Wes Anderson imbues his film “The Phoenician Scheme” with all the familiar, artistic trappings of his idiosyncratic style, Dan Webster says.

“Bring Her Back” offers a new type of career entry for the British actress Sally Hawkins, Dan Webster says.

More than a simple blockbuster, “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” is a plea for theatrical relevance, Dan Webster says.

Comedies can be hard to review. Either you laugh or you don’t. Nathan Weinbender says you’ll either roar with laughter or sit stone-faced during “Friendship,” starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd.

The Seattle International Film Festival wraps this week, and Nathan Weinbender recaps some of the notable titles in this year’s lineup.

The intriguingly titled “On Becoming a Guinea Fowl” is an African woman’s cry for the social justice that she deserves, Dan Webster says.

“Eephus” is an ode to the rituals of baseball, and a strange comedy about male friendship. Nathan Weinbender says the low-budget ensemble film is one of the small jewels of the year.

Carson Lund’s film “Eephus” is an ode both to the game of baseball and the everyday players who can’t stop loving it, Dan Webster says.

"The Ballad of Wallis Island" is about a disgruntled musician, his former partner, and the superfan who brings them back together. Nathan Weinbender says it’s a charming little comedy, especially if you like a distinctly British brand of wit.

The film “Warfare” inserts us in an intense combat situation, even as it ignores the larger political implications, Dan Webster says.
