By Jeff Simon (157) for Buffalo News (278) on 19 Apr 2017

Review of The Sense of an Ending (2017)

By Jeff Simon (157) for Buffalo News (278) on 16 Mar 2017

Review of Julieta (2016)

By Jeff Simon (157) for Buffalo News (278) on 09 Mar 2017

This is nothing if not an odd movie to encourage people to see. It's a graft of artistic forms, one atop another, that doesn't really take…

Review of A United Kingdom (2016)

By Jeff Simon (157) for Buffalo News (278) on 02 Mar 2017

In profile, A United Kingdom couldn't look more charismatic. When you come a little closer? Not so much. It's not the actors' fault…

Review of A Dog's Purpose (2017)

By Jeff Simon (157) for Buffalo News (278) on 26 Jan 2017

Let me confess that as ridiculously manipulative and sentimental a family movie as A Dog's Purpose is, I'm a bit of a sucker for movies like it…

Review of 20th Century Women (2016)

By Jeff Simon (157) for Buffalo News (278) on 20 Jan 2017

20th Century Women isn't overtly that funny, but it's nicely witty and droll enough to bring forth happy laughs and chortles anyway…

Review of Elle (2016)

By Jeff Simon (157) for Buffalo News (278) on 12 Jan 2017
