Movie Reviews

Dan Webster and Nathan Weinbender give short movie reviews.

  • Movie Reviews
    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.
  • Movie Reviews
    "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.
  • Movie Reviews
    The film “Warfare” inserts us in an intense combat situation, even as it ignores the larger political implications, Dan Webster says.
  • Movie Reviews
    The third season of the MAX series “The White Lotus” builds toward a disappointing finale, Dan Webster says.
  • Movie Reviews
    With an all-star cast and a buzzy premise, “Death of a Unicorn” blends fantasy, comedy and horror. Unfortunately, Nathan Weinbender says, it’s one of the biggest letdowns of the year so far.
  • Movie Reviews
    Set during an incendiary time, “The Penguin Lessons” fails to rise above its protagonist’s self-involvement, Dan Webster says.
  • Movie Reviews
    In directing “CHAOS: The Manson Murders,” documentary filmmaker Errol Morris tries to ferret out a conspiracy, Dan Webster says.
  • Movie Reviews
    Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett star in the espionage thriller “Black Bag,” Steven Soderbergh’s second feature of 2025. Nathan Weinbender says it’s an entertaining genre exercise and a surprising domestic comedy about work-life balance.
  • Movie Reviews
    “Mickey 17” is Bong Joon-ho’s first film since “Parasite,” starring Robert Pattinson as an ill-fated worker on a ship headed to a new planet. Nathan Weinbender says the movie is broken up into halves, one much more compelling than the other.
  • Movie Reviews
    “Universal Language” is a true sleeper, a Canadian comedy that imagines a version of Winnipeg that has an Iranian cultural influence. The movie is opening at the Magic Lantern, and Nathan Weinbender says you should give it a shot.
