoffman giving his very best performance in decades and Adam Sandler in “Punch Drunk Love” (2002) mode. Harold Meyerowitz (Hoffman) hasn’t been the best father to his brood....
Léa Mysius cropped up twice this year at Cannes. She co-wrote the festival’s opening film (Arnaud Desplechin’s maddening “Ismael’s Ghosts”), and presented her directorial debut “Ava.” Thirteen-year-old Ava (Noée Abita) is enjoying summer vacation by the sea, when is told by her doctor that she will lose her eyesight (and very soon). Her reaction to...
Cannes is the most exciting and important film festival on the planet because at its very best a critic can make a real discovery. Step forward, Laetitia Dosch. The French actress dominates “Jeune Femme” in what should be a star-making performance. Léonor Serraille’s debut film screened in Cannes’ second-tier of programming, the Un Certain Regard. ...
Michel Franco’s films are hugely indebted to the cinema of Michael Haneke. As with 2015’s Cannes competition entry “Chronic,” Franco’s latest is another portrayal of a person who is very creepy and acts strangely. Franco’s casting of Spanish leading lady, Emma Suarez, is a smart move. April begins as a concerned but controlling mother, visiting her...
Bong Joon-Ho’s animal rights drama is “Pete’s Dragon” (1977) meets Georges Franju’s abattoir horror short “Blood of the Beasts” (1949). The lauded South Korean director’s second film in the English language and featuring an international cast of major actors (Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano and Lily Collins) is a timely message-movie aski...
Robert Pattinson delivered the performance of his career to date, in the Safdie brothers’ “Good Time.” Since leaving the world of “Twilight” behind, the British actor has crafted a career which has taken risks, gambles and chances. Many of them have paid off. In “Good Time” Pattinson plays Constantine Nikas, a bank robber out to save his disabled b...
Sofia Coppola’s remake of Clint Eastwood cult classic, “The Beguiled,” is a corrective on some of the original’s messy politics. Starring Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning and Kirsten Dunst, the level of humor injected into proceedings is surprising, but it works a treat, turning the film into a sort-of black comedy. Wounded Yankee soldier John McBurney ...
Andrey Zvyagintsev is Russia’s greatest living filmmaker. “Loveless” was awarded the Jury prize this year (2014’s “Leviathan” won the Screenplay award at Cannes) and it continued the director’s bleak examinations of life in 21st century Russia— an age defined by the prime ministerial and presidential periods of Vladimir Putin. In “Loveless” a young...
The cinema of Yorgos Lanthimos is cruel but curiously logical. What do I mean? While characters often act bizarrely and the stories can be wildly absurd, there’s inherent logic to the weirdness. In “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” Dr. Steven Murphy (Colin Farrell) is forced to own up to a past mistake and make amends. Maybe it’s Lanthimos being Gree...
Lynne Ramsay was robbed of this year’s Palme d’Or (Ruben Östlund’s “The Square” won), but she did pick up the Screenplay prize (sharing with “The Killing of a Sacred Deer”). Star Joaquin Phoenix won Best Actor for his portrayal of a hitman with post-traumatic stress disorder. A stunning mix of arthouse cinema aesthetics and genre storytelling, “You...
