RogerEbert Headlines
"A Separation" (PG-13, 123 minutes). A happily married middle-class couple in Tehran, have a sweet 11-year-old daughter Termeh, and his senile father also lives with them. They have agreed in principle to move abroad, where they hope their daughter's prospects might be better. She wants to lave now; he wants to stay because of his father. A wonderfully written and acted, very human story, then ends in a courtroom. I decent characters are all trying to do the right thing. To untangle right and wrong in this fascinating story is a moral challenge. The best film of 2011. Four starsRogerEbert Headlines
"The Grey" (R, 117 minutes). An unrelenting demonstration that wolves have no opinion. When they attack, it's not personal. Stranded in the far north after a plane crash, a small group of oil company workers try to walk to safety, and are tracked by a large group of ravenous wolves. Liam Neeson plays a wolf hunter who takes charge. This movie is not merely effective. The way I felt in my gut, it was all too effective. Three and a half starsRogerEbert Headlines
“We Need to Talk About Kevin" (R, 111 minutes). Tilda Swinton in a raw and courageous performance as a woman whose psychopathic son has driven her over the edge. Kevin (Ezra Miller and Jasper Newell) hates her and knows exactly what buttons to push. Her husband (John C. Reilly) is benign to the point of cluelessness. She is the wrong person in the wrong life with the wrong child. Directed by Lynne Ramsay. Four starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Albert Nobbs" (R, 113 minutes). Such a sad, sad story. Glenn Close stars in one of her best performances, as a women living as a man in order to keep a job as a butler and waiter in a Dublin hotel. This is not a life choice he is suited for. She isn't a lesbian and indeed seems to possess no sexuality. She lives in constant dread of being discovered. The film's breath of life comes from "Hubert Page" (Janet McTeer), a rough-and-ready house painter, who briefly shows Albert her own happy life as a woman passing for a man. But there will be little happiness in life for Albert; she can't imagine it. Three starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Tomboy" (Unrated, 82 minutes). A tender, delicate film about Laure, 10 years old, who in a new neighborhood is mistaken for a boy and goes along with it. The film would have been impossible without the casting of Zoé Heran in the title role. She isn't a masculine-looking girl or a feminine-looking boy. She's fresh, attractive, open-faced. If you think you're looking at a boy, you see one. If a girl, then that's what you see. It's an interesting summer, in a film that sidesteps exploitation or tragedy, and is simply one of those chapters in life. Three and a half starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Man on a Ledge" (PG-13, 102 minutes) Sam Worthington stars as an ex-cop who escapes from prison, climbs onto the 21st floor ledge outside a hotel room, draws a big crowd, and acts as a distraction while a diamond heist takes place across the street. Just a shade implausible, eh? Two starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Amador" (Unrated, 112 minutes). Marcela Magaly Solier, a poor woman in Madrid, takes a job as the daytime companion of Amador (Celso Bugallo), an old man who spends his remaining days working on jigsaw puzzles. Gradually, quietly, they share some truths about life. Here is a lovely idea for a film, sidetracked by a central performance that is too maddeningly passive; there are too many overlong shots of Solier's warm face as she takes too long to arrive at fairly obvious conclusions. Written and directed by Fernando León de Aranoa. Two starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Haywire" (R, 92 minutes). Gina Carano, a retired mixed martial arts fighter with amazing physical agility, stars as the employee of a shadowy "special contractor" that performs black ops for hire. Assigned to free a Chinese hostage in Barcelona, she finds herself at the center of a web is deceit, in a tale of betrayal so-starring Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Bill Paxton, Channing Tatum, Antonio Banderas and Michael Douglas. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, it makes no apology for being a well-crafted genre thriller. Three starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Pina" (Unrated, 13 minutes). A 3D performance film by Wim Wenders, based on the work of the much-loved German choreographer Pina Bausch, who died shortly before filming began. I watched the film in a sort of reverie state. The dancers seemed particularly absorbed. They had performed these dances many times before, but always with Pina Bausch present. Now they were on their own, in homage. Three and a half starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Red Tails" (PG-13, 125 minutes). An air action movie inspired by the Tuskegee Airmen, the famed black fighter pilots whose skill and heroism were demonstrated in crucial US bombing runs over Germany. Produced by George Lucas, whose enthusiasm about aerial dogfights is much on display. Well made, entertaining, but lacks the emotion and social message of the well-known HBO film from 1995. More adventure than message. Two and a half starsRogerEbert Headlines
“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” (PG-13, 129 minutes). The story of an 11-year-old boy named Oskar (Thomas Horn), whose father Thomas (Tom Hanks) was killed in 9/11. Finding a key labeled "Black" that was left behind by his dad, the boy determined to visit everyone named Black in New York City. Perhaps it will unlock a previous secret. Good acting here by young Horn, Hanks, Sandra Bullock as Oskar's mom, and Viola Davis and Jeffrey Wright as the first of the Blacks. But the idea of a small boy walking all over New York is preposterous, and the story too contrived to provide consolation after such a tragedy. Two and a half starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Norwegian Wood" (Unrated, 133 minutes). A dreamy, languorous adaptation of the best-selling love story by Haruki Murakami. Begins with two best friends and the girlfriend of one of them. I thought of "Jules and Jim." Then the boyfriend commits suicide, leaving the others behind. They become lovers for one night, she flees, he follows later, there are scenes of languorous caresses and whispering poetic love talk. Can this love, shadowed by the loss of their friend, endure? Three starsRogerEbert Headlines
"The Flowers of War" (R, 142 minutes). During the Rape of Nanking, as the Japanese Imperial Army murders civilians in the capitol city of China, a drunken American (Christian Bale) sobers up, impersonates a priest. and tries to shelter young women students and prostitutes in the cathedral. A well-crafted film by Zhang Yimou, but constructed of clichés--and why must the hero be a white westerner? Two starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Mulberry Child" (Unrated, 85 minutes). Lisa Xia was born in China but moved to Chicago at the age of three and has been thoroughly Americanized. This is not entirely pleasing to Jian Ping, her mother, who says although they live in the same city she hardly ever visits. Jian Ping takes Lisa to China so they can learn more about one another, in a powerful and touching documentary focusing on the very hard times of family members during the cultural revolution. Three and a half starsRogerEbert Headlines
"The King of Devil's Island" (Unrated, 120 minutes). Set in 1915 on an island near Oslo, tells the story of a "school" for juvenile offenders which includes forced labor, corporal punishment and sexual abuse. Said to be based on fact. Stellan Skarsgård is good as the ineffectual school governor, who suspects what's going on but allows his eyes to be clouded by optimistic platitudes. A good-looking big-budget box office hit from Norway. Three starsRogerEbert Headlines
This classic is opening in a restored version starting Jan. 20 in selected venues around the country. When the great French thriller "The Wages of Fear" (1953) was first released in America, it was missing parts of several early scenes -- because it was too long, the U.S. distributors said, and because they were anti-American, according to the Parisian critics.RogerEbert Headlines
"Carnage" (R, 79 minutes). A four-hander adapted from Yasmina Reza's Tony-award winning Broadway play. Roman Polanski modulates body language and escalating vocabulary to show two affluent New York couples meeting to discuss a run-in between their sons, and find themselves embroiled in their own run-in. Juicy performances by Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly. Three starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Contraband" (R, 110 minutes). Stars Mark Wahlberg in a plot involving the smuggling of a vast quantity of counterfeit $100 bills from Panama City to New Orleans, while meanwhile his wife Kate Bekinsale) is threatened by a crime kingpin (Giovanni Ribisi) who has the kind of snaky voice that makes you wanna smack him up alongside the head. Lots of plot elenents off the spare parts shelf. Two starsRogerEbert Headlines
"The Iron Lady" (PG-13, 105 minutes). Meryl Streep is flawless in a biopic about British Prime MInister Margaret Thatcher and her rise to power from humble origins as "the grocer's daughter from Grantham." Director Phyllida Lloyd and Abi Morgan seem to have little clear idea of what they think about her, or what they want to say. She's all dressed up with nowhere to go. Two starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Joyful Noise" (PG-13, 117 minutes). And ungainly assembly of parts that don't fit, co-starring Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton as longtime rivals in the same gospel choir in a poor rural town in Georgia. Subplots involve the star-crossed romance of Dolly's grandson and the Queen's daughter, a troubled boy with Asperger's Syndrome, two unexpected deaths, and the finals in the national gospel music competition. Hardly any spiritual content. Succeeds in finding a little something to disappoint everyone, no matter what they were expecting. One and a half starsRogerEbert Headlines
"Newlyweds" (Unrated, 95 minutes). Opens with two couples having dinner: Buzzy (Burns) and Katie (Caitlin Fitzgerald), are near the beginning of their second marriages, and the Marsha (Marsha Dietlein) and her husband, Max (Max Baker), who are in the 18th year of theirs marriage. Marsha is Katie's older sister. Much havoc will be wrought with the arrival of Katie (Caitlin Fitzgerald), Buzzy's half-sister. A $9,000 indie that has moments of charm and truth, but doesn't jell. Two starsRogerEbert Headlines
A pet alligator. A submarine crew going ballistic. A woman trapped in her girdle. Sometimes the idea itself is the film. That's the case with seven new shorts assembled by the Sundance Film Festival, for a bill opening Friday at venues nationwide.RogerEbert Headlines
Premiering on HBO Thursday night, Jan. 12. When a documentary named "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders At Robin Hood Hills" played on HBO in 1996, it left little doubt that the three young men convicted of the crimes were innocent. When "Paradise Lost 2: Revelations" played in 2000, it left less doubt. Now it is 2012 and a third film, "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory," shows them being set free in August 2011 after 17 years in jail. One of them was on Death Row.RogerEbert Headlines
"Pariah" (R, 86 minutes). A bright and likable gay Brooklyn high school student is in the process of coming out, to the unhappiness of her policeman father and churchgoing mother. Alike (Adepero Oduye) is 17 and never been kissed, but visits a lesbian club with her butch best friend. Her family is one of those where a truth may be right there in the room but is never acknowledged. Impressive debut by writer-director Dee Rees, and a luminous performance by Adepero Oduye. Three and a half starsRogerEbert Headlines
“In the Land of Blood and Honey” (R, 126 minutes). About a Serbian policeman named Danijel (Goran Kostic) and a Muslim artist named Ajla (Zana Marjanovic) who are just falling in love when the Bosnian War breaks out. She is taken prisoner. As her warden, he saves her from rape and shields her from punishment. He devises a cover that allows them to become lovers, but his father, a general, finds them out. Written and directed by Anjelina Jolie, with particular emphasis on how wars victimize women. Moving and involving, but the melodrama somehow plays in a minor key. Two and a half starsRogerEbert Headlines
