Movie Reviews

Dan Webster and Nathan Weinbender give short movie reviews.

  • EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, a documentary playing on regular and IMAX screens around the country, is director Baz Luhrmann’s second film about the King. Nathan Weinbender says it’s a freewheeling testament to Elvis’s enduring power as a performer.

    Everyone already has a strong opinion about Emerald Fennell’s maximalist retelling of “Wuthering Heights.” Nathan Weinbender is no exception: He says the movie is dramatically murky, emotionally inert and generally unbearable.
  • Movie Reviews
    No matter what your stand is on the war in Gaza, Oscar-nominated “The Voice of Hind Rajab” is likely to break your heart, Dan Webster says.
  • Movie Reviews
    “The Plague” is a study of middle-school angst that relies on its similarity to William Golding’s novel “Lord of the Flies,” Dan Webster says.
  • Movie Reviews
    “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” is as strange and unwieldy as its title. Nathan Weinbender says the new time-travel satire from Gore Verbinski is equal parts inventive and undisciplined.
  • Movie Reviews
    “Send Help” is a bloody survivalist thriller from “Evil Dead” and “Spider-Man” director Sam Raimi. Nathan Weinbender says Rachel McAdams’s central performance is more ferocious than the movie itself.
  • Movie Reviews
    “A Private Life” is a French attempt to capture the same kind of energy that “The Thin Man” did more than 90 years ago, Dan Webster says.
  • Movie Reviews
    “Is This Thing On?” is, uniquely enough, an upbeat yet emotionally truthful movie about divorce, Dan Webster says.
  • Movie Reviews
    The fourth film in the long-running horror series, “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” is a crazed, bloody apocalyptic nightmare directed by Nia DaCosta. Nathan Weinbender says it’s one of the standouts of the franchise.
  • Movie Reviews
    “The Choral” is a tender look at how one English village struggles to cope with the ravages caused by World War I, Dan Webster says.
