“Step aside, LBJ, your time in the spotlight is done.”
“‘Zama’ is the kind of historical film that refuses to concede even the smallest positivity to the history in question.”
“The brooding ominousness Van Maele plays with throughout seems to run through many of this year’s European offerings.”
“‘Downsizing’ thinks it has big ideas, but artistically and intellectually, it’s as small as its protagonists.”
“In ‘Happy End,’ writer/director Michael Haneke coalesces several of his recurring fixations.”
“There’s an odd fraternity in their grease rubdowns and muscle worship.”
