Review: Moonrise Kingdom
Wes Anderson paints his masterpiece BY PETER KEOUGH
Review: Moonrise Kingdom

Wes Anderson paints his masterpiece

  • Review: Chernobyl Diaries
    More akin to a meander through a haunted house than a fulfilling feature film, the latest work from Paranormal Activity auteur Oren Peli (he produces, Bradley Parker directs) relies on his tried-and-true formula of favoring atmospheric terror over visceral scares.
  • Review: Elena
    Andrei Zvyagintsev's film, a Special Jury Prize winner at Cannes 2011, becomes more than a domestic melodrama: a grim, effective allegory of the daily whirl in Putinland.
  • Review: Follow Me: The Yoni Netanyahu Story
    Whatever your opinion of the policies of Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, you can't deny that his brother Yoni was a hero, a courageous man whose conflicts and triumphs mirror those of his homeland.
  • Review: For Greater Glory
    Bring coffee, because director Dean Wright's dramatization of the 3-year-long Cristero War (1926-9) seems to last longer than the Mexican conflict itself.
  • Review: The Intouchables
    French comedies rarely travel well, but The Intouchables , the first film from the writer-director team of Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache to be commercially released here, has earned its status as an international blockbuster.
  • Review: The Whole World Waiting
    They thought America was a glittering land of wealth and fame . . . they were wrong. Fifteen immigrant and refugee teenagers tell their stories of coming to New England and share their perspectives in The Whole World Waiting , a compilation of documentary vignettes lushly shot by David Meiklejohn at locations in and around Portland, Maine.
  • Review: I Wish
    Two elementary school brothers living in southern Japan are forced to live in different cities due to the estrangement of their parents.
  • Review: Men In Black 3
    Griffin (Michael Stuhlbarg), a fifth dimensional alien, can see the infinite possibilities each moment possesses and the infinite contingencies that caused it to happen.
  • Review: Polisse
    The third feature by French actress and filmmaker Maïwenn, about the inner-workings of Paris's Child Protection Unit (CPU), is certainly kinetic, though also mannered and hyperbolic.
  • Review: Where Do We Go Now?
    Lebanese director Nadine Labaki's whimsical film about internecine slaughter has a tone problem from the very start: a group of widows engage in a goofy line dance while the voiceover narrator bewails the death toll of religious warfare.
  • Review: Bernie
    So beloved was Bernie that when he shot his elderly companion Marjorie Nugent, the meanest — and richest — woman in town, district attorney Danny Buck Davidson had to move the trial nearly 50 miles away.
  • Review: Battleship
    Hasbro's Transformers have made a mint; why not make a movie out of Battleship ?
  • Review: Darling Companion
    As pedestrian as a stroll through the dog park, Lawrence Kasdan's latest (and worst) film is both insulting and inconsequential.
  • Review: Girl in Progress
    As rites of passage go, Girl in Progress is a step backward for the genre.
