Review of Past Lives (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 Jun 2023

Review of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 31 May 2023

Review of The Little Mermaid (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 May 2023

Review of It Ain't Over (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 19 May 2023

The movie itself is more of a square than a circle — straightforward and honorific, peppered with old and newer archival footage…

Review of Master Gardener (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 19 May 2023

Even when it falters, Master Gardener speaks from a place the filmmaker has always worked, with one foot in the character-building of…

Review of Fast X (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 May 2023

My affection for a lot of the earlier F&F movies has everything to do with the people on the screen, and the squealing of the tires…

Review of The Mother (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 May 2023

The second half of The Mother settles for the usual…

Review of BlackBerry (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 May 2023

BlackBerry doesn’t sermonize or push the comedy or falsify the dramatic dynamics of wildly contrasting personalities…

Review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 May 2023

The full-on assault on the audience’s tear ducts in much of “Guardians 3″ may be sincere, but the rhythms and pacing of the film…

Review of STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 May 2023

Fox’s resolve, his ever-sharp wit and acuity, more than mitigates what’s not entirely useful in Guggenheim’s filmmaking approach…

Review of Peter Pan & Wendy (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 Apr 2023

The director and co-writer David Lowery has made nothing but interesting features, six so far, and while his latest (co-written by Toby…

Review of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Apr 2023

This book deserved a really good film version, and writer-director Kelly Fremon Craig (”The Edge of Seventeen,” also really good)…

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Apr 2023

Phoenix acts his ass off, often entertainingly, and from the hoariest of ancient dark-comic tactics, Aster pulls off the occasional little…

Review of Showing Up (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Apr 2023

The movie has a tiny motor of a narrative, but it’s just enough…

Review of Renfield (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Apr 2023

Mainly, Cage keeps finding the damnedest ways to topspin his line readings so that you never know where a sentence is going…

Review of Air (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Apr 2023

Air is a good time, as well as a triumph of sports marketing in every conceivable way…
