      Shirley MacLaine, with those old comic chops still very much intact, turns Nugent into a dark force of resistance to Tiedes cheery disposition. ( Read More )
    • Linklater threads a thin needle here, because for all the lurid chicanery in TabloidKidnapping! ( Read More )
    • Marc Savlov

      Im not sure how itll play in Peoria, but I can pretty much guarantee itll be held over in Carthage itself, so eloquently does it capture the peculiar rhythms of life and death in small town Texas. ( Read More )
    • Joshua Rothkopf

      Bernie, a triumph of small scale, regional pulp, doesnt quite operate as a menacing thriller, nor as a one note yokel comedy. ( Read More )
    • Although its clear that the filmmakers want to leave Bernie opaque so that his actions remain inexplicable, Black doesnt offer any interesting angle on this persons inner life, which makes for frustrating rather than intriguing viewing. ( Read More )
