Review of Pelle the Conqueror (1987)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 27 Feb 2017

Pelle itself, rather surprisingly, is a natural, organic epic, and one that opens a window on a meticulously detailed bygone world that, by…

Review of The Way of the Gun (2000)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Mr. Showbiz (475) on 02 Feb 2017

An empty, affected exercise, executed with just enough style to make you wish McQuarrie had a motive beyond his own career…

Review of Stolen (2006)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 Jan 2017

Despite the soft-spoken Smith, a type-A British liaison self-named the Turbocharger, and the apparent involvement of the IRA, the doc…

Review of House of Flying Daggers (2004)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 Jan 2017

If only this epic had enough substantial melodramatic hooks to hang this woman's beauty on; emotional traction is most often buried under…

Review of Toni Erdmann (2016)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for In These Times (58) on 29 Dec 2016

Movies this inventively generous and organically unpredictable should be, in a proper world, produced dozens of times a year, as a matter of routine…

Review of Signs & Wonders (2001)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Dec 2016

Pretension looms, and for many the web of symbolism will be too thick. But Rampling, to her credit, helps hold the nuthouse together…

Review of Neruda (2016)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for In These Times (58) on 19 Dec 2016

The past is hardly past: Neruda is a vintage ﬁgure, but his story is made fresh by both the ﬁlmmakers' imaginative will and by the…

Review of Joe the King (1999)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Mr. Showbiz (475) on 05 Dec 2016

Rarely falters but neither does it ever take flight…

Review of Tortilla Soup (2001)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Mr. Showbiz (475) on 26 Oct 2016

It is, however, Tortilla Soup's cultural transposition that feels most phony…

Review of An American Rhapsody (2001)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Sep 2016

Gardos, an experienced film editor, has little narrative sense, and decent performances (except from Kinski, who just worries and huffs…

Review of I Am Not a Serial Killer (2016)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 23 Aug 2016

It's not a riot, though the Midwest textures are sharp (especially for an Irish filmmaker in an entirely Irish production), and the idea of…

Review of Kate Plays Christine (2016)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Aug 2016

Kate Plays Christine is a documentary, but often a totally fake one, cheekily defining itself as its own making-of DVD supplement and…

Review of Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World (2016)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for In These Times (58) on 09 Aug 2016

[Herzog's] new film, Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World, is a new order of business, an awed tour of human life shaped by the…

Review of Les Cowboys (2015)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for In These Times (58) on 28 Jun 2016

The terrain traversed by Thomas Bidegain's Les Cowboys is so familiar in European movies it could be cliché by now…

Review of Baran (2001)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 24 Jun 2016

Remains simplistic and gimmicky in the context of Iranian cinema…

Review of Stigmata (1999)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 23 Jun 2016

Despite exposition delivered so redundantly and witlessly you think you're in a Kaplan class, Stigmata manages to be incoherent…

Review of Ride with the Devil (1999)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Mr. Showbiz (475) on 15 Jun 2016

Though Lee's movie is dripping with action and beautiful details, it's aimless and, eventually, tedious…

Review of Me, Myself & Irene (2000)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Mr. Showbiz (475) on 11 Jun 2016

Carrey gives an awesome comic performance.. Look out for huge amounts of deliberately disgusting, gross-out humor, though…

Review of Call Her Applebroog (2016)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Jun 2016

The film is a vehicle for Applebroog-appreciation, daughterly and otherwise…

Review of The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 05 May 2016

Derrickson's flick can sour your stomach with piety, which is a shame -- its moments of jolt wattage rate with many J-horrors…
