How Green Was My Valley (1941)

Drama Rated NR

“There is no logical reason why you should feel as warm and nostalgic as you do at the end of How Green Was My Valley. “

The Visit (2015)

Horror Rated PG-13

“…generates enough low-key creepiness to make Shyamalan once more worthy of discussion.”

The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)

Drama Rated R

“…the inherent stodginess of Biblical adaptations (to say nothing of Harvey Keitel’s Brooklyn accent) ultimately manages to prevail.”

Queen of Earth (2015)

Drama Rated NR

“…both a self-conscious homage and a frustrating dither.”

School Daze (1988)

Comedy Rated R

“Skin tone is crucial to understanding School Daze’s brazenness as a major-studio film.”

Mistress America (2015)

Comedy Rated R

“…keeps piling on the characters and complications until it’s worked itself up from screwball comedy to straight-out farce.”

Ikiru (1952)

Drama Rated NR

“Talk about a movie that earns its tears.”

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“The 52-year-old Cruise doesn’t look ridiculous at any point, which in itself is ridiculous.”

Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet (2015)

Family Rated PG

“…particularly well-designed inspirational posters.”

The End of the Tour (2015)

Drama Rated R

“…most intriguing as a passive-aggressive competition of egos between the two men.”
